My father in law and I will be fishing Lake Martin for the first time in the next week or two. We have traditionally fished in Tennessee for bass with soft plastics and crankbaits. We will be staying at Wind Creek State Park. Is there any advice you can offer to a first timer to this lake? Should we stay pretty close to the park? Should we work with plastics/crainkbaits/spinners/jigs? We would greatly appreciate any assistance you can give to provide us with a memorable trip. Thank You..

Lake Martin is a great lake for spots. It can be a hard lake for the first time angler. I use june bug green or and soft plastic with a green tint. The lake has several good areas that hold good fish, one area I like is located around the sail boat club and up in blue creek their is some awsume fishing. Last sping I fished one area around the sail boat club and was limited out by lunch. Dont get me wrong this does not happen as offten as I would like! I fish a carolina rig, just use the dead ringer or the small lizard and keep it in the water and hang on! Good luck
