Bartlett Lake Report 6-20-04

BARTLETT LAKE

Crappie fishing is good at night. Some are being caught now with minnows near the Yellow Cliffs area and in coves around structure. Try the Alder Cove area also. Night fishing under lights has been good around the Rattlesnake Cove Recreation Area. Don’t overlook the habitat buoys, as fish will start to concentrate around these structures.

Bass fishing is red hot. Bass aren’t huge (1-2 pound range) but plentiful; anglers often catch between 10 and 20 bass a day here. Bass are being caught with crawdad imitations and dark plastics. Most reports say shad imitation crankbaits fished near rock piles along the main lake are working best. Drop-shotting “Robo Worms” is working well. Black Power Worms and lizard imitations have been catching fish. Soft plastics, jigs and Westys are the best nighttime baits. Also keep a look out for bass chasing shad boils, try throwing jerk baits into the boil.

Catfishing is really good at night. Recent reports of channel and large flatheads caught at night near the dam. Use live blue gills and small Tilapia for the for the flatheads. Channels can be caught on a variety of the stinck baits as well as hotdogs, Shrimp, and Mackeral.
