Lake Nottely Fishing Report – September 2021

Nottely: Level: Full pool. Temp: 81-83 degrees. Clarity: Clear on the main lake, stained in the creeks and river.

Linesides: Guide Jeremy Seabolt reports, “Striper fishing has been off the charts. This has been probably been the best August I have ever seen. We have been on some nice schools of fish. We have had a lot of 20- to 40-plus fish days. We have been catching most of our fish on downlines and trolling, but the downlines have been catching more fish. We are finding schools of fish all over. Most fish are holding 30 to 70 feet deep over a 100-foot bottom. Going into September, not much should change the first few weeks, but we should start catching fish some on topwater the last few weeks of September, so keep a topwater bait handy for schooling fish. Downlines will still be the go-to fishing method, and don’t forget the Bait Shack has all your striper candy needs.”
