Lake Nottely Fishing Report – August 2018

Nottely: Level: 1.2 feet above full pool. Temp: 85 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Stripers: Guide Jeremy Seabolt reports, “The fish are finally starting to school up. We have been fishing 30- to 70-foot deep humps off the river channel. We have been downlining herring once we find the school. You have to stay on top of them. They move fast, so keep an eye on your Lowrance. The u-rig bite has started getting good. We’ve been catching fish pulling them 120 to 140 feet back. The fish have all been holding on the river channel on long points and humps. Going into August, we well be fishing the same as we are now, just a little bit deeper, and the downline bite should be at its best by the time this hits the mailbox. August is one my favorite months to fish. The fish are in big schools, and we catch good numbers.”
