Two Water Colors 1 Fantastic Bite

[Bill Babler]

Lake is divided from above Shell Knob to KC in a tea brown color and from Point 7 to Longcreek and point 15 in the James River to the mouth of the James in a turquoise green.  Average temp no matter where I fish has been 75-78. 

Make No mistake, this water is still stained lake wide.  My clients are throwing 1 bait and 1 bait only right now, no matter the lake section I choose. 

We're tossing a 1/2 oz PBJ Jig with a Yamamoto Cinnamon/Purple twin tail.  No need to throw it in the bushes and get hung up.  We are catching lots of keeper fish in 12 to 20 feet. In front of the bushes and out the chunk rock main lake and secondary points. I'm mostly throwing it on 12 pound Invesx.  

1/2 day early morning trips are catching, really good numbers of quality fish.  K's, Smj's and LM. I KNOW Ned will get them but if you want to throw Big Boy Toys, they are Crushing that Jig Combo.   Good Luck.  I'm still not able to access OAF thru our WIFI

Thanks for the info Bill. Much appreciated

we are catching them in areas where there are lots of unseen submerged bushes, and do not have any trouble in casting a jig and coming through the bushes without getting hung up.  and yes, the jig bite is pretty darn good.

We're catching them without a sign of a bush. With this water color they are staying really up close just cruising.   There are Also lots of shad up there tight, in and out of the bushes

Bill, great report.  While you were out Comey testified today, and your Wifi issue is due to the Russians.

I'm betting that Beck has set up some sort of long-range scrambler device that is shooting across the lake from Schooner Creek and disrupting your Wi-Fi.

Went to Hook Line and Sinker and they were sold out of Cinnamon/Purple twin tails. I have a feeling Champ made a visit before I got there😀. I got the next closest thing which is green pumpkin/purple and orange flake. They are almost identical. Grabbed some Pb/j skirts and jigs as well.
