In fact, he’s seeing some things in mid-June that he’s never seen before. “I’m actually seeing herring and other baitfish spawning,” Jimbo told GON. “I…
Seminole: Level: 0.2 feet below 77.5. Temp: 83-86 degrees. Clarity: Clear to lightly stained.

Level: 0.4 feet above 840. Temp: mid 70s. Clarity: Clear Bass: Matt Driver said the water temps on Allatoona are about two weeks behind.

Capt. Mark Noble reports. “The Strawberry Moon has tides higher than normal, but they are not too terribly bad.

The rivers are getting good in some areas, but some are still…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “May has been an interesting fishing month. Redfish, trout, black drum and whiting have been biting.

Temp: 74-80 degrees. Clarity: 5 feet. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “To me, it seems like the water temperature is a little slow to warm compared to most years in the past, likely due to rain and a few cold fronts. We’re now at the tail end of the shad spawn. The bass are on…
