Fishing Reports
West Point: Level: 5.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 52-53 degrees. Clarity: Clear to light stain. Bass: Good. Bass are moving into a prespawn stage, said guide Paul Parsons. Look for them to start moving onto main-lake points, where small crankbaits will catch them. He suggested a Bandit or a No. 7 Shad Rap. “If…
Weiss: Level: 3.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 48 degrees. Clarity: Main lake is stained. Bass: Warren Barnes said he caught largemouths a week ago halfway back in the creeks by throwing a double Colorado, chartreuse-and-white spinnerbait around any wood cover. The bass have moved back into the coves and cuts looking for slightly warmer…
Sinclair: Level: 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 53-58 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Good, according to tournament angler and guide Barry Stokes who gave his report from the lake while practicing for a late-February BFL tournament on Sinclair. At the first spot he and his co-angler hit that morning, a five to eight foot…
Seminole: Level: 0.3 feet above full pool. Temp.: 57 degrees. Clarity: Partially stained. Bass: Fair, said Seminole guide Troy Arthur, who said they are starting to spot a few first-wave bass on the beds. “The majority of fish are still in the deep water in the creek channels. They’re still feeding on shad,” he said.…
Inshore: The trout fishing has slowed down with all the cold weather we have been having, according to Capt. Greg Hildreth. “The trout that are being caught have moved into the deeper holes in 12 to 20 feet and are being taken with boot-tail minnows and lead heads. The most productive colors have been the…
Russell: Level: Down 0.3 feet below full pool. Temp: 48-50 degrees. Clarity: Mostly clear. Bass: Slow for largemouths. After a warm spell, look for shad in the backs of the creeks, and fish spinnerbaits and small crankbaits. When the water temperatures hold above 56 degrees, look for schools of bass to move up on the…
Oconee: Level: Full pool. Temp: 49-50 degrees. Clarity: Stained except south near the dam and Richland Creek. Bass: Tough. Most of the bass are still deep, or they’re in between deep and shallow. There was a good bite at 20 to 30 feet deep on jigging spoons and jig-head finesse worms, but warmer weather means…
Nottely: Level: 15.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 45 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Slow. Dwight Dilbeck was on the lake Saturday, February 24, and in a half day of fishing they zeroed on both bass and stripers. “We tried everything and didn’t get a bite,” said Dwight. Things that usually work this time of year,…
Lanier: Level: Down 5.2 feet below full pool. Temps: 44-48 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Spotted Bass: Fair as fish are scattered — some big spots are still in the deep timber, but in general they’re going to make a quick move to the points at the mouths of spawning pockets and into the pockets. March is…
Jackson: Level: 3.8 feet low. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Great. Aaron Batson had five on Monday that went 21 pounds. “We only had six keepers,” said Aaron. “We were primarily flipping jigs on rocks in eight to 10 feet of water. It had to be close to deep water.” Aaron was fishing a…
