Bartletts Ferry Fishing Report – March 2025

Bartletts Ferry: Level: 0.7 feet below 521. Temp: 47-51 degrees. Clarity: Stained.

Bass: Tournament angler Tyler Morgan, with Summerland Outdoors, was fishing with Adam Byrd and won the first Backwaters Bass Tournament of the year the last Sunday in February with 15.6 pounds. Those fish are moving into pockets and coves to spawn. Tyler starts in the mouths of the pockets fishing quickly to halfway back with a bladed jig, then fishes all wood cover toward the backs of the pockets. Skip a weightless Senko to all wood you can see. Docks, blowdowns and stumps are all good as shallow as 2 feet deep. Always keep a buzzbait ready, Adam caught a 2.5-pounder in 50-degree water in the Backwaters tournament. Tyler says he has a lot of confidence in getting a big buzzbait bite as soon as the water gets above 60 degrees. Fish pockets on the lower lake and in Halawakee Creek rather than the river since they warm earlier.
