West Point: Level: 11.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 64 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair.

West Point: Level: 1.2 feet below pool. Temp: Low 70s. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Excellent. Chris Bell reports, “Bass fishing is excellent. Fish are in all phases. With the stained water, seeing bedded fish will be difficult. The best pattern in these conditions seems to be pitching 3/8-oz. black/blue jig with a Z-Man black-with-blue-fleck Chunkz. My…
West Point: Level: 1.3 feet below pool. Temp: 64 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Good. Chris Bell reports, “Fish have begun moving into the backs of pockets and creeks relating to sparse wood.
