Fishing Reports
Jeremiah Giles reports, “On West Point, the bass fishing is good. Last week’s trip I caught them up shallow in 10 feet on creature baits and crankbaits. The better colors were green pumpkin and anything with chartreuse in it. A white ChatterBait and a small shaky head fished along any shoreline rock cover did well,…
The day of striper fishing on West Point for Mike Steele, of Dallas, was pretty-danged boring until it wasn’t. It ended with him landing a 40-lb. striper that’s a new lake record. He has his buddy Mike Bartlett to thank, and Bartlett wasn’t even the net man. “My buddy and I had fished from daylight…
West Point: Level: 3.2 feet below 635. Temp: Mid 60s to low 70s. Clarity: Stained pretty much all over the lake. Bass: Guide Keith Hudson reports, “Good. Bass can be caught on several different patterns during April. You can try working the backs of pockets with topwater baits, such as Pop-Rs, Zara Spooks and buzzbaits. This…
T.R. Clark, with YouTube’s Fishing With TR, said the catfish bite was steady this past weekend and should stay strong through the month of April. April is one of the better months of the year to catch trophy-class cats as these fish feed up ahead of their spawn. April has produced one of the former…
Crappie: Guide Payton Caldwell reports, “The water is muddy, 59-62 degrees and 2 feet low. This combination has crappie all over the place. You can catch them in 25 feet all the way up to 3 and 4 feet. Live minnows work great as always, and a dark-blue tube jig or a blue-and-black curly tail…
Bass: Guide Keith Hudson reports, “After last week’s heavy rains and the water rising to above full pool briefly, becoming a minefield of debris, the lake is back down to slightly above winter level and pretty heavily stained overall. You may find some clearer water in the back halves of major creeks as the runoff clears. Also,…
The final day of the Major League Fishing (MLF) Tackle Warehouse Invitational Stop 2 Presented by Suzuki on West Point Lake was as dramatic as anticipated. With the clock ticking down, none of the leaders had pulled clearly ahead or had spectacular days, until Tyler Stewart of Dubach, Louisiana, iced it with a last-minute kicker…
By Randy Sullivan For the first time in a couple of years we were able to get the Georgia SAF High School State Championship in without any rain. We had a beautiful morning for the take-off on Feb. 24 on West Point, and the first half of the day was calm as glass. However, that…
West Point: Level: 5.5 feet below 635. Temp: Upper 50s to low 60s. Clarity: Slightly stained and pulled back down about 4 to 5 feet. Bass: Guide Keith Hudson reports, “Good. Big changes are in store as we move into March. Warming weather and a stained lake should move many of the largemouth shallow quickly, especially…
Several bass tournaments competed at West Point Lake over the weekend. The water clarity at West Point remains stained. There’s a heavy stain in the area around the causeways, and it gets clearer the farther you go up the Chattahoochee River. Some creeks down the lake have clearer water, however, Whitewater Creek was very muddy…
