Lake Burton Fishing Report

Lake Burton Fishing ReportWater Temp: 52 degClarity: ClearLevel: 5 ft below pool
BassThe Bass bite has been consistent the last couple of weeks. We have been catching most of our fish in and around docks close to steep rock ledges. Spro Crank baits have been working best. The fish are feeding in the Blue Back Herring close to these areas. Mid morning seems to be the best time to catch the bigger Large Mouth on the bank lines. The Spotted Bass are still surfacing mid morning to mid afternoon. We have caught some really nice Spots on jerk baits in a Herring Color working main lake points. 
TroutThe Brown Trout bite has slowed a little. We are still catching some fish trolling Yo-Zuri Pins Minnows 10 to 15ft deep over the main lake channel. Most of the bigger schools of fish have broken up and spread throughout the lake. Looking for surfacing action shortly after daylight can be a very successful technique for catching a bigger Brown Trout on a spinnerbait.  We have even caught a few on small topwater plugs and jerk baits while Bass Fishing. This pattern should continue for the next several weeks as we head towards the end of January. The spoon bite should pick up as the water temps dive toward the 40’s. 
Good Luck!Wes Carlton
