Fishing
Sinclair: Level: 1.65 feet below full pool. Temp: 60 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. “They ought to be starting to gang up deep in the pockets right now,” said Jim Windham. But with the recent warm weather there should also still be some fish in the shallower water. For numbers of fish, Jim suggested fishing…
I like deep-diving crankbaits and hard-thumping Colorado blades on spinnerbaits. So… when I got wind that my latest GON fishing assignment would include a lesson on how to catch Sinclair largemouths on a drop-shot rig, I found myself looking more forward to the company than the means we’d be using to sling fish in the…
Sinclair: Level: 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 59 degrees. Clarity: Muddy on the upper end of lake, clear on the lower end. Bass: Fair, as 3 1/2 inches of rain has muddied the water at the top end of Sinclair, but there are some good schools of largemouths on the south end of the…
Sinclair: Level: 1.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: Fairly clear, light stain up the Little River. Bass: Great. Aaron Batson got on a great bite last month, and it should still be going on. He’s cranking a new plug from Stanford Lures called a Pug. It’s a square-billed, shallow-running crankbait. “You’ve got…
October is a fantastic time to fish for crappie on a Georgia reservoir for several reasons. With the ranks of fishermen thinned by the call of deer stands, and with the last of the skiers and summer pleasure boaters gone for the season, a die-hard crappie angler will find plenty of uncontested water waiting for…
Sinclair: Level: 0.9 feet low. Temp: 83-84 degrees. Clarity: Fairly stained. Bass: Good. In October Aaron Batson likes banging dock posts with a chartreuse/blue-backed Bandit 200 crankbait. “It’s a wood thing,” said Aaron. “Fish move back to the secondary points and get on blowdowns and docks.” Look for a grass bite early. Aaron will throw…
Sinclair: Level: 1.3 feet low. Temp: 88 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Fair. Aaron Batson said he hasn’t been on the water in a few weeks, but last September he got on a great bite fishing shallow grass edges. “I like a buzzbait early and late around these areas,” said Aaron. “Last year I was…
Level: 1.4 feet low. Temp: 85-90 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Kim Carver says, “When the water’s moving, fish the points and humps in 20-30 feet of water. Zoom green-pumpkin finesse worms, and redbug, also by Zoom, are good colors to Carolina rig.” Mullet: “Get out the salt block and the hog feed,” said Kim…
Sinclair: Level: 1.2 feet low. Temp: 83-84 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Good. Quantity not quality is the case at Sinclair. Lots of fish but not as big as you’d hope for, according to Aaron Batson. In the morning, go to the grassbeds. Throw Zoom Horny Toads and YUM Buzz Frogs in darker colors. Junebug and…
Temperatures soared well into the 90s during the last HD Marine tournament of the 2006 season, but it didn’t hurt the bite for first-place finishers Brad Warfield and Jeff Morgan. The team found fish shallow for the two-day event, which was held June 10-11. On day one the team fished for some topwater fish they’d…
