Fishing Reports
Blue Ridge: Level: 6.4 feet over 1681. Temp: 83 degrees. Clarity: 12 feet. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “The bite has been fair. Once we get past Labor Day weekend, everything should start getting back to normal. TVA will start lowering the lake for winter pool, and hopefully we will start seeing cooler weather. This means…
Blackshear: Level: Full pool. Temp: Mid to high 80s. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Tournament angler Jonathan Martin reports, “This time of year I like to concentrate around the mouths of creeks watching for schooling fish busting shad on the surface. As summer moves into fall, the bass should follow the shad into the creeks, but this…
Allatoona: Level: Full pool. Temp: 82 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “The September fishing will not change much from the August report this year. August was a surprisingly good month. Historically, September has been a roller-coaster ride for fishing with some really great days and some days that are really tough.…
Lanier: Level: 1.7 feet above full. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Jimbo, from Jimbo’s Lake Lanier Spotted Bass Guide Service, reports, “Before we talk fishing, I hope that you will all join me in thanking Ryan Coleman for his dedication to this role for many years. He has served our Lake Lanier community well,…
Oconee: Level: 0.5 feet low. Temp: Mid to upper 80s. Clarity: Mostly clear from Sugar Creek to the dam. There is some stain in the backs of some pockets, and there is a heavy stain up both rivers.

West Point: Level: 0.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Clear down the lake. Bass: Fair. Guide Keith Hudson reports, “During September, expect the shallow bite to slowly improve, especially if we get a lot of rain or a little cooler temps. Shallow-water baits such as unweighted Trick Worms, flukes, Senkos, buzzbaits and…
Weiss: Level: 0.1 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Moderate stain. Bass: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Bass fishing is fair. The bass are still on a summer pattern on main-lake points, roadbeds and the creek and river channels. Shad-pattern crankbaits and Carolina rigs are working well. Slow-rolling a spinnerbait is also working.” Crappie:…
Seminole: Level: 0.3 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 80s to low 90s. Clarity: Light stain in the Flint and Chattahoochee; Spring Creek is clear.

Burton: Level: Full pool. Temp: 82 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Capt. Wes Carlton reports, “The bass bite has been decent the last week or so. We have not been catching a lot of numbers but have been catching some quality fish. Drop-shotting Roboworms in brush and grass seems to be the ticket. Most of the…
Bartletts Ferry: Level: 1 foot below full pool. Temp: Upper 80s. Clarity: Mostly clear. Bass: The bite has been slow, but anglers can work up some bites on shaky-head worms fished on brushpiles in 8 to 14 feet of water. Concentrate on brush on secondary points and docks that are close to deep water. First…
