Bartletts Ferry Fishing Report – July 2021

Bartletts Ferry: Level: 0.6 below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Light stain.

Bass: Slow. The best bite has been for early morning topwater action along seawalls. Try a baby Zara Spook or a Sammy walking bait, and buzzbaits have been getting hit some, too. Be on the lookout for mayfly hatches. If you find one, that’s for sure going to be your best bet. Use a Pop-R on top, or fish a soft jerkbait like a Senko. During the day, fish a shaky-head jig with a natural-green colored finesse worm in brushpiles and under docks. If there is current, try a crankbait on the main-lake points that have brush.
