          FEBRUARY   FISHING  REPORT FOR  LAKE WEST POINT !!!


     

        BASS :   FAIR  ----Things are beginning to pick up a bit as the weather improves  in February. The shallow bite for bass is fair right now, but should improve quickly in February ,especially with a warm rain and  extended warming trend . Stained water, higher than normal  lake levels  and water temps in the low 60's will turn things on  quickly. Baits such as crawdad Shad Raps,   Rat'l Traps  and Chatterbaits will produce on  these shallower fish .Try  to  fish these baits in coves and pockets  with small feeder creeks or around schools of baitfish. . Keep  a jig or  shakey head handy to  pitch around any  wood cover . Fishing rip-rap can also produce good results this time of  year. The rocks warm quickly and retain heat.Some trophy size fish are  always caught in February !!!  The blue back population in the lake is  on the rise and that along with the Largemouth socking program seems to  be helping the Lake. The number of  fat and healthy bass seem to be on  the uptick already this year.-     ---   -ON THE OTHER HAND , a snow or ice storm in February could shut the  bite  down completely! Water temps in the  30's and 40's make it super  tough.---- If the lake stays cold and clear ,go deep!. Big schools of  spots mixed with hybrids, white  bass and stripers can still  be caught on jigging spoons and dropshot  rigs and  shakey head rigs on humps  and dropoffs. Target deeper offshore structures like brushpiles and old road beds in 20-30  feet of water  near the mouth of most major creeks for the best  results.  



              LINESIDES :  GOOD --- The down line bite with shad or bass shiners has stayed good as  the water has cooled off, and in most years ,stays good all winter .  Most  of the fish seem to be holding 25 to 40 feet deep except for those rare days when they  are schooling on the surface. ----- Expect the topwater fishing to  be very sporadic . It's usually best very early and very late,  or on overcast or rainy days .Gulls and  Loons are here now  ,which  makes it easier  to pinpoint schooling stripers and hybrids .  Keep your eyes open ! The  popping cork  rig has still been working on  schooling 1- to 3-lb. fish with an occasional bigger one mixed  in.--  A big Red Fin or a big Swimbait won't get many bites but could  produce a 20lb fish ,------ A  3/8 or 1/2-oz. white Rooster Tail, a chrome C.C.  Spoon and a number of  other small shad imitators have also  been producing, and as long as the  water stays pretty cold ( below 60 or so  )the deep bite is good..  Trolling with mid-depth crankbaits and Flash Mob Jr. rigs also continues to produce some linesides    ----The mouths of most creeks  anywhere  south of  the Highland Marina area all the way to the dam and Maple Creek have  been holding  fish. ------ A few fish are usually beginning to make the  river  run up the Hooch in late February as well . They can be caught in the  mouths of most of the creeks , especially if we have an early spring.  Try cut bait in water temps below 60 degrees.   

              CRAPPIE__: GOOD  - In most years a warm - lake staining  rain  in  February  will set the crappie bite on fire. Fishing with minnows or jigs 3-4  feet under a float will catch them when they decide to move up .The bank  fishing can be just as good as fishing from a boat!   ---Other  techniques will work as well.Guys that spider troll JIFFY JIGS do really  well this time of year.. ---  Try tight line fishing with minnows or a  1/16-oz.   or 1/8  jig around bridge pilings, brushpiles, and blowdowns in 15 to 20 feet of water. Concentrate on trees and brush that are close to the old  creek channels.-- Pitching or shooting deep water docks with small tubes  or feather  jigs around or under the docks can still produce this time of year as  well -- You can't beat crappie on the dinner table either. TIME TO START  FILLING THAT FREEZER! .-  .
