Fishing Reports
Chatuge: Level: 6 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 40s to low 50s. Clarity: Lightly stained, but the lake should clear up very quickly if there aren’t any more rains. Bass: Slow. “Things are pretty dead right now,” said Charlie Baldwin. “I haven’t even seen any boats out on the lake.” Charlie said your best…
Carters: Level: 3.5 feet above full pool. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Crystal clear. Bass: Good. Mike Bucca reports, “The fishing on Carters is outstanding for quality. The last two weeks I have been averaging a 4-lb. or better spot on every trip with some even bigger fish in the mix and sometimes even multiple 4-lb.…
Burton: Level: 5 feet below full pool. Temp: 49 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. They are dropping the bottom out of Burton, and within the next few weeks Murray’s Cove ramp will be the only access point. Spotted Bass: Slow. Wes Carlton said it’s slow, but you can catch a few spots on main-lake points in…
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. With just 4-lbs., 1-oz., Jerry Gray and Ray Milling brought their season…
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. That was the report from his most-recent tournament, but before that a few fish were being caught. “I was a good guide,” Dennis said. “I’ve…
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. Jerkbaits on main-lake points are always a mainstay during the winter months. A small, deeper-running jerkbait such as a Jackall DD Squirrel is a good choice. Colors…
West Point: Level: 1.9 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 60s. Clarity: Heavily stained, but clearing. Bass: Good. Micah Frazier said the largemouths should be up shallow following the shad and busting bait in the backs of the pockets. He said now is a good time to target them with numerous baits, from shallow-running crankbaits…
Weiss: Level: 1.6 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 50s to low 60s. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Good. Warren Barnes reports, “All the recent heavy rains, muddy water and warm weather have the bass biting.

Tobesofkee: Level: Full pool. Temp: 64-66 degrees. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Fair. Clayton Batts reports, “The bite is tough with the water being so muddy, but the bass have followed the bait to the backs of the pockets. Throw a white/chartreuse or all chartreuse spinnerbait with double Colorado blades or an Aruku Shad Jr. in chrome/blue…
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…
