Fishing Reports
As an outdoor writer, I’ve spent a lot of time on the water with some really good tournament anglers. The guys I’ve fished with are usually at the top of their field in regional or state levels, but none of them fish for a living. When I saw that the B.A.S.S. Elite Series was coming…
Seminole: Level: 1.1 feet above full pool. Temp: Low 70s. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Good. Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “Lake Seminole is high, fast and muddy! The fish are hard to catch right now, but the best way to do so is to fish super shallow water in backwater areas with a frog or a…
Seminole: Level: 0.9 feet above full pool. Temp: 62 degrees. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Good. Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “The bass are in two stages right now, either prespawn or spawn. The prespawn fish are still staging near spawning flats and mouths of spawning coves. These prespawners can be picked off with shallow-running crankbaits such…
Seminole: Level: 0.6 feet above full pool. Temp: 60 degrees. Clarity: Muddy. Bass: Excellent. Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “Bass fishing is tremendous right now. It has been taking phenomenal bags to win most tournaments. The record for a five-bass limit in a bass tournament was just broken over the weekend with a five-bass limit…
A profound sorrow hangs heavy across a series of tight-knit communities in southwest Georgia after the tragic loss of a popular high-school junior who drowned while duck hunting on Lake Seminole. Southwest Georgia Academy multi-sport athlete Matthew Jernigan, 17, drowned on the morning of Jan. 7 after the boat carrying him and classmates Payson Trawick…
Seminole: Level: 0.5 feet below full pool. Temp: Upper 40s to low 50s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “There were eight 20-lb. sacks weighed-in during the most recent tournament on the lake. The bass are biting, and they are surprisingly shallow with the cold weather. The best areas to target are…
Seminole: Level: 0.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 57 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Excellent. Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “The bass are biting good on Seminole. They are fattening up for the winter and can already be caught in many of their prespawn places. Look for the mouths of spawning areas such as Fish Pond…
Seminole: Level: 0.8 feet below full pool. Temperature: 72 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Baty reports, “Slow. There has been entirely too much pressure on the lake. There have been at least three tournaments in the past three weeks with 75-100 boats. The fish have simply been beat too much. The recent…
Four Decatur County residents made Georgia history on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013. Dr. Daniel White, Alex “Bud” Harrell, Gary Braswell and tag-holder Jim Overman bagged a new state-record alligator from Lake Seminole. The 13-foot, 10-3/4-inch monster broke the previous record from 2010 by 1 3/4 inches. What started out as a teal scouting trip for…
Seminole: Level: 0.5 feet below full pool. Temp. 82 degrees. Clarity: Sight stain. Bass: Guide Matt Baty reports, “Lake Seminole is falling, and the current is slowing down. The fishing seems to be getting somewhat tougher. The shallow grass bite is really the way to go right now, so don’t be afraid to fish in…
