Lake Burton Fishing Report Water Temp: 52 deg Level: 6ft below full pool Clarity: Clear
Bass The Spotted Bass bite has been good the last few days. We have been catching fish up shallow mid morning in pockets. Top water Mini Heddon Torpedoes ( clear and green) have been working best. We have been working these around rocks and blown down trees. We have also had some success using a Texas rigged pumpkin seed finesse worm. Try using these on long main lake points where the afternoon sun sets. These clay points warm the water and seem to be holding more fish. The Bass spawn is right around the corner. Most of these fish should be pull up shallow and offer some great results. TroutThe Brown Trout have moved up in the creeks shallow and are feeding on the Blueback Herring in 15 to 20ft of water. Casting small Jerk baits and Rooster tails had been the ticket. We have caught some bigger fish slow trolling Night Crawlers on crawler rigs. Look for this pattern to continue for the next few weeks.
Walleye
The Walleye spawn should be winding down and most of the fish seem to be up in the river channels and around the bank lines. These fish are hungry and will bite about anything they can get their mouths on. Trolling small crank baits 2.5 to 2mph seems to be the ticket. This bite should continue for the next several weeks.
Good Luck!Wes Carlton
