Bass fishing is fair and with all the rain this past week and the influx of fresh water alot of fish are being caught around culverts that have alot of run off water moving thru them. Most Largemouth and Spotted bass are still being caught on off shore structure, like main lake humps and points, and a lot of bass are on the old river and creek channel ledges also, with the very warm water temperature the fish are not very active during the day. A Carolina rigged Senko worm in green pumpkin/chartreuse or junebug/chartreuse, is working awesome on these fish. Crank Baits and Spinner Baits and Carolina rigged plastics are all catching these fish also. Some fish are being caught flipping deeper docks with a jig or tube. There is a good top water bite right now, the bass are being caught on sea walls close to deep water, early in the am and late in the pm.
There is also a good night bite right now, they are mostly being caught on lighted docks.
The shad have moved up in the Chattooga River and Little Spring Creek, to the cooler, more oxygen rich water flowing into the lake, both are several degrees cooler than the main lake and the bass will be more active in this cooler water, look for the schools of shad and fish the flats and edges of the river channel near them. Always watch for Bass chasing the shad and have a shallow running crank bait ready.
Crappie fishing is Fair and a few fish are being caught during daylight under docks on a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig. The Crappie will be on a night bite for the rest of the summer, so grab a can of OFF and your lights and come catch some summer time slabs. Some good fish are being caught under lights at night off the deeper docks on live minnows and jigs, also Crappie are being caught at night under lights, in 8-14 feet of water on the old river channel ledges in Little River and the old Coosa River channel.
Striper fishing is fair and they have left the main lake and have moved back up in the rivers and creeks, the Cave Hole in Little River and in the lower Chattooga River and Little Spring Creek are all producing some fair stripers. Live shad down lined 8-10 feet deep and free lined is the way to catch these summer Stripers. The Chattooga River from Cornwall Furnace up past the Gaylesville bridge is also producing some good Stripers.
Catfish are biting good and they are being caught in the flats and coves in 10-20 feet of water on cut shad.
