The Southern Fishing Report

 

 

 

 

Bass fishing is good. The fishing keeps getting better every day, spring is here. Secondary points seam to be holding the most fish. Chrome Rat L Traps with a stop and go retrieve. The creeks are full of bait, and the bass are relating to the bait. Keep moving until you find the active fish. Shad pattern Shad Raps fished off of the sea walls and rip rap will also produce good catches. This time of year make sure you have white chartreuse spinner bait handy. You can fish the spinner bait in the same areas as the other baits. As always on Oconee when Georgia Power is pulling water the fishing will be better.

Line side fishing is good. Look for the birds. If they are diving then set out your flat lines and plainer boards. Live bait is the way to go. The fish are scattered from Sugar creek to the dam. The spring run is on, now is the time to catch the big stripers.

 

 

 

Crappie fishing is good to very good. The big slabs are moving to the back of the main creeks like Lick and Sugar. Look in water from 2 10 ft. deep. Spider rigs seam to do the best right now. Dark jigs in blue black with a minnow added seam to be the best. The fish should be sponging with the full moon this weekend. Now is the time to take a child fishing?
