Lake fish are active much longer during daytime hours and are normally found in much shallower water in early morning and the late afternoon. Largemouth Bass are more active during the fall season, winter and the spring months due to the much cooler weather. For active fish, spinner baits and crank baits are most fisherman's choice. A variety of watermelon green plastic worms seems to work well during the hot months when fished in grass. In the early morning, use top water baits like Poppers, Prop Baits or Flukes are your best bet to start with.

Palmetto Creek Point...use white deep diving crank baits on the points. Harmon Creek...use jigs, white rattle traps and chrome blue spinner baits and trolling jigs.
