Bass Fishing is Fair and they are starting to show up on gravel, secondary points, shallow humps, road beds and some deeper gravel or rocky banks, Rat L Traps are starting to produce a lot of fish, shallow running crank baits are also producing well. The Spotted Bass are really showing up on gravel points, a Texas rigged Senko style worm in green pumpkin/chartreuse, is producing a lot of Bass.
 
Crappie Fishing is Great and the Crappie have done very well this past week, lots of stringer of 40-60 fish are being caught, Tuesday was the the toughest day this past week. The Crappie are suspended 8-12 feet deep and even shallower in some areas. Long line trolling with 1/24 and 1/16 ounce Jiffy Jigs www.jiffyjigs.com in colors JJ01, JJ05, JJ08, JJ13, JJ17,JJ24,JJ33 is a great way to catch these suspended Crappie.  Look for the Crappie suspended in the deeper water of the cove's and in the middle of the old river channels. A float and fly technique is also catching a lot of fish in these same area's. Little River, Little Spring Creek and the Chattooga River are producing the best fishing. The bays in the upper Coosa around Riverside camp Ground are starting to turn on also.
 
Striper Fishing is Poor and most Stripers have made the run up into the rivers for the spawn. Mayo's Lock and Dam in Georgia is where most of the stripers are being caught.
 
Catfish are biting good in the flats 6-10 feet deep on cut shad

Bass Fishing is Fair and they are starting to show up on gravel, secondary points, shallow humps, road beds and some deeper gravel or rocky banks, some Bass are still out deep on the channel ledges, look for them to really start moving up when the water gets to 50 degree's. Rat L Traps are starting to produce a lot of fish, shallow running crank baits are also producing well. The Spotted Bass are really showing up on gravel points, a Texas rigged Senko style worm in green pumpkin/chartreuse, is producing a lot of Bass.

Little River, Little Spring Creek and the Chattooga River are producing the best fishing. The bays in the upper Coosa around Riverside camp Ground are starting to turn on also. The Power House lake is also starting to produce a lot of Crappie. I expect the fish to really turn on over the next 2 weeks.
 
Striper Fishing is Poor and most Stripers have made the run up into the rivers for the spawn. Mayo's Lock and Dam in Georgia is where most of the stripers are being caught.
