Looking for advice on fishing times ford lake. I've never fished it. I'm used to fishing old hickory lake. Clear water will be interesting. I'm thinking wacky worm, crank baits and maybe a spinner bait. I'm also thinking a jig. I know the water is clear. Lots of rocks and not many stumps. Old hickory has lots of stumps and not many rocks! Just looking for some advice. I've been on the lake once and its beautiful. But never fished it.

Thanks,

Definitely go with the crank baits and spinnerbaits I caught a nice smallmouth using a crank bait

Never been there but I hear there's some world class stripe in that place

I've had some luck with crankbaits along the rip-rap on the causeway at the end of Lost Creek.  A carolina-rigged finesse worm (june bug) has worked for me as well.  In addition to smallmouth, I landed a 9.9 lb striper there in April of '13.  There's also a public launch right there that's handy.  Also, there are some big walleye in the lake that are always fun.  If you want a guide, Jake Davis is great and will put you on fish.
