OVERVIEW:   Early morning, late afternoon and night time will be the best times to try your luck. Bass and striper fishing has been good!  Water temperature will be in the 80’s.

Largemouth Bass-Fishing will be good. Best lures will be large plastic worms, jig & pig, Thunder sticks, deep diving crankbaits and drop shots. Most largemouth bass will be caught on humps, main channel  points, ledges and  deep rocky shorelines. Some largemouth bass will chase schools of bait early and late in the day.. Largemouth bass will be in their summer patterns. Best depths will be 10 to 18 feet deep. Night fishing will be good.

Smallmouth Bass– Fishing should be fair. Best areas will be humps, rocky areas and main points. Best lures will be jig & pig, drop shots, small crankbaits, top water lures and jigs. Best areas will be in the mid to the lower sections of the lake. Smallmouth bass will surface feed this month. Cloudy days are a good time to try your luck!

Striped Bass– Fishing will be good. Stripers will be caught in various areas of the lake.
The best areas will be in the mid sections of  both rivers and the larger creeks. Best lures will be swimbaits,  bucktails and Zoom flukes fished  on 3/8 to 3/4 oz. lead heads. Live bait and trolling will also be productive. The best depths will be from 20 to 60 feet deep. Night fishing will be fair. Some schools of stripers will surface early and late day.

Crappie-Fishing for crappie will be fair. They will be found 10 to 25 feet deep this month. Best areas will be in the main creeks around deep docks, fallen trees, and brush piles in the mid to upper parts of the lake. Small live minnows and 1 ½ inch tubes fished on 1/16 to 1/8 oz. lead heads will work best to catch crappie this month.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Try using light test fluorocarbon line and smaller size lures when fishing during the day time. Large crankbaits and 8 to 10 inch plastic worms work good after dark. Most fish will relate to some type of structure during the summer months.

Sunline Products – Part 1 – by Will Petty

Sunline Products

For the past three years, I have been using Sunline products to cover my fishing line needs.  Sunline emphasizes quality in their products and since I have made the switch I don’t see a need to ever switch back to mainstream brands.  They have a large array of products so in the following weeks I’d like to help narrow the choices down to what I have found to work in my fishing.

Sunline FC Sniper
Sniper is my workhorse in the Sunline lineup.  I use Sniper for about 75% of my techniques because it is a very manageable flurocarbon and a good price point.  Since Sniper typically has a smaller diameter than other flurocarbons of the same test class, I can get more bites with the same breaking strength.   I have found that it is an excellent choice for most every technique but it excels in applications that call for casting a bottom contact bait.  I use diameters ranging from 8lb for shaky heads to 16lb for light flipping.

Give Sunline FC Sniper a try today and you won’t regret it!  If you are in the Lynchburg area, you can find Sunline Sniper at W&W Novelty.  They can get Sniper and other Sunline products quickly so give them a call and see what you have been missing!

Spro Fat John

Spro Fat John


Spro Fat John – The Four-wheel drive crankbait!
Spro has recently expanded their Little John series to include a fat (but still flat) crankbait. This bait isn’t just a bulked up version of the Little John, it is completely different with features such as a different bill angle, slightly longer length, and a fat body that creates a nice thumping wobble along with the elusive “hunting” action that generates more strikes.
The Fat John comes equipped with sticky #3 Gamakatsu trebles and a finish that is one of the most durable in the industry. This bait can be thrown just about anywhere there is water and it will come back looking pretty or with a fish in tow. The Fat John is excellent in and around wood cover so this will be a great spring time crankbait or one that works wonders on the region’s tidal fisheries. The Fat John will run two to three feet on fifteen pound line but you can downsize your line to get another foot or two out of it. Spro is offering this bait in eight of their best colors and should be waiting for you at your local tackle store or at www.Spro.com .


“The Stare down!- Note the differences in thickness between the original Spro Little John 50 (left) and the new Fat John 60 (right)”


“The greater degree of the bill angle on the Fat John allows for better deflection in heavy cover as well as a wider wobble than the original Little John.”
