Fishing Reports
Blue Ridge: Level: 2.9 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 80s. Clarity: The main lake is clear. Bass: The fishing is slow, said mountain lake guide Nathan Stewart. “It is getting hot, and the fish are deep on the summer pattern. Your best bet is a drop-shot rig or a worm in deep brush. There…
Blackshear: Level: Down 0.1 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid to upper 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Bass fishing is tough right now, said Clint Brownlee. “If I was going tomorrow, I would start out in Parker’s Slough north of the Hwy 289 bridge and throw topwater around the grass beds — something like a frog…
Bartletts Ferry: Level: Down 0.3 below full pool. Temp: Approaching 90 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good, said Dennis Hudson, whose Tuesday evening tournaments are starting to draw quite a crowd. Out of 48 boats, an 11-lb. sack won the June 10 tournament, which had been averaging a 9-lb. winning sack. “The last couple of weeks,…
Allatoona: Level: Down 1 foot below full pool. Temp: 84 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair to good, with a topwater bite early and a deep-structure bite once the sun gets up. “We are ranging anywhere from 10 to 30 fish a day,” said guide Mike Bucca. “There is a halfway decent schooling bite bright and…
West Point: Level: Full pool. Temp: Low to mid 70s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tough, said Steve Holt who fished the recent BFL on West Point. He said it only took about 11 pounds to win the tournament in a big field. The most productive patterns were an early topwater bite for about the first hour…
Tobesofkee: Level: Full pool. Warning: Be careful of floating debris due to the recent tornadoes. Temp: 75-77 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Good, with bass moving out to their summertime patterns. “Look for fish in brushpiles on points and on humps,” said Clayton Batts. “These fish can be caught on a Carolina-rigged 6-inch Big Bite…
Sinclair: Level: Full pool. Temp: 74-80 degrees. Clarity: The rivers are slightly stained; down the lake is clear. Bass: Mike Cleveland said the bite is a little slow right now, but there are good things to come in June. “May on Sinclair — it’s always a tough period this time of year,” he said. He…
Seminole: Level: 0.6 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 70s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Great. Steve Holt said the bite is better than it’s been in a long time at Seminole. Thirty-three out of 75 boats brought in a limit at the recent Backwoods event on the lake. It took a 20-lb. sack to win it,…
Saltwater: Inshore: The trout and redfish are biting great, although strong currents have made fishing difficult the past few weeks. Traditionally, popping-cork rigs with live shrimp or artificial imitations work well on trout around shell beds, while redfish will take soft jerkbaits and other artificials on the mud flats and at the mouths of small…
Russell: Level: Down 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 70-72 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: There are some herring on the rip-rap rocks in the Hwy 72 area. First thing in the morning, try topwater like a Sammy or Rico, and if they won’t hit on top, throw a white spinnerbait. During the day, concentrate near…
