what's going on everyone Sam here from Lake Pro Tackle we've got a updated fishing report for Lake Joe Pool right now water temps are going to be ranging from around 83 to 85 depending on where you are in the lake I was fishing out there and it was pretty windy the bait got moved around a lot so uh certain areas and certain banks had a ton of bait on it and definitely had a lot of fish for me fishing a drop shot and a Carolina rig. The majority of my fish I also caught a couple on a jerk bait and around six to eight foot of water now a bunch of the bait is going to be on the southwest side right now so depending on where the wind goes and if you have a very strong headwind I would say follow the bait it's going to show you where the fish are and they're definitely much more active in those areas with a lot of bait so thank you so much for watching if you want to see the exact baits and colors that I was using head over to lakeportackle.com you can find them right there add them straight to your cart for easy checkout
