Had a free weekend coming up and thought I would fish Banks lake, being i have yet to give her a try. I know the lake level is dropping so fishing should be a bit easier. I have heard it is a dropshot/finesse lake for smallies but would also like to stick a lmb. Any suggestions for areas to focus or techniques in August, without giving away your secrets?

Thanks in advance

My "Jill" and I took 3rd. and big fish for $1200.00 in a Jack-N-Jill tournament there last month before the lake began drawing down and caught/weighed all Largemouth in the punchbowl fishing Senkos skipped to reeds, this might not be possible now but the offshore weedlines should be they're haunts now as thats where they go for Sept. September the lake is usually down 5-7 ft. so the pattern of wacky rigged Senkos or light Niko-rigged baits should do well...if any wind kicks up tie on a frog and fish with the wind over those same weed edges and hang on!

Good Luck and post a report!
