Lake Chatuge Fishing Report June 2014

Chatuge: Level: Full pool. Temp: 69-72 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “There has been some topwater action at first light. Keep a Sammy or fluke tied on for the breaking fish. There has also been a fluke bite in the mornings around brush and docks. For numbers, throw a drop shot with a Roboworm 4.5 morning and dawn. For bigger fish, I like a shaky head with a Zoom Trick Worm and a 5/16-oz. pb&j-colored jig. If the wind picks up good, throw a 1/2-oz. white spinnerbait. The fish will start moving deeper this month with the lake temp rising and the boat traffic, so start looking for deep brush off points and in pockets.”
