Lake Jackson Fishing Reports – December 2020

Jackson: Level: Full pool. Temp: 62-66 degrees. Clarity: Stained.

Bass: Tournament angler Brian Lee reports, “The fall bite is in full swing. Bass are starting to school up in the mouths of pockets and follow shad to the backs of the pockets. A squarebill early morning is producing some good numbers. Color depends on water clarity, but the go-to colors are crawfish and chartreuse/blue. As the day goes on, the bass will school up more and you can target these schools with a small- to medium-sized spoon. Be patient jigging the spoon, as this technique can take a little time to persuade the fish. If you can find an active school feeding, you can load the boat quickly. This time of year requires a simple and straightforward presentation type of fishing. Once you get a bite, keep duplicating that cadence. A jig around any kind of structure will yield quality bites, but just be patient. Spinnerbaits are catching some good numbers, as well. Till next month, tight lines.”
