wind blown point bass fishing

Inks Lake is at a normal level with stained water offering roughly 2–4 feet of visibility and water temperatures around 73 degrees. Bass are positioned shallow, generally less than 10 feet deep, and are relating to main lake points with a harder bottom. Wind-blown points have been the most productive areas. Fish are in all phases of the spawn, though the majority appear to be transitioning into a post-spawn pattern.

Drop-shot rigged finesse worms have been producing the most consistent action when worked along these main lake points. Focusing on wind-blown areas has been key, as those locations are holding the most active fish. Slowing down and thoroughly working productive stretches has helped generate consistent bites.
