Fishing Reports
Chatuge: Level: 0.3 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “The Chatuge bass fishing has been fair. The topwater bite has still been scattered. They have just not been pushing the bait around like they did this time last year. I’m still casting a Strike King Sexy Dawg…
Carters: Level: 2.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 83-85 degrees. Clarity: Clear; visibility of 5 to 7 feet. Bass: Capt. Eric Crowley reports, “The spots have been up feeding on schools of fry bait all over the lake. It seems like every school of bait has a couple of bass right below it. Long casts…
Burton: Level: Full pool. Temp: 83 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Wes Carlton reports, “The bass have finally worked into a summer pattern. These fish are hanging in the 20- to 30-foot depths. Drop-shooting a Robo Worm (morning-dawn color) has been very effective for us. Try working grass flats in the backs of creeks. We…
Blue Ridge: Level: 4.8 feet above full pool. Temp: 83 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Crowley reports, “Pretty standard summer pattern for this lake. Spots and largemouth seem to be holding in 25 to 40 feet of water upriver on submerged structure like roadbeds, rocky points, fish attractors and bends. They are holding tight to…
Bartletts Ferry: Level: 1 foot below full pool. Temp: 84-86 degrees. Clarity: Creeks have a good stain; river is clear. Bass: Tournament director Dennis Hudson reports, “My advice is to go early. You can catch a few bass at daylight on topwater on a Spro Poppin Frog, but it doesn’t last long. I caught four…
Allatoona: Level: 0.3 feet below full pool. Temp: 84-85 degrees. Clarity: Visibility 6 feet. Linesides: Guide Robert Eidson reports, “Allatoona lineside fishing is great! The full moon phase has passed, and the bite is back on. The downline bite is nothing short of incredible. The south end of the lake is the place to be…
West Point: Level: 0.5 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Slow. Guide Keith Hudson reports, “It’s a typical summertime pattern. Some largemouth are starting to show up on deeper brushpiles and roadbeds as the water warms. Try deep-diving crankbaits or Texas-rigged Ol’ Monster worms. The best fishing is around brushpiles in…
Weiss: Level: Full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Moderately stained. Bass: Capt. Mike Carter reports, “The summertime pattern on Lake Weiss is in full swing, and this lake can show you just how tough it can get this time of year. Covering lots of grassbeds early morning and late evening with Snag Proof Frogs and…
Sinclair: Level: 0.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Some stain. Linesides: Guide Doug Nelms reports, “The water should heat up from 85 to as high as 90 degrees this month, which means there will be lots of fish in the tailrace at Wallace Dam. The Sassy Shad is by far the best…
Seminole: Level: 0.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 83-85 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Guide Aaron Crews reports, “Try a black-and-blue craw with a 3/4- to 1-oz. weight when flipping. Utilize a Jethro Baits Stopit to secure the weight. Crank a shad-pattern Strike King 10XD in ditches, and also try a Popping Frog or a Buzzing…
