The Shadow Rap Deep Jerkbait in Ghost Shiner color was the ticket to a successful day on Lake George, NY. Largemouth, Smallmouth, and a Lake Trout were caught in 58-60 degree water temperature with a slight breeze from the Southeast. The most consistent bite pattern came from casting the jerkbait outside shallow water markers towards the main lake in 12-15 fow and near points from the main lake to the bays. Look for rock flats and boulders near drop offs and cast from shallow to deep for a bigger Bass bite. Smaller Black bass were caught in 4-6 fow using a Charlie Brewer Slider Grub with 1/8 oz Keitech tungsten jig head.

Working a deep diving Jerkbait with quick twitches, switching up the cadence often but majority of bites came on the pause. Suspended fish working 5-15 FOW around the bridges and piping’s. Definitely had little bite windows when I’d get bit cast after cast. But they are definitely chasing and fat, healthy fishing moving into the shallow bays. After about 20-30 minutes of not getting but I occasionally got bit on a ned rig in the same areas. Bridge near Norowal Marina
