Bass fishing is good. Small crank baits fished around the docks will draw or any wood structure will draw a strike. A chrome Rat L Trap or a small Shad Rap number 5 or 7 in fire tiger, or shad color will work depending on water color. A shaky head worked under the docks from the middle of the creeks to the back will also draw a few extra strikes. White/chartreuse spinner baits fished on mid cove docks and sea walls have also been producing. This pattern works best when Georgia Power is moving water.

Striper fishing is good. The stripers have started their spring run to the dam and up the rivers. Live bait fished on down lines and flat lines have been producing all week at the dam. Some fish are deep and some are up on the points.

Crappie fishing is good. The fish are in the creeks and large coves. Long lines with double jigs trolled at 1mph has been the best producer over the past week. The spider rigging bite has picked up over the past week. When spider rigging it is best to tip the jig with a minnow. Use any jig as long as it has chartreuse in it.

Make sure you stop by Sugar Creek Marina and pick up your spoons and all your tackle needs. You can also book your crappie and striper trips with Reel Time Service at 404 803 0741 or [email protected]
