Fishing Reports
Russell: Level: Full pool. Temp: 72-74 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Look for baitfish activity or bass busting the surface in the creeks. You should get some topwater early action on a buzzbait or a Pop-R. Concentrate on the secondary pockets from mid-way to the backs of the creeks. Also try running a small crankbait…
Inshore: Very good for redfish (see the article on page 50). The fishing for sea trout is also good. Capt. David Newlin said they’ve been catching good numbers of trout around St. Catherine and Ossabaw on live shrimp, and they’ve just started taking artificials pretty good. Capt. Judy Helmey has also been spending some time…
Seminole: Level: 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 81 degrees. Clarity: Clear, but the recent rains will probably stir the lake up some. Bass: Tough. “Everybody’s really waiting on the bite to turn on. It’s just been tough,” said Butch Tucker. “With this cold front moving through it should be getting better on the grass.”…
Sinclair: Level: 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 70s. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Fair. “With the little bit of cool weather we’ve had, the shad are moving shallower, and the fish just seem to be on docks right now,” said Kim Carver. “For some reason, they seem to have been on docks all year.” Kim…
Weiss: Level: 6.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 75 degrees. Clarity: The main lake is clear. The backs of the creeks are dingy. Bass: Good. Lake Weiss fishing guide Mark Collins says the bass have moved shallow in the main lake due to the falling water and low oxygen levels in the deeper water. Work…
West Point: Level: Down 13.2 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 70s. Clarity: Clear on main lake, slight stain up the Chattahoochee River. Boating advisory: Low lake level. Use caution. Many of West Point’s boat ramps are also out of the water. At presstime, Long Cane, Yellow Jacket and Half Moon were all operational. Largemouth:…
Marben PFA: Level: All of the ponds are down from the drought. The boat ramp at Bennett continues to be unusable. Clarity: 24 to 30 inches. Temp: Low 70s. Bass: Bass are moving into shallower water at this time and are starting to hit spinnerbaits and some topwater lures, especially early and late in the…
If you are a veteran of United States military service, hopefully you’ve been extended the hand of gratitude — whether applause at the airport upon your return or just a handshake on the street. Bob Paschal, a sportsman and a veteran from Roberta, and his fellow members of the Crawford County Lion’s Club, want to…
The ladder stand was lashed onto a pine in a new hot spot as the 2006 whitetail season wound down, and the excited hunter had only a few last-minute items on his to-do list before easing out of the area. He climbed to the top platform with an adjustable saw, intent on pruning away a…
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody’s around, does it make a noise? It probably did for one Irwin County 8- pointer, that was pinned under a pine tree that likely fell during a strong thunderstorm. “That kind of blew my mind,” said Bucky Tyler of Ocilla. Bucky found the deer at the…
