Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “May has been an interesting fishing month. Redfish, trout, black drum and whiting have been biting. On May 19, the water temp was right on 80 degrees—summertime is here. June is usually a good trout fishing month. The trout are starting to spawn and are moving into the open waters…
Temp: 74-80 degrees. Clarity: 5 feet. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “To me, it seems like the water temperature is a little slow to warm compared to most years in the past, likely due to rain and a few cold fronts. We’re now at the tail end of the shad spawn. The bass are on…
If catching bass around cypress trees and grassbeds sounds like fun, head to Lake Blackshear in June. Blackshear is arguably our prettiest lake, with shallows studded with cypress trees and acres of grassbeds. Water hyacinths, lily pads in bloom, water willow beds and water primrose are pretty this month. But more importantly, they give largemouth…
Blackshear: Level: Full at 237. Temp: 79 degrees. Clarity: Heavy stain. Bass: Tournament angler Chris Gray reports, “Bass fishing on Blackshear right now has been fairly consistent.

Oliver: Level: 0.8 feet below 337. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Tyler Morgan reports, “Some big spotted bass will be schooling toward the Goat Rock Dam.

Oconee: Level: Full at 435. Temp: High 70s to low 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Nick Knapp, with Elite Guide Service, reports, “During the month of June, it is transition month. I look for the fish to move from the banks on the periodic shad spawn that has been going on. Docks this month are…
