LAKE SEMINOLE IS FULL, STAINED & 77 DEGREES



Bass fishing is good and they are cruising the banks and on the ends of
points. Fish are shallow around any wood and cast baits to shadows all
day. Use a gourd green Zoom u tail worms down lake on Texas rig and use
the brass and glass on the rig for more sound. Look in the mid lake half
way back in the creeks and use the Sluggo with a glass rattle in it and
throw it on the grass. A plastic rat will work on the matted grass. Work
the heavy brush and the fish are on the shady corners. Up the river the
fishing is good and use a 1/2 ounce Stanley spinner bait and add a large
trailer. Use Zoom worms in the u tail style in red bug worked slowly on
wood and docks. Use a Texas rig and add some Jacks Juice. Drop an all
black Zoom trick worm in and around the grass beds. Learn how to use the
Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology with Southern Fishing

LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.99 FEET, 72 DEGREES, MOSTLY STAINED.



Bass fishing is picking up and early top water is good. Buzz baits in
the creeks and a top water prop bait will draw strikes. After the sun is
up, head to the creek and flip docks with a Texas rigged worm. Use
larger worms in dark colors and add some Jack’s Juice in the garlic
flavor and hit the same spot with several casts. On the lower lake, use
a large Berkley Power Sand worm in and around the docks. Work the backs
of these docks and later each day, the banks and sea walls on the
northwest side of the lake will warm from the sunlight. Also a 7A Bomber
in crawfish or fire tiger colors right on the docks and get the lures
under these docks with accurate casts. See our web site for Rods, Reels
and Lures for Bass DVD on sale. We teach On the Water Schools for Sonar
and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for Ken details. If you want

Lake Oconee, Georgia's first experience with a slot size limit for largemouth bass

Report Updated May 9, 2012

LAKE OCONEE IS FULL & 74-80 DEGREES.



Bass fishing is fair. The lake is full and 74 to 80 degrees. The main
lake is clear, stained up the rivers. Start the day with a white or a
white and chartreuse buzz bait. Fish it along the sea walls and rip-
rap. After the top water bite ends move to the docks and start to work
a Texas rigged Zoom u tail worm in a dark green or pumpkin under deep
water docks. You can also work any wood structure on the banks with
the same Texas rigged worm. Some fish are starting to show up on the
points in the mouths of the creeks and coves. Fish these areas with a
Carolina rigged Zoom u-tail worm in the same dark green or pumpkin
color.



Lake Oconee Line Side report brought to you by Mark Smith at Reel Time
Guide Service. 404-803-0741. wwwreeltimeguideservice.com



Line side fishing is good. Fish are still at the dam but they are
starting to show up in other areas of the lake. If the dam area is not
producing one day then start looking up the lake on humps and long
points. Most fish are still coming on live thread fin shad as well as
Capt. Mack u-rigs. The umbrella rig is a good search bait and will
help you locate the fish that have moved from the dam.



Crappie fishing is good and the fish are starting to stage in the tree
tops. Look for the fish in the tops of the trees at about 10 to 15
feet deep. Use you Lowrance to locate the fish in the trees and drop a
minnow down to the fish. This pattern should hold until summer. Sugar
Creek Marina has a complete line of striper gear, crappie jigs and all
the bass tackle you will need. The spring striper bite is on and now
is a good time to stock up. We teach On the Water Schools for Sonar
and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for Ken details at 770 889
2654 for details. If you want the best DVD on Lowrance equipment see

JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN 4.1 FEET, CLEAR & 72 DEGREES



Bass fishing is fair. Several patterns are producing a few fish, but
none are dominant. Some larger bass are still being caught on top
water baits first thing in the morning. Fish main river sea walls that
have deep water very near. Work a Pop R or buzz bait fast to cover a
lot of water quickly. The few fish that are shallow early seem to be
aggressive and will take the bait without repeat casting. Later in the
morning, look for fish on the sides of main river points. Deep crank
baits and Carolina rigged worms are the baits to use. In the central
and upper lake, try hard baits like a No. 6 or No. 7 Fat Free Shad,
Poe's No. 300 and No. 400, Norman Deep Little N or DD22, and Mann's 15
and 20 Plus. Shad and chartreuse patterns both can work. A June bug
finesse worm works well on a 1/16 or 1/8 ounce jig head. If you want

Report Updated May 9, 2012

LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 2.9 FEET, CLEAR & 72 DEGREES



Bass is fair and the warm weather will spark a lot of feeding. Pop R’s
in any color can be an all day lure. If you want more fish on a top
water lure, get the Rico in any color and use some braid so the high
dollar lure does not get taken away from you. The fishing has been
getting better this week. The bass are still feeding heavy on shad in
the creeks and ditches. During the warmer days the bas can be caught on
a small shad colored crank bait like the #5 Shad Rap on points in 5 to
10 feet of water. Mid day go to the Carolina rigged Zoom 5 inch green
pumpkin lizard around brush and standing timber. On the main river, use
a small Zara Spook in bone on any reef marker and any bridge rock and
pilings. If there are fish on the rip rap, use a drop shot rigged with a
Zoom G Tail Ringer or Meathead worm will work well as the fish begin to
set up on main lake points and at the mouth of the creeks. See our web
site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale. If you want the

CLARKS HILL IS DOWN 9.1 FEET, 73 DEGREES & STAINED



Bass fishing is fair and top water is about to break loose. Pop R’s
and small Zara Spook Jr.’s will work. Then mid morning go to the
Rattlin' Rap up in the rivers. Red Crawdad with a chartreuse belly is
a favorite. Locate the small chunk rock and throw the RNR in close. An
occasional bump on the bottom during the retrieve will increase the
number of strikes. Use the 10 pound test Sufix Elite line on a medium
to medium heavy action rod. Also try the smaller Wiggle Wart. Work the
long run out points with the Warts. A lot of noise and the wide wobble
will call the bass in. Stay on the wind blown sides of the lake for
the better action when the wind is up. Keep a ½ ounce spinner bait
ready all day and use a long rod and make the longest casts possible
to the points and blow throughs.

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 2.64 FEET, 76 DEGREES BY MARK COLLINS GUIDE SERVICE



Bass fishing is good and the large mouth are in the back of the creeks
and coves and a lot of Bass have spawned. Pitching a jig or tube bait
to any shallow brush or stumps is working well. Any shallow brush or
stumps can be holding bass right now. A Texas rigged Lizard is also
catching a lot of fish. Flipping shallow docks with a jig or tube bait
is producing some good Bass also. Spotted Bass are still being caught
on secondary gravel and rocky points and humps on Rat L Traps and
shallow running crank baits and Carolina rigged plastics.



Crappie fishing is fair and the spawn is pretty well over and the
crappie have moved back to deeper cover in 10 to 14 feet of water on
brush and stumps in the flats and creek channel ledges. Spider rigging
with live minnows is producing some good fishing. A lot of crappie are
still being caught shooting docks with jigs. Crappie are being caught
under lights at night in 8 to 12 feet of water on the river channel in
Little River and off of docks under lights at night.



Striper fishing is fair and they are starting to be caught at the Cave
hole in Little River on live shad down lined and flat lined. If you

Report Updated May 9, 2012

LAKE GEORGE IS DOWN 1.55 FEET, 76 DEGREES & STAINED



Bass fishing is fair and anglers could use a frog most of the day. If
this bite dies, go to the creek and river ledges with a deep running
crank bait like a Mann’s 20+. The fish are feeding on threadfin shad
around the ledges, and some sort of structure on the ledge really
helps. If you can’t get them on the crank bait, try fishing a big worm
or a jig very slowly. There are a lot of small 12 to 14 inch fish out
there and encouraged anglers to keep these small fish and eat them.
Early try the small shad imitating top water bait. Work the areas
about halfway back in the creeks where the creek channel swings in
against the bank. Look for shad and fish activity on the surface. Once
the top water bite is over for numbers and quality fish use the crank
bait on shallow main lake and creek channel ledges in the 6 to 10 foot
range. A Spro Little John MD in the spooky shad color is a good
choice. Fish areas where the shad schools are and look for key
structural features such as channel intersections, stumps and brush
piles. We teach ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for Sonar and Rods, Reels and
Lures for Bass. Call for details. Learn how to use the new GEN 2
Lowrance HDS machines. Call for details. If you want the best DVD on
