Carters: Level: 5 feet low. Temp: 76 degrees. Clarity: 6 feet. Bass: Guide Louie Bartenfield reports, “Spotted bass are starting to spread out from main-lake humps and points closer to creek mouths and channel swings. Expect lots of surface schooling throughout the day as we move into fall. Flukes and topwater baits like Pop-Rs and…
Alright kids, the picture to the right came across my desk the other day, and it was way too weird not to share with you. It’s a trail-camera picture of a doe that appears to have swollen cheeks. To me, she looks like she has huge wads of bubblegum in both sides of her mouth.…
Sinclair: Level: 0.9 feet low. Temp: Water temps have dropped into the 70s after the last tropical storm and cool morning temps. Clarity: Above the railroad trestle is heavily stained, and you will find various levels of stain in the backs of most pockets. The south end is clear right now, but that may change…
Lanier: Level: Full pool. Temp: Mid 70s and steadily dropping. Clarity: The main lake is clear, and the creeks are only slightly stained. Bass: Guide Ryan Coleman reports, “Fishing is excellent right now on Lanier. The fish are up on humps and points and feeding very well. There is still a great topwater bite right…
The story of Roman began last season when I purchased a property in Baker County. He showed up on my first camera run. His large “Roman” nose feature immediately earned him the name. Last year I estimated that he was at least 5 1/2 years old and approximately 140 inches as an 8-pointer. All season…
Allatoona: Level: 0.3 feet below full. Temp: 76 degrees. Clarity: 5 feet. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “The month of October is amazing on Lake Allatoona. This is a month where the shad begin to migrate into the creeks, and the feeding frenzy begins. Early morning and late afternoon the buzzbait bite is phenomenal.…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “I consider the month of October as being one of the best fishing months since fish are in full migration mode. With water temperatures on the fall, the redfish, spotted seatrout and flounder bites gets more predictable. Places where you caught them last year most likely will be great places…
Boater Joshua Rockefeller, of Harlem, brought a two-day total of nine bass to the scale weighing 21 pounds even to win the Phoenix Bass Fishing League presented by T-H Marine South Carolina Division Super-Tournament at Clarks Hill Lake. For his victory, Rockefeller earned $4,668. “I caught them frogging,” says Rockefeller, who earned his first career Bass Fishing League…
Hartwell: Level: Full pool. Temp: Mid 70s. Clarity: The main lake has that turnover look, and the creeks are stained. Bass: Tournament angler Kerry Partain reports, “The bass fishing was already tough on Hartwell, and to make matters worse, with all the rain and cool weather, it is turning over. That being said, it cooled…
Eufaula: Level: 1.7 feet below 190 full pool. Temp: Low 80s. Clarity: Stained to slightly muddy in some creeks. Bass: Tournament angler Les Bratcher, of Big Bite Baits, reports, “The water at Eufaula was steadily on the fall for repairs on the dam. With that being said, the fishing on the lake right now is…
