Bass Fishing
Lake Seminole is far enough south that the fall feeding spree you enjoyed up north in October and early November is still in full swing this month.

Parker Guy teamed up with Tyler Campbell to represent Emmanuel College in the Georgia Bass Nation state championship that was held on Lake Lanier Oct. 8. They won with five bass weighing 17.58 pounds and had big fish with a 4.49-lb. spotted bass. Their weight beat out 17 other college teams, and the win earned them…
Fall is in full swing now, and we’re quickly making our way toward winter. The bait is plentiful and shallow. The backs of the pockets, bays and creeks are loaded with shad, and so the bass have plenty to choose from when dinner time comes. During this time of the year, you’ll need to swap…

Three years ago, Parker Guy was a junior at Irwin County High School and was named a BASS High School All American. He was featured in the June 2020 GON Map of the Month article on Eufaula and was on the cover with a pretty 7-pounder he caught there. After his stellar high-school fishing accomplishments,…
At times, Lake Eufaula bass seem a bit confused in September. You can catch them from shoreline grassbeds, and on the same trip you can catch some bass 30 feet deep on ledges, so it can be confusing to try to figure out a consistent pattern. You will have to try a variety of things…
