Blackshear: Level: Full pool. Temp: Mid to high 50s. Clarity: Dingy. Bass: Tough. Ernie Broughton held the year-ending Classic for his Blackshear Buddies Tournament Dec. 19, and conditions were terrible. “They were bringing water down that lake like you wouldn’t believe,” he said.

Bartletts Ferry: Level: 0.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 48-51 degrees. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Poor. “They’ve got the flood gates open, and the fishing is (not good),” said Dennis Hudson.

Allatoona: Level: 8.1 feet below full pool. Temp: 47-52 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Good. Matt Driver reports, “Think deeper, and think small when it comes to bait selection.

West Point: Level: 1.9 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 60s. Clarity: Heavily stained, but clearing. Bass: Good.

Tobesofkee: Level: Full pool. Temp: 64-66 degrees. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Fair.

Sinclair: Level: 0.2 feet below full. Temp: 59 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Fishing is fair, according to Eric Perkins. “Look for the crankbait bite to continue on in December,” said Eric. “Small crankbaits like a No. 5 and a No. 7 firetiger Shad Rap are hard to beat. Also the the Rat-L-Trap bite and the…
Seminole: Level: 0.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 63 degrees. Clarity: Muddy except for Spring Creek, which is clear. Bass: Good. Matt Baty reports, “There are two productive patterns working at this time. Fish a Spro Aruku Shad 75 in old glory or purple rain colors on main-lake flats with ditches nearby. The best flats…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Robert Barnett reports, “With cool winter months arriving, please do no think the saltwater fishing action is over.
