Fishing Reports
Nottely: Level: 15.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 45 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Slow. Dwight Dilbeck was on the lake Saturday, February 24, and in a half day of fishing they zeroed on both bass and stripers. “We tried everything and didn’t get a bite,” said Dwight. Things that usually work this time of year,…
Lanier: Level: Down 5.2 feet below full pool. Temps: 44-48 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Spotted Bass: Fair as fish are scattered — some big spots are still in the deep timber, but in general they’re going to make a quick move to the points at the mouths of spawning pockets and into the pockets. March is…
Jackson: Level: 3.8 feet low. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Great. Aaron Batson had five on Monday that went 21 pounds. “We only had six keepers,” said Aaron. “We were primarily flipping jigs on rocks in eight to 10 feet of water. It had to be close to deep water.” Aaron was fishing a…
Hartwell: Level: 3.9 feet below full pool. Temp: 50-52 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Wayne Holcomb was on the lake February 23 pre-fishing for a club tournament. He said the worm bite was off, the fish didn’t want a Shad Rap either, but he and his partner caught some fish on a Norman’s crankbait. Wind was…
Eufaula: Level: 1.8 feet below full pool. Temp: 51-57 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Eufaula guide Billy Darby says the bass should start moving up into the hydrilla to bed this month as water temps approach 60 degrees and warmer.

Clarks Hill: Level: 4.6 feet low. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Great. Look for fish to follow the ditches into shallower water.

Carters: Level: Fluctuating between full and just above full. Temp: 46-47 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Buddy Callahan at Bart’s Bait and Tackle said Carters had a good shad kill, but that action is winding down. “It’s taking 13 pounds to win, and a jig bite is as good as anything,” said Buddy. “You’ll still…
Burton: Level: 5.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: March is traditionally a great month on Burton, according to Daniel Workman. “This time of year, you need a crankbait, a jigging spoon and a worm,” he said. “The bass will be following the bait, which will be ganged up in big…
Blue Ridge: Level: 16.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: John Hembree said a No. 5 Shad Rap in Tennessee Shad is an excellent crankbait in March on Blue Ridge for both smallmouths and largemouths. “This time of year, I would stay out on rocky, main-lake points.” This is also the…
Blackshear: Level: Full pool. Temp: Low 50s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Slow. Cold weather in February kept most of the fish in deeper water, but as the prespawn progresses the bass will be moving up onto the first, deeper cypress trees and under docks in the creeks and along the main lake. Scott Holland says a…
