Hopped out on Joe Pool Lake today and had a great day! Caught Fish on the top end of the rocky ledges bringing a 6th Sense Divine Swimbait 2.7 Ghost Ice Minnow Color mimicking the small forage they are feeding on. Caught a few on the Drop Shot in about 8-10ft of water near the Dam as well. We also hooked into another good Largemouth on a Strike King White Spinnerbait 1/2 oz on bringing it over the top of a Brush Pile. Rod used for the 2.7 Divine Swimbait is the Dobyns Champion XP 703sf.

The sun was very high when I was fishing in the summer. Water was just getting to the mid 80’s. I fished a couple night tournaments and did really well with 5 fish going 4.2lbs. Remember Joe Pool is a slot lake and your fish have to be under 14” or over 21”. I cranked down many banks but the best ones were ones not directly facing the wind and ones that had chunky rock.

Throwing past the cover was key and then working the Bellows Gill back to the targeted laydown or stump / standing timber.
