Lake Pleasant
Report
The Striper Bite Is On TOO!!!
Stripers & White Bass
The Water Levels Are Now Stable As The Water Temperatures Has Reached The Low To Mid To 80’s. You Will Need To Be Flexible And Adjust Your Bait Selections To Reflect The Changes That Have Occurred To The Water Level, Surface Water Temperature, And Color In The Water Column. Also, Be Aware Of The Changes In The Thermocline. You Should Also, Consider The Depth That You Find The Fish When You Select Your Baits And The Presentations That You Are Going To Use At That Depth. The Color, Size, Depth, And Action Of The Baits You Select Will Be Crucial. If You Are Going To Be Successful In Catching Fish. Baits To Consider Would Include: Drop Shot Rigs, Alabama Rigs, Chatterbaits, Cranks, Spinnerbaits, Spoons, Swimbaits, Jerk Baits, And Carolina Rigs Just To Name A Few.
Here is Just A Sample Of The Stripers Caught On Jigs, A Rigs, Spoons, Drop Shot Rigs, And Swimbaits
Trolling And Casting A Rigs With Swimbaits, Throwing Suspending Jerk Baits, Slow Rolling & Trolling Spinnerbaits And Swimbaits Can Produce Results. Casting A Rigs especially from the shallows to depths of 20 to 35 feet in the backs of coves, off points, and along transitions in the Northern Coves will also put fish (like the ones shown above) in the boat.
Here Are Just A Few Pictures Of Some Of Our Happy Customers. As You Can See, They Are Not Only Holding Some Nice Fish They are Also Wearing Some Pretty Big Smiles.
