Seminole: Level: 0.7 feet low. Temp: Low to mid 80s. Clarity: Clear to slightly stained. Bass: Guide Aaron Crews reports, “Bass fishing has been slow but should pick up with the cooler weather of fall. The shad will school up with the decreasing temperatures.

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “I consider October as being one of the best fishing months for both fish and fishermen.

Places where you caught…

Hartwell: Level: Full pool.Temp: Low 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Kerry Partain reports, “Bass fishing is still tough right now with the hot weather keeping the water temperatures warmer than usual for this time of year.
