Fishing Reports
Chatuge: Level: 2.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 85 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Eric Welch, of Reel Job Fishing, reports, “You can find some fish shallow, but for the most part the spots are on deep brush in 20 to 30 feet. A couple weeks ago, I caught an 8-lb., 7-oz. largemouth in 6…
Carters: Level: 0.1 feet above below pool. Temp: High 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fish should begin pulling into the creek mouths and working their way back into the creeks. Look for the big move once water temperatures fall into the 70s. September is a good month to throw small crankbaits, like a Bandit 100 in…
Burton: Level: Full pool. Temp: 84 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Spotted Bass: A little slow, said Wes Carlton. He’s been catching some fish on deep rocky bottoms from 19 feet all the way into the 50-foot depths on blue Roboworms on drop shots, Fish-Head Spins threaded with a white fluke and Texas-rigged finesse worms. Largemouths: Wes…
Blue Ridge: Level: 31 feet below full pool. Temp: 84-88 degrees. Clarity: Varies with the extremely low lake level. “There are no open ramps on Blue Ridge,” said Eric Welch, of Reel Job Fishing. “The only place you can put in is at Morganton Point, where you’ll need a 4×4. And then be prepared to…
Bartletts Ferry: Level: Full pool. Temp: High 80s to low 90s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Dennis Hudson said the bite is still fair at best. There have been some pretty good fish in the 4 1/2- to 5-lb. range caught in his weekly tournaments, but the numbers are off. These better fish are starting to…
Allatoona: Level: 1.1 feet below full pool. Temp: High 80s to low 90s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tough. Mike Bucca reports, “Fishing is fairly tough for spots. If you can choose between fishing at night and during the day, fish at night. Your best bet is to fish brush. More specifically, fresh brush. Drop shots, underspins…
West Point: Level: 0.2 feet below full pool. Temp: High 80s. Clarity: Clear on the main lake; stained up the creeks and up the Chattahoochee. Bass: Fair. Micah Frazier said bass will be holding on deep structure like rock piles and brush on the ledges, roadbeds and humps. Fish hard until you find the bass,…
Weiss: Level: 0.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 89 degrees. Clarity: Lightly stained. Bass: Very good. Guide Warren Barnes reports, “Largemouths and spotted bass are still up on the flats early and are being caught on all types of topwater baits. The best producers are hard baits like the Jackall Bonnie or the Mud Sucker.…
Tobesofkee: Level: 0.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 90-92 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Clayton Batts reports, “Bass fishing has been tough with all the hot weather and boat traffic, and it probably will not get any better next month. The best bite has come during low-light hours and at night. Fish a Spro Hydro…
Sinclair: Level: 0.7 feet below full pool. Temp: High 80s to low 90s. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Good. Kim Carver said there’s a good bite for numbers on Sinclair.
