  • Lake Russell Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 50’s

    Bass fishing is slow. The recent cold snap has backed the black bass out into deeper water. But they will rebound fast. Once the warmer sunny days return, these bass will move up in search for food and shallow. The fish that have committed shallow for the spawn will stay in those general areas, they just may be much less active. The front will definitely negatively affect those fish that were close to spawning or fish that were just starting to move up. It is truly hard to say exactly what the prevailing pattern will be post front. The rip rap is a good place to find these fish after the sun comes up and the heat gets on the rocks. The slight change in temperature, one to three degrees, will get the bait fish active. If the water is stained, try throwing a #7 Shad Rap black/silver or black/gold Shad Rap in the suspending model. Crank the bait down then let it stay still for three or four seconds then work it again in the same manner. For the deeper rip rap near the channel, throw the Rapala DT10 in either fire tiger or black/silver. Also use this bait to work the channel ledges and humps. The Carolina rig is still a winter time favorite on Russell while fishing in depths to 35 feet. Use a 3/8 ounce or smaller sinker and throw a 4 1/2 inch Storm worm in the darker colors like red shad. The bites will be slow but anglers are reporting good results and 3 4 pound bass are being caught on these patterns.
