Fishing Reports
Clarks Hill: Level: 5.8 feet below full. Temp: 55-58 degrees. Clarity: The water is stained in the creeks and rivers and mostly clear on the main lake. Bass: Tournament angler Josh Rockefeller reports, “Clarks Hill is starting to rise again after the weekly rain, and this is helping the bite up shallow. Running points toward…
Hartwell: Level: 4.3 feet low. Temp: 60 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Kerry Partain reports, “The bass are starting to stack up in creeks, ditches and major pockets, so the rest of November and December should be a good time to load the boat. With the water temperature getting close to hitting the 50s,…
Allatoona: Level: 9 feet low. Temp: 70 degrees around the dam and 62 degrees up the rivers. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good.

Blackshear: Level: Full pool. Temp: 69 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Various Species: Brad McDaniel at Flint River Outdoors reports, “Crappie are being caught many ways, but the best deal is about 20-foot-deep brushpiles with minnows. Catfish—channels and flatheads—are being caught in good numbers. For the smaller, eating-size channels, worms are your best bet. For big flatheads, goldfish…
Carters: Level: 0.6 feet low. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: 8 feet. Bass: Good.

Burton: Level: Full pool. Temp: 69 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Capt. Wes Carlton reports, “The bass bite has been good the last couple of days.

Chatuge: Level: 5.5 feet low. Temp: 64-66 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “If it’s not a windy day, there has been some fish breaking. Most of our fish has been coming on drop shot with 4.5-inch morning-dawn worm and a shaky head with a 6.5-inch Strike King finesse green-pumpkin worm. We’ve been…
Clarks Hill: Level: 5.8 feet low. Temp: Low 70s. Clarity: This is the time of year when the lake is turning over and that makes the water cloudy. Bass: Tournament angler Josh Rockefeller reports, “Fish are still schooling on the main lake and are on the move to the backs of the creeks as November…
Eufaula: Level: 1.2 feet below 190 full pool. Temp: High 70s. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Guide Sam Williams reports, “The latest shad hatch has the fish holding near the cover.
