Bass fishing is fair. The Bass are still under the docks. You can now add the jig bite to the list of worms that are catching fish. The Texas rigged u-tail Zoom worm in a dark green or blue has been the best over the past few days. The Shakey Head is a close second to the Texas rig. Some fish are also coming on the Booyah pigskin Jig. You will need to fish these rigs as far under the docks as possible. Fish are starting to move into shallower water as it cools down. As always the bite is better when Georgia Power is moving water.

Line Side fishing is fair. As the water cools down start looking for the fish to show up in the river bend area of the lake. Use your lowrance to locate the schools of bait and look under them for the schools of stripers. When you see the striper under the bait drop a live shad down to them and hang on. This pattern will hold into December. When the birds start showing up. As always keep an eye out for breaking fish and have a popping cork ready to through to them. Any day the u-rig bite at the dam should start back up. I always go ck out the dam area at this time of year to see if it is time to pull the rigs?

 

 

Sugar Creek has the Capt. Mac u-rigs in stock along with Okuma line counter reels and Okuma striper rods. They also have a complete line of Zoom baits on hand.

Crappie fishing is fair. As the water cools down these fish will start to move up in the water column. Some fish are showing up in brush piles from 5 to 10 ft.The night bite in the timber is still the best producer. Look for the fish to show up on your Lowrance and drop you live shinners down the the depth they are holding at.
