Sinclair: Level: 1.7 feet below full pool. Temperature: 65-70 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Tournament angler Aaron Batson reports, “Bass fishing has been tough.

Seminole: Level: 0.8 feet below full pool. Temperature: 72 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “Slow. There has been entirely too much pressure on the lake.

Saltwater: Inshore: Guide Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “When the month of November rolls around, the inshore bite certainly does pick up for what is called the Savannah Slam—redfish, spotted sea trout and flounder.

Clarks Hill: Level: 1.1 feet below full pool. Temperature: 68-72 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Jon Hair reports, “The bite is still shallow on buzzbaits, Zoom Trick Worms (merthiolate) and spinnerbaits. As the water cools, the fish will move deeper and get in hydrilla.
