How to Fish at Lake Palestine

You don’t have to be a competition-level fisherman to fish at Lake Palestine. The lake is 18 miles long and features 135 miles of shoreline. Any kind of sport fishing enthusiast can easily find a spot to cast into.

The lake has plenty of other amenities and activities, too. It has marinas and boat launch docks, cabins, campsites, and more. Boating and skiing enthusiasts can enjoy the waters, as well. But fishing is what Lake Palestine is known for most.

As the lake is a good fit for all levels of angler and topwater fishing, so too are jig heads. Jigs fit every angler and most types of fishing, but they’re made to sink, and made to keep the bait off the lake floor. However, varieties are also available that allow anglers to jig with a bobber, to rig on top of your lead head, or to put on a soft body and fish top of water. Jig heads are also available for fishing in current. 
Texas rigs are very common at Lake Palestine, then there are swimbaits, but if you want a lively jig for topwater bass fishing, you’ve got to try these floating jig heads.
