Lower Lake offers better fishing, overall. Clearer water and prominent structures abound. Plenty of deep weed-lines, rock piles, islands, points, bays, deep-water breaks and sunken islands to go around.
Largemouth Bass are the trophy fish in Prior. In fact, tournaments are held here regularly. And they need to pull in a 4-pounder, just to rank!
The best early summer locations are the points, outside weedlines, the sunken islands and the docks next to deeper weeds. Throughout the season, the best spots are just west of Candy Cove, the first Bay east of Sand Point Beach, Frost Point (around the islands) and the sunken islands marked with buoys.
Nick Pushcar, a staffer at Prior Lake Bait and Tackle suggests using a tube jig on the deep weedlines. Or, try skipping a dark green plastic frog across the top of the weeds. Another popular lure is a white 3/8-oz Chatterbait – which combines the action of the crankbait, spinnerbait and jig into one lure.
