Fishing Reports
Seminole: Level: 0.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 74 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “The bass are somewhat slow as of right now but should really start picking up with the cooler weather. There is still a bunch of grass all over the lake, and the best bite is fishing in…
Saltwater: Inshore: 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. The secret to catching more inshore fish during this time is to use live shrimp as bait. All fish like shrimp, because…
Russell: Level: 8.8 feet below full pool. Temp: 70-72 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Kerry Partain reports, “Fishing is good. The spotted bass are really biting with an occasional largemouth mixed in.

Oconee: Level: Full pool. Temp: 66-70 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Tournament angler Aaron Batson reports, “Bass fishing is good. Major schools of large threadfin shad have made their fall migration into the creeks, and the bass are with them. Covering water with moving baits to find these schools is the best way to load…
Lanier: Level: 8.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 60s. Clarity: Clear. Largemouth: Tournament angler Billy Boothe reports, “It’s still typical fall fishing right now. Main river flats and the backs of creeks are both producing well. I’m catching some good fish early on a white Mann’s spinnerbait slow-rolled around shallow rocky banks and points…
Jackson: Level: Full pool. Temp: 70s. Clarity: Clear in the main lake and a slight stain in the rivers. Bass: Tournament angler Eric Perkins reports, “Fishing has been pretty tough here lately.

Hartwell: Level: 13.5 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 70s. Clarity: Mostly clear. Bass: Guide Brad Fowler reports, “A lot of fish will be following the baitfish to the creeks. With low water conditions, a lot of bait and fish will stay around the mouths of the creeks. With cover being scarce due to low…
Eufaula: Level: 2.9 feet below full pool. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: Lightly stained to clear. Bass: Good. Capt. Sam Williams reports, “The jig bite is on. Hunt any type of cover, and you will find fish. The shallow bite remains good early and late. The sunrise brings on a good topwater bite. The water level…
Clarks Hill: Level: 13.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 60s to 70. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide and tournament angler Dale Gibbs reports, “Good for numbers, but the quality bass are still out suspended. It’s taking small weights to win the big tournaments, only 12 to 13 pounds. You can catch lots of numbers right…
Chatuge: Level: 5.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 67 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “The fish are scattered. We’ve been catching them first thing in the morning on Spooks and jerkbaits. Once the sun gets up, we go to drop shotting on points and ledges in 12 to 30 feet of water.…
