Fishing Reports
Carters: Level: Fluctuating between full and just above full. Temp: 46-47 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Buddy Callahan at Bart’s Bait and Tackle said Carters had a good shad kill, but that action is winding down. “It’s taking 13 pounds to win, and a jig bite is as good as anything,” said Buddy. “You’ll still…
Burton: Level: 5.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: March is traditionally a great month on Burton, according to Daniel Workman. “This time of year, you need a crankbait, a jigging spoon and a worm,” he said. “The bass will be following the bait, which will be ganged up in big…
Blue Ridge: Level: 16.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: John Hembree said a No. 5 Shad Rap in Tennessee Shad is an excellent crankbait in March on Blue Ridge for both smallmouths and largemouths. “This time of year, I would stay out on rocky, main-lake points.” This is also the…
Blackshear: Level: Full pool. Temp: Low 50s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Slow. Cold weather in February kept most of the fish in deeper water, but as the prespawn progresses the bass will be moving up onto the first, deeper cypress trees and under docks in the creeks and along the main lake. Scott Holland says a…
Bartletts Ferry: Level: Down 0.9 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 50s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair, but March is usually a great month on Bartletts.

Allatoona: Level: Down 11.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 44-47 degrees. Clarity: Mostly clear.

West Point: Level: 5.5 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 40s. Clarity: The backs of the creeks are stained. Bass: Slow. James Scoggin was on the lake Saturday, January 27 and said it was tough. James doesn’t look for much improvement, either, until the water warms up. “We caught a few fish on spoons, jigs…
Weiss: Level: 4.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 48 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Slow. A January 27 tournament out of J.R.’s was reportedly won with six pounds, and many anglers pulled out and left early. According to Weiss guide Mark Collins, the bass are still deep, hanging on the river ledges in Little River and…
Sinclair: Level: 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 49-50 degrees. Clarity: Muddy at Little River, light stain on the main lake. Bass: Slow. Tournament fisherman Mike Blackshear said the late-January cold front made the fishing tough on Sinclair. “After they’ve been in it a while, they’ll get used to it, and you’ll start catching ’em,”…
Seminole: Level: Full pool. Temp: 52 degrees. Clarity: Muddy in the rivers, light stain in main lake. Bass: Slow. “The bass fishing over there is tough — about as tough as I’ve seen it,” said Butch Tucker. “The high water over the last few weeks and the cold front have gotten the fish confused, and…
