Bass fishing is good. The best bite has been the spoon bite on the humps on the south end of the lake. White and chartreuse have been the best colors. Spinner baits fished in the creeks and coves shallow will produce fish. White and chartreuse have been the best colors. When Georgia Power is pulling water the same spinner bait will work on the bridge rip rap. (They have been pulling early in the mornings.) Small crank baits fished along the side of the docks in the middle of the coves out to the main lake will also produce.

Striper fishing is very good. The fish are mid lake around river bend. Use your Lowrance to locate the large schools of bait and the stripers will be close by. Look for the birds diving, if you see birds go fish them. Live bait as well as spoons will produce large numbers of fish.

Crappie fishing is fair. The fish are staging in the creeks. Long lining jigs over the fish will produce good catches. Spider rigging will also catch some fish.
