Brewer Lake Fishing Report
The fish may be more spooky in the calm water, so long casts and subtle action are key.
BREWER LAKE – TODAY'S PLAN (JUNE 29)
THE CALL
Cooling water (69°F, down 1.7° over recent readings) and rising pressure mean fish are grouping on the first break near wind-blown cover. Start on the west shoreline with a 1/2-oz white/chartreuse chatterbait from now through 1 PM, then slide to a slow jig as the sun peaks.
WHY IT WINS
- Cooling + steady pressure – Fish aren't roaming; they're holding tighter to structure and shade. The ESE wind (14 mph with gusts to 21) stacks bait and oxygen on the west bank, making that the most active zone.
- Mostly cloudy + 83% precip – Low light keeps fish shallower and more willing to chase, even with rising pressure.
- Full moon solunar 5/5 – Expect an extra push mid-morning and again near dusk. The 6–9 AM window already passed, but the next good window runs from now until the wind peaks.
START HERE
Hit the west shoreline from the northwest corner down to the southwest point. Target the first break from 3–6 ft where wind hits laydowns, scattered rock, and any remaining weed edges. Use the structure map to find the steepest drop-offs on that side.
THROW THIS
- Primary: 1/2-oz white/chartreuse chatterbait with a Zako trailer. Slow-roll it just off bottom, pausing at any wood or rock. Wind helps it thump without effort.
- Backup: 3/8-oz green-pumpkin football jig with a chunk trailer. Switch to this if the chatterbait gets short strikes or follows. Work it slow, dragging and pausing on the break.
BEST WINDOW
Now (10:30 AM) to 1 PM – Wind is still manageable (14–21 mph), clouds keep light low. After 1 PM, wind may build past 25 mph and boat control gets tough. If you can stay out, 5–8 PM is the second push: light fades, pressure stabilizes, and the full moon influence returns.
NEXT MOVE
If the west bank doesn't produce after 45 minutes, slide to the east shore – that lee side will be calmer. Fish a 1/4-oz shaky head with a green pumpkin finesse worm on the same depth break (3–6 ft). The fish may be more spooky in the calm water, so long casts and subtle action are key.
