Fishing Reports
Chatuge: Level: Full pool. Temp: 79-81 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “I’m starting the morning out throwing a Strike King Sexy Dawg, a Cane Walker and a Whopper Plopper around flats, humps and off main-lake points. After this topwater bite slows up, I will start fishing a swimbait and shaky head around docks for a couple of…
Carters: Level: Full pool. Temp:80-84 degrees. Clarity:5 to 7 feet. Bass: Guide Bill Payne reports, “I think the spotted bass actually started summer a little early because we’ve been catching them in their summer haunts for a few weeks now. I’ve been keying on the deeper break lines in the 18- to 35-foot range. Of course, it’s much…
Burton: Level: Full. Temp: 82 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Guide Wes Carlton reports, “The bass bite has been consistent lately with most of the fish holding on a 25- to 35-foot bottom in and around brush. Drop-shotting seems to be the best technique. Roboworms in morning dawn color has been the best combination. Try locating fish on a fish finder. Lock…
Blue Ridge: Level: Full Pool. Temp: 79-81 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “There has been some topwater action happening first thing in the morning around flats, humps and pockets off the main lake. If we have a clear night, the blueback herring will feed, and the bass will have them pushed into these areas. Watch for them to…
Bartletts Ferry: Level: 0.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 80 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Tournament director and competitor Dennis Hudson reports, “The bass fishing has been a little slow. Something to look for that will produce some bass is the mayflies that are hatching all over the lake this time of year. This usually…
Allatoona: Level: Full pool. Temp: 83-85 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “Fishing on Lake Allatoona in July is good with slightly lower temps this year.

West Point: Level: 0.7 feet above full pool. Temp: Low 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Guide Keith Hudson reports, With the lake still close to full pool so far this summer after the June rains, topwater baits such as Spro frogs, Chug Bugs, Whopper Ploppers, Senkos and buzzbaits can still be effective, especially around bream beds…
Weiss: Level: 0.1 feet low. Temp: Low 80s. Clarity: Moderate stain. Bass: Guide and tournament angler Mike Carter reports, “The fish on Weiss have moved to their deeper haunts along the creek and river channels to escape the hot temperatures in the shallow areas. This time of year, start out in the mornings along seawalls and…
Sinclair: Level: 1.1 feet low. Temp: 78-90 degrees. Clarity: 2 to 4 feet. Bass: Good. Tournament angler Mark Denney Jr. reports, “The morning bite is crucial with the sun getting up very early during the summer months. Covering water with a buzzbait seems to generate a majority of the quality bites and helps pick off a few active fish…
Seminole: Level: 0.3 feet below full. Temp: 84-86 degrees. Clarity: Clear in the grassy areas and slightly stained in areas where the grass has not come back yet from Hurricane Michael. Bass: Guide Paul Tyre reports, “The bass fishing on Lake Seminole has been incredible this June, taking between 25 and 30 plus pounds to win derbies on the lake.…
