West Point: Level: 4.6 feet below full. Temp: Upper 40s. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Fair. Guide Keith Hudson reports, “We still seem to be stuck in this winter weather pattern for at least a little longer.

Weiss: Level: 3.4 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 40s. Clarity: Stained.Bass: Fair. Guide Mark Collins reports, “A lot of bass are on the old creek and river channel ledges and deeper humps and roadbeds. Carolina-rigged plastics, Texas-rigged Senkos and jigs are producing some bass.

Sinclair: Level: 1.1 feet low. Temp: 42-48 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Tournament angler Aaron Batson reports, “Fish are wanting to move shallow, but cold nights have slowed their progress.
