One of my favorite types of cover/structure to target on Mozingo are the numerous historic road beds and trails flooded beneath the lake when impounded in the early 1990s. All of the roadbeds are accessible from boat and many are also accessible from the shore. Working the road bed, rocks, wood and submerged weeds on and around the beds with Texas-rigged soft stickbaits and jigs produce quality bass during the prespawn as well as throughout the open water season. Mozingo has been listed in the top 100 list of Bassmaster's top U.S. bass lakes and given the quality of the fishery it's not a surprise. With three quality launch ramps and numerous shore fishing locations, it's one of the more accessible fisheries in the area.
