Bass fishing is good and the water is clear on the main lake and stained up the rivers. Bass have moved into the creeks and coves off the main lake. The main portion of the lake has a light stain or what we would call a good “color” to it. So a darker color worm would be the chose on this part of the lake. Fish the docks and wood structure in the coves and creeks. Lick Creek is loaded with bait and the bass are close by. Also fish a small crank bait by the docks and pick up a few fish as well. The Richland Creek arm of the lake is very clear. The fishing on this end of the lake is not as good as the main lake but there are still fish in the back of the creeks in 5 to 10 feet of water. To catch these fish you will need to down size your line and bait. Work the wood structure with a small Texas rigged worm.

Line side fishing is fair. Some fish are showing up in the usual fall locations. These locations are at River Bend and at the mouth of Richland Creek. The fish at Richland Creek are showing up around 20 to 30 ft deep. The best way to locate these fish is with your Lowrance. They will be under the large bait ball. Live bait is my first choose. You can also draw a strike with a spoon. The fish at river bend seam to prefer the live bait over the spoon. These fish are not as deep however the Lowrance is still the way to locate the fish. Sugar Creek has the Capt. Mac umbrella rigs in stock along with Okuma line counter reels and Okuma striper rods. They also have a complete line of Zoom baits on hand. If you like to see the Lowrance HDS units in action give me a call and I can show you how it works. You can have an on the water demo. 404-803-0741

 

 

 

Crappie fishing is good. The crappie are showing up in the middle of the major creek. Live bait is the best bet for loading the cooler. Use your Lowrance to locate the fish and drop a live shad down. Keep moving until you locate the fish. They are scattered all over the major creeks but when you find them they will feed.
