LAKE GEORGE IS FULL, HIGH 80’S

Bass fishing is good early and late around isolated grass patches with a black/blue swim jig and in the lily pad beds with a Big Bite Baits Top Toad in green pumpkin pearl or a Natural Red Spro Bonzeye frog. Fish these isolated grass patches and lily pad beds right off the main lake around the mouth of Cowikee Creek. When the sun gets up, its time to head to Eufaula’s famous ledges or flip grass mats at the mouths of larger pockets. Flip these mats with a Big Bite Baits fighting frog in green pumpkin or black blue with a 1 ounce Tru Tungsten weight. Crank the ledges with a #7 Fat Free Shad in Citrus or Foxy Shad on 10# GAMMA Fluorocarbon. The best crank bait bite on the ledges has been from Cowikee Creek down to the causeway. There is also a good Carolina rig bite on the steeper ledges up north and in the man made brush piles on the south end of the lake. Look for ledges with a hard bottom in 15 foot of water on top, with your boat sitting in 30 to 40 feet. Slowly drag your rig all the way down the ledge because some of the better fish have been hanging at the bottom of the ledge. The best brush piles down south have been in the 12 to 15 foot range close to ditches leading into the larger creeks and on the flats close to the creek mouths.
