Fishing Reports
Bartletts Ferry: Level: 0.4 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 70s. Clarity: Some stain after big rains. Bass: Tournament director and competitor Dennis Hudson reports, “The bass spawn is in full swing with the full moon. The next few weeks should be a good time for beating the banks. Late spawners and fry guarders can…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “With the month of May here, the fish bite is more dependable and predictable. By this time the spotted sea trout bite is joined up with the flounder bite, meaning two types of fish for one type of bait. As always, live shrimp under an adjustable float or popping cork works like a…
Chatuge: Level: 1 foot above full. Temp: 66-68 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “Most the fish are about done spawning. There are a few late spawners hanging around in the pockets and creeks. Try throwing a Strike King 3.75 Rage Swimmer along with a wacky-rigged Senko. There are a lot of spotted bass hanging out around…
Weiss: Level: 0.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 68-70 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Guide and tournament pro Mike Carter reports, “Weiss Lake has been extremely up and down recently with constant changing of weather and water conditions, and with this it’s created some difficult and inconsistent bass fishing during a time when this lake is usually…
West Point: Level: 2.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 72 degrees. Clarity: Stained up the lake. Bass: Good. Guide Keith Hudson reports, “After the high muddy water in late April, expect the shallow water fishing to remain good as the lake clears but still has a little color to it. Largemouth are being caught on several different…
Jackson: Level: Full. Temp: 69-73 degrees. Clarity: From clear to stained. Bass: Tournament angler Brian Lee reports, “The spawn is winding down, with a few bass still spawning. Secondary and primary points will have feeding bass on them as they feed up before moving on to their summer hideaways. Topwater early morning will be the ticket, but be prepared to…
Carters: Level: Full. Temp: 67-70 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Bill Payne reports, “Fishing as of late has been very good. The spotted bass are shallow and are in spawn and postspawn situations. Shaky heads, Ned rigs, wacky rigs and Neko rigs are all working right now and should be a solid choice throughout the coming weeks. Also, the topwater…
Blackshear: Level: 0.1 feet low. Temp: 75 degrees. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Brad McDaniel with Flint River Outdoors reports, “Bass are mostly postspawn and are mostly being caught on dark plastics, ChatterBaits, swimbaits and spinnerbaits.” Bream: Brad McDaniel with Flint River Outdoors reports, “This bite was very late coming on this spring but is wide open now. They are being caught shallow around the…
Seminole: Level: Full. Temp: Upper 60s to mid 70s. Clarity: Slightly stained. Bass: Guide Aaron Crews reports, “The bass are in postspawn mode on most of the lake with the sandbar bass on the main lake just finishing bedding as they are the last bass to bed on the lake. Smoking purple is a good color of worm to throw…
Sinclair: Level: 1.6 feet low. Temp: Low to mid 70s. Clarity: Stained. Bass: The bass are still recovering from the spawn, according to tournament angler John Duvall.
