WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 4.4 FEET STAINED & HIGH 60’S

SEE NOTICE FROM THE CORP OF ENGINEERS BELOW.

From the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Due to recent heavy rains, excess sediment deposits have pushed down from the Chattahoochee River leaving silt formations in the lake channel thus narrowing the navigation channel north of the Georgia Highway 219 river bridge. This area is between Georgia Park and Ringer Park. In addition, a large sandbar has formed along the west side of the river channel. Too properly mark the river channel, red and green buoys will be replaced with mid channel buoys (black and white vertically stripped) which identify the center of the channel. Boaters should navigate near these buoys to ensure deeper water. Shoal markers will be installed to identify the sandbar. Boaters should proceed with caution in this stretch of river and always be on the lookout for floating debris.

Both the largemouth bass and the spots are heading shallow daily with the warming trends. Early, start on the secondary points and then move towards the backs of coves. They are aggressively feeding on shad early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Anglers are using Alabama rig and fan casting the coves and points to find the schools. Be sure to watch for the larger bait schools as he bass will be very close by. During mid day, the bass move out into the middle of the pockets and cruise. Jerk baits like a sinking Rapala, the ITO Vision 110 and the McStick can be fished shallow and these are the lures to use. The full moon is March 23, 2016 and this will bring a lot of fish shallow. The best pattern to catch bass is to fish from 3/4 of the way in to a cove to the back of the cove looking for feeding fish. Carolina rigged worms and shad colored deep diving crank baits have also been catching some fish.
