Fishing Reports
Where next? Anglers have to be wondering as two more significant fish-kills have occurred in Georgia, on Brier Creek in Burke County and Commissioner Creek in Wilkinson County. As fish were dying in these two creeks, state officials finally concluded an investigation of the worst fish-kill in state history. In May, the Ogeechee was devastated…
West Point: Level: 10.5 feet below full pool. Temp: Around 70 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Good. Chris Bell reports, “Fishing has continued to pick up with the recent cooler temperatures.

Weiss: Level: 2.3 feet below full pool. Temp: 62-70 degrees. Clarity: Clear to stained. Bass: Good. Warren Barnes reports, “Bass are feeding heavily all over the lake in preparation for the colder months. The shad are grouped up, and the bass are feeding on them. The early topwater buzzbait bite is still working around the…
Tobesofkee: Temp: High 60s. Bass: Fair. Clayton Batts reports, “Bass have moved back into the pockets following the bait. Fish a Spro Araku Shad Jr. in chrome/blue in the middle of the pockets where bait is present and a Stanford Lures Patriot Shad in summer shad around docks and seawalls that lead back into the…
Sinclair: Level: 1.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 60s. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Good. Aaron Batson reports, “Baitfish have moved to the very backs of creeks and coves.

Seminole: Level: 1.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Matt Baty reports, “The bass on Seminole have been a little frustrating to figure out lately.

Saltwater: Inshore: Excellent. Capt. Greg Hildreth reports, “The nearshore fishing for the bull redfish is very good now and should last until mid to late November. I am getting these fish on the bars and shoals around St. Simons and Jekyll Island. The bait of choice is a live pogy, but they are getting harder…
Rabun: Level: 1.8 feet below full pool. Temp: 57 to 64 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Walleye: Good. Guide Wes Carlton said there’s a good consistent walleye bite on Rabun right now. He had a 9-fish day recently, including an 8 1/4-pounder. He said early in the morning the fish will be up shallow feeding in and…
Oconee: Level: 3 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 60s. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Good. Aaron Batson reports, “Baitfish continue to remain in the very backs of coves and creeks. Rat-L-Traps and spinnerbaits are hard to beat. Later in the month, as the weather cools and bait moves back out, use the same baits on…
Nottely: Level: 9.7 foot below full pool. Temp: 63-65 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Eric Welch, of Reel Job Fishing, reports, “We’re catching fish all over the lake.
