Bass Fishing is Fair and the dog days of summer are here again. The bass are getting very lethargic due to high water temperature and low oxygen levels. Down sizing your baits this time of year will usually produce a lot more fish due to all the smaller, fresh hatched Shad, 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. look for the best bite to be early and late. Some fish have moved to shallow banks near deeper water, in 4-8 feet of water. The best stringers of Bass are still coming on a deep pattern, on crank baits and soft plastics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crappie Fishing is Good and the crappie are on creek and river channel ledges and in the flats in 12-16 feet of water on brush and stumps. Spider rigging with live minnows is the way to catch these summer time Crappie. A few Crappie are still being caught shooting docks with jigs. Crappie are being caught under lights at night in 8-12 feet of water on the river channel in Little River and off of docks under lights at night. I have targeted crappie several times the last few weeks and caught 50- 100 each time out !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Striper Fishing is Fair and they are starting to get lethargic due to the very hot water, but some fish are still being caught at the Cave hole in Little River on live shad down lined about 8 feet deep, and flat lined, they are also being caught in the Chattooga River. They are also being caught in the canal when they are generating power. Little Spring Creek is also producing some good Stripers on live shad.
