JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN 2.1 FEET, CLEAR AND 85 DEGREES BY ED CAVENDER.
Bass fishing is fair to slow on Jackson Lake. Water temps are up pretty good and many fish are on deeper off shore structure. Fish early and late in the day for the best shallow fishing opportunities. The main lake lay downs can hold good fish, but deep docks and brush piles can be a preferable form of cover when skies are clear and the sun is high. A swimming jig presentation can be particularly effective when fished early over lay downs. Green Craw Net Boy jigs and shaky heads are taking fish on brush of 15 foot and deeper, deep docks, and out to deeper water on the points, humps, bluffs, and channel swings. Convert to a 1/2 or 3/4 football jig off shore. Many baits can be fished successfully, depending on time of day and conditions, from buzz baits and Rico's, to crankbaits, swim baits, and fish head spins. Choose natural colored crankbaits that suit the depth you are targeting. You can catch fish in a variety of depth ranges so you might throw Bandit 200 300 in some areas and DD22's in others. Crankbaits along with Fish Head Spins and other fast baits, are good tools for covering all terrain between shallow cover and fan casting out on off shore structure. Keep a Rico or Pop R handy for a well timed and placed cast on schoolers that come up off shore early, late, and under overcast skies. Those bites may not be green bass, but they are good putting tension on the line when the bite is otherwise slow.
