Wahoo, Tuna or Turkey ?? – Seeking Crew!
Turkey! We dont require no stinkin turkey! Not as prolonged as we can devote a day chasing wahoo & tuna. Not to point out the truth that the most significant blue marlin of the year will be prowling Hatteras offshore waters! )
Ive obtained three men who want to fish 11/24. They are also adaptable to 11/twenty five or eleven/26 as the weather dictates. I need to have one a lot more crew to make the trip and, of training course, have place for up to three much more.
Past that Im open to fishing as several days as feasible in the course of the week or two following eleven/24.
Who is aware of? Maybe the bluefin will even present up early this yr. 🙂 It doesnt hurt to dream and if youre going to dream, dream large!
Observing a football game is just fine if you cant invest the day on blue h2o, but if I have a selection of performing vs. observing, properly, that an effortless choice to make! )
As always, if the spirit moves you, give me a shout.
Very best regards,

Little Skip Judys Feel It or Not! Me and my mom!
Inshore Sheepshead season is upon us!
For people fishermen that want to target the outdated Sheepshead now is the time. A great deal of the more substantial sheepshead have migrated out to the rivers, sounds, beachfronts, and to any around shore wrecks. Greatest baits are heading to be purple back or black again fiddlers, little items of shrimp, live shrimp, and green mussels. Please bear in mind that when it arrives to the Sheepshead you have to set the hook just before the fish normally requires a bite!
Noticed Sea Trout Bite
Great searching just caught spotted sea trout!
For these of you that want to get your very best shot at catching noticed sea trout now is the time. It does make a difference what the tide phase is as prolonged as it is transferring. Dwell shrimp under modest adjustable corks is going to be the amount a single bait and rig to use. Nonetheless, once you get the bite likely its basic to alter from stay bait to synthetic shrimp designs. Gulps and DOAs worked great yesterday and they will most likely perform nowadays!
Inshore fishing is nevertheless the genuine deal
Good looking pair of fish and fishermen!
Throughout this time when the winds are fairly much in manage inshore fishing can still be good. The secret is to fish locations out of the wind, find some obvious water, and stay by the 20-moment staying rule. With that staying said fish near the composition as well as away from it. Dont rule out fishing directly on the bottom with reside bait. Feel me this is when the flounder bite just may possibly shock you!
Captain Jack McGowans Common Fishing Report for finish of Oct and very first of November
Captain Jack McGowan and his massive fish that he identified floating in the Savannah River
I know I have revealed this photo ahead of. Nevertheless, I just have to do it once more. Right after conversing to many companies this could have been a fish that an individual introduced inshore from offshore, figured out they must not have it, and then basically dumped it in the drinking water.
Captain Jack McGowans Basic Fishing Report for end of October and very first of November
Fishing has been great! Nonetheless, circumstances on the coast can swiftly modify. Spring tides, significant tide connected with very last weeks total moon, coupled with a persistent northeast wind have produced some of the most significant tides of the calendar year. This has meant demanding problems. Its achievable to catch some nice fish. Some fishermen are venturing into the salt marsh in search of reds. A far more typical technique is to fish a stay shrimp under a bobber near grassy regions with oyster encrusted bottoms on an outgoing tide for red fish. Options and possibilities on windy days are restricted. If the windward side is too rough then your ideal wager is fish lee shores. In bad situations fish one fish at time. Gearing again your expectations and just enjoy the awesomeness of naturel. Who is aware you may set on a dandy college of reds!
Sea trout are beginning to bite! If Oct is the month for red fish then November is the month for sea trout! As temperature drop sea trout and redfish are on the shift in research of tasty shrimp morels prior to the chilly of winter season. Trolling soft plastics can be effective. This technique allows fishermen to cover drinking water to locate fish. When you catch a fish double back again, troll the very same place. If you get another then set up. Youll likely be fishing close to a little gully, feeder creek or submerged composition. This is a attempted and true technique that one particular veteran fisherman not too long ago reminded me of. If you dont like gradual trolling then employing a trolling motor a fisherman can pitch along financial institution. My preference for pitching is when the chance for achievement is higher. Favorite patterns are jerk worms, flukes and imitation shrimp. Fishermen will have an unlimited testament of shades and variations. The principal point to retain in head is sea trout are sight feeders. Chartreuse, pearl white with salt and pepper flukes and Xmas tree are classics colors. In lower light plastic that glow are successful as nicely the brightest colours in dirty drinking water. Even with drinking water temperature in the very low 60s there are even now tons of bait stealers. Trolling or pitching could be powerful. When trolling a simple curl tail performs nicely. When pitching jigs an 1/8 or 1/four ounce are the most favorite.
The red fish bite has been fairly consistent! In latest many years red fish are obtaining a lot more focus. Completely, keep with the limits. Preserve only what you want to take in and release the relaxation. When it will come to measuring a red fish or other fish that specify measure by total tail length you can pinch the tail jointly. Depend on fish measuring considerably more time with a pinched tail. A suited rule of thumb when will come to keeping fish preserve only individuals fish that are evidently authorized. A fish that is barely legal will shrink a tiny after its put on ice.
Conservation Notes…..Gary Caputi of RFA Recreational Fishing Alliance will speak on the Magnuson Stevens Act, Saturday November fifth at Tubbys Tank Residence in Thunderbolt at 2pm. What does this have to with an inshore fishing report? The reply is a lot! Fish closures offshore will stress inshore fisheries which could outcome in closures. If you can make it, make sure you plan on attending. For a lot more info on the meeting get in touch with the Savannah chairman Bob Black 912.223.2986.
As soon northeast winds subside and the wedge of ocean drinking water recedes fishing will likely be very hot! Fish will be hungry in lookup of straightforward of meals as they fatten up for winter. Northeasters normally blow for a week. Looks like weve had a lot of wind. Fishing this fall has been hot at moments and will probably be very hot as shortly as favorable problems returns. For now just enjoy the challenge!
Hope this of interest and assist! Fish On! Capt. Jack McGowan =
Beachfronts and waters between in the vicinity of shore artificial reefs!
Minor tunny, blue fish, and Spanish mackerel
I have been catching tiny tunny, blue fish, and Spanish mackerel although pitching artificial lures. After you get pass the Wassaw Sea Buoy I recommend that you commence searching for birds feeding or just sitting on the drinking water. I saw a flock of birds sitting on the h2o, headed that way, and right just before I attained them acquired hooked up. We caught blue fish, Spanish mackerel, and minor tunny All of these leading h2o provide up a fantastic battle on gentle tackle. Ideal baits are little silver swimming lures or spoons.

This is the area to go to target massive fish only!
Blue Water Ideas
Sword fish and the X TA SEA fishing team
A wonderful sword becoming introduced on board the X TA SEA!
The X TR SEA blue drinking water fishing staff has identified a rather sound sword fish bite offshore our coast. Nonetheless, this 1 of people fishing journeys that demands a great deal of arranging. The swords have been holding about 75 to 100 miles off our coast. When you get this significantly out I phone the ledges or composition beneath drinking water mountains. Very best baits so significantly have been died mega measurement squid drifted deep at darkish thirty!
Heres what the X TA SEA blue drinking water fishing group is employing for bait when concentrating on sword fish. Indeed, that is a custom manufactured purple squid and no you cant purchase them, you have to die them oneself!!

Red Bugs and Leg Cramps
My father was a massive eater. In reality when I was youthful, grocery purchasing was anything, but normal. We primarily shopped at the wholesale property. He brought every thing by the situation. These can products also incorporated such products as catsup, mustard, and mayo. Most can items these kinds of as corn peas, potatoes, and the above pointed out things ended up introduced in regular dimensions cans, but often by the scenario. Nevertheless when it arrived to cans of stewed tomatoes that was one more tale. He introduced them in gallon cans. He loved his canned tomatoes blended was huge amounts of cider vinegar. According to my father steady usage of cider vinegar would retain the red bugs off of you. As a small kid I had by no means on any occasion witnessed a red bug. So as a result I assumed it labored. With hunting period on us I imagined that you might want to know this important piece of details!
My father had quite significant leg cramps. As quickly as he felt like an episode was about to consider area he would operate into the kitchen, get the apple cider vinegar, pour a bit into a small glass, and blend identical amount of water. When stirred or sloughed about in the glass he would gulp it correct down. This would instantly quit the legs cramps and he then could go proper back to mattress. Now that I have gotten mature, I as well, have leg cramps. Now you know what I do when this commences to happens!
PS: thats cider vinegar not white vinegar. In accordance to my father the white vinegar would not work. Many several years ago I discovered that out when I picked up the incorrect bottle of vinegar.
Thanks for studying! Captain Judy

Ocean Isle Fishing Center report 11-3
We haven’t posted numerous offshore fishing reports lately becase we just cannot get out. The wind will not permit up. Generally you get a front, it blows a few of days then you get a few of wonderful days to fish. For the previous month at minimum the fronts are a single soon after the next, leaving Very slender windows to fish. Nowadays was just one particular of the windows as it blew 25kts northeast yesterday and is forecast to blow 25kts tomorrow, but right now was a great 10kt day. Barrett, Jacob and I loaded up on the OIFC Yellowfin and headed offshore with visions of Gag Grouper — I just knew we could rehash old times and hammer them in 80 feet of water. Well, guess yet again. The h2o out to 35 miles seems like a mud puddle. It is truly terrible dirty and lifeless. We wasted a great portion of the day forcing the situation in 70-90 ft of water, but lastly wisened up and ran offshore until we found great drinking water– 100 ft, 40 miles offshore. We arrived and magically the fish had been biting. The poor news was the Red Snapper ate up all our Grouper baits. No kidding, we hit a spot and caught 6 Red Snapper ten-twenty five pounds, cool but distressing to have to release. Anyway, we did catch our three fish limit of Gags pretty quick when we discovered the drinking water and then messed with the Kings & Sharks for a even though just before heading in. It was a wonderful day on the water.

It is amazing what 1 can operate across even though sitting in a hospital place. In this situation I discovered a tale by the Fisherman’s Voice about Congressman Walter B. Jones of N.C. third District and Rep. Mike McIntyre of N.Do. requesting the Appropriations and Authorizing Committee not to fund the Catch and Share System. Their request is based on the monetary hardships the program would result in fishermen during this currently struggling economy. The letter was signed by 19 congressmen of the eastern seaboard states. Click on on this website link for the news post from Walter B Jones.
When the time comes, bear in mind these elected officials who help the fishing market.

The trout are biting! From Little River to Lockwood Folly River reports are coming in from all around that the bite is very hot. We started out out 1st point this morning and located a handful of. We pounded the financial institutions with artificials selecting at a number of the following and there. Right after a few several hours and several double hook ups with trout we ended the day with twenty five+ trout landed and three flounder. We saved a number of excellent types for the supper table and unveiled a bunch in the two to 3 pound array when we had 6 in the box.

"Got Trout?" | Tiberias – 22′ | ten/29/11
The previous two a long time winter has brought brutally cold climate to our area. The speckled sea trout population has suffered some reduction no doubt as handful of had been caught in the spring and summer season months. Closures and lack of focusing on the species might have also contributed to the lack in numbers caught previously this yr. I targeted the trout two times this previous week and experience that we had a great spawning year. Tons of little fish in the eleven" to13" array have been displaying up with some 2 to 3 pounders in the blend. We have also caught several tiny trout in our cast nets as properly. All good signs that trout are close to and really should rebound in numbers with hopefully a delicate winter forward of us. I appear ahead to some good fishing this next month focusing on trout, reds, and flounder on artificials. Chase and Josh received in on the motion yesterday! We landed a number of trout, two flounder, and 1 redfish. Many thanks for fishing with me guys! See ya on the h2o!

Cumming, Georgia 30040
November 3, 2011
LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 11.79 FEET, THE CREEKS ARE SLIGHTLY STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE IS CLOUDY & 63 DEGREES.
This Lake Lanier Bass report is from Jim Mathley, www.jimboonlanier.com 770 542 7764
Spotted bass fishing is good. The schooling activity has came back some this week in a few of the upper end creeks. Jerk baits and flukes seem to be the best weapons to catch these fish. Our best baits over the last week have remained the shaky head worm and a jig. We have been targeting secondary points with brush as well as lay down trees in these same locations to catch our fish. The jerkbait and a crankbait are working on most days and are good choices to pick off the active fish. Many very active fish continue to be shallow and can be found in 10 feet of water or less. The backs of some of the upper end creeks are holding fish as well. Also fishing docks with brush has proven successful at times but some creeks with docks are producing and some are not. Stay on the move to find the ones holding fish and concentrate on those areas. Keep an eye on your Lowrance electronics as you scout for good fishing areas. Move back further in the creeks and look for the bait balls. Where there is bait there is or will soon be fish. Once you have targeted a creek or pocket holding fish, you may have success by rotating that area with other areas you find holding bait and fish. Fish move up and down in the water column throughout the day, and in the same context move from deep to shallow. Given that, if you have success at one point in the day in a particular location plan to return again later and you can have success in the same area. Once the turnover ends completely and the water stabilizes, the fish should return to normal and be a bit easier to target. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.
This Lake Lanier Striper report is from Captain Ken West and Captain Mike Maddalena of Big Fish On! Guide Service, 404 561 2564. www.bigfishonguide.com
Striper fishing is fair. There is still a lot of shallow bait over deep water lake wide. The stripers are schooling and surfacing on main lake over open water. They are moving very fast, so keep your eyes open and on the water. The Red Fin has been the most productive top water bait this week but always keep a Capt. Mack’s bucktail tied on and use it when the surface activity slows. The majority of the surfacing activity has been on the South end of the lake from the dam to Aqua Land Marina. There is also a live bait early morning bite. Focus on long sloping points and flats with free line herring and trout pulled 20 feet behind planner boards and 50 to 80 feet behind the boat. After the sun gets up especially on those high pressure, blue sky and bright sunny days you should switch to down rods and move to deep water points. Keep your eyes open for schooling fish and do not spend too much time on any one point. The lake level is down and a number of ramps are closed. Check with US Army Corps of Engineers web site to find a list of the ramps and their status. http://www.sam.usace.army.mil/lanier…Elevations.htm

WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 12.11 FEET, STAINED & 71 DEGREES BY CHRIS BELL
Bass fishing has been good. Fishing has been on fire this week. The same patterns continue to work completely dependent on current conditions. The lake is extremely low right now which has concentrated fish on isolated pieces of anywhere on the lake. Be extremely careful when leaving the river channel with the current lake levels. Most all of the ramps are still accessible. We will continue to keep everyone updated as lake levels change. In the early morning, just about any type of topwater is producing right now as long as it is in a natural pattern. On windier morning the buzzbait can pay off with bigger fish. This is the same with the spinnerbait action if wind is present. Use a War Eagle 3/8 ounce spot remover spinnerbait with double silver willow leaf blades. If there is no wind switch to your shaky head and jig with green pumpkin being the best color. Use a 3/8 ounce All Terrain jig AT Craw with a Zoom green pumpkin speed craw.
Hybrid and striper fishing is good. Trolling is really beginning to pick up as water temperatures have dropped and shad have begun stacking in the mouths of creeks, pockets, and up the main river. The key is finding the bait right now. Once you have located shad begin trolling medium running crankbaits that dive from ten to twelve feet in depth. The best colors producing are in a shad pattern.
Crappie fishing has been good. Fish have finally pulled up into mid depth brush piles in five to ten feet of water. There will be multiple fish in each brush pile so slowing down with live bait down lined below corks is working best. When shad begin to migrate into pockets, look for the trolling bite to heat up.

LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 10.2 FEET, 65 DEGREES AND CLEAR
This Lake Allatoona bass fishing report is from Matt Driver, www.proanglerradio.com
Bass fishing is fair on Allatoona and is still very consistent. The fall feed up continues with lots of open water feeding going on. The Scrounger bite has been getting better. We prefer to tip it with a 4 inch Alewife colored big bite jerk minnow and fish the bait at a medium retrieve. For fun, we have been playing a new rig called the Alabama rig tipped with 1/8 ounce jig heads and Big Bite Cane Thumper don’t be surprised if you catch a double. Mid to upper lake in the mouths of the creeks seem to be the most productive. You can burn lipless crankbaits like the Spro Aruku Shad or the Rat L Trap on open shallow flats where active bass are chasing bait. Try the wide lipped crankbaits like the Spro Little John or the Fat John around wood and visible shallow cover. See our web site for the Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.

Line side fishing is great. The lake is in the process of turning over and all the action is on the north end of the lake this week. We have been catching most of our fish on the bottom at 8 to 20 feet deep on the flats from Little River to Fields Landing. Soon, the fish will gradually start moving back down lake and the fish are relating to the bottom. The best bite has been on jigging spoons dropped to the bottom and then twitched up about 6 inches. The bite will come as the spoon falls. We use a 3/4 or 1 ounce Flex It in chrome with either white or chartreuse. Spoons are catching a mixed bag of hybrids, stripers and white bass, and we are even catching a few big catfish in the same area. Its not uncommon to boat 30 or 40 fish. The fish will also hit live bait, and the gizzards and threadfins are easy to catch in Little River. You just have to get there before sun up. Linesides are hitting shad both on down lined and free lines. With the down rods being the better bite.
November 3, 2011
LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 9.1 FEET, CLEAR & 64 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair and as the weather cools the water the bass are feeding. The best baits during the day are the drop shot rigged with a Zoom Swamp Crawler and a jig head or Scrounger head rigged with a Zoom Fluke Jr.. Keep a top water bait ready like the Lucky Craft Pointer 78 and a Lucky Craft Sammy and fish the offshore areas with all of these baits. This is when the Navionics chart will get anglers off the banks and on the off shire humps and ledges. The Lowrance will help the drop shot rig find the schools of bass holding on the points and humps close to brush and deep timber. Any fish suspended will take a jerk bait but work it slowly. Keep your Sammy ready in case you see schooling activity. Also try the backs of the major creek arms and fish shallow. Look for the activity to pick up in the backs of the major creek arms later in the month. Try a lipless crankbait like a Lucky Craft LV 200 and a Buckeye Lures Flat Top Finesse Jig when fishing shallow.

November 3, 2011
CLARKS HILL IS DOWN 9.6 FEET, 65 DEGREES WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
Bass fishing is good and the bass are shallow. Use a buzz bait early along with the Zara Spook Jr. Hit the humps at the mouths of the creeks. Then head to the creeks behind the shad schools. When they are on the surface, use the Sammy and Super Flukes. A spinnerbait or Rat L Trap will also work. Look for fish breaking in the backs of the coves, and always keep a Super Fluke tied on to throw at schooling fish. Hit the humps also with the small shad crank bait or a trick worm on a shaky head. Bass will into the backs of the creeks to feed up on shad. Get on the flats in the backs of the creeks, and look for bait and fish busting on it. Crank a Shad Rap or other crankbait that doesnt get any deeper than about 7 feet. Later this month, the jig bite should get good. Try jigging docks or any wood cover you can find on secondary points in 8 to 12 feet of water.
November 3, 2011
LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 2.6 FEET, CLEAR & 65 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. This is a good week to be on the main lake structure and use the crank bait and the Carolina rig. There are some anglers already vertical jigging with a shaky head, spoon or a drop shot. Rocky points with brush piles, the reef markers around the dam or vertical structure like bridge pilings. These fish will bite a Rapala DT6 or DT10 crankbait. Then slow down and pick apart the structure with your finesse worm rigs once you locate some fish. Keep a Super Fluke ready as well as the double fluke rig as these bait can pick them off when they are schooling. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.

LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN ONE FOOT, CLEAR, 70 DEGREES BY MATT BATY
Bass fishing is fair but the bass have been a little frustrating to figure out lately. The cooler temperatures should eventually make the fish bite better. There has actually been a decent lipless crankbait bite going down on the main lake. To cash in on this bite, you need to use a Spro Aruku Shad 75 in old glory color on 20 lb. Sunline fluorocarbon. The best places to fish the bait are on grass points on the main lake. The grass has actually started dying back already, and in some of these places it may be underwater. This is where your electronics, especially a Navionics chip, will help you find humps and points. This time of year, the fish really just prefer a steady retrieve with the bait. Another pattern that is working well is to fish a spinnerbait in these same areas or a soft plastic jerkbait. A good spinnerbait to use is a 1/2 ounce Strikezone Lure Company Edgebuster spinnerbait in chartreuse/white or bumble bee. The best soft plastic jerkbait to use is a 6 inch Big Bite Baits Jerk Minnow in glow silver on a 6/0 EWG Gamakatsu Hook.
November 3, 2011
LAKE GEORGE IS DOWN 2.94 FEET, 72 DEGREES AND CLEAR
Bass fishing is fair and the fish are feeding. First thing in the morning go to the topwater grass bite and try the buzz bait and the Chatter Bait. Throw any colored frog especially at daylight and then at duck. Mid day go to the creek and river ledges with a deep running crank bait. Bass are feeding on threadfin shad around the ledges, and some sort of structure on the ledge really helps. If you cant get them on the crankbait, try fishing a big worm or a jig very slowly. There are a lot of small 12 to 14 inch fish out there and encouraged anglers to keep these small fish and eat them. Also try any small, shad imitating topwater bait. Concentrate on areas about halfway back in the creeks where the creek channel swings in against the bank. Look for shad and fish activity on the surface, and pay close attention to your electronics to help pinpoint key areas. Once the topwater bite is over, your best bet for numbers and quality fish is to throw a crankbait on shallow main lake and creek channel ledges in the 6 to 10 foot range. A Spro Little John MD in the spooky shad color will work where you find the bait balls.

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 3.13. FEET, 55 DEGREES & CLEAR BY COLLINS GUIDE SERVICE
Now available for sale 50 of my proven GPS waypoints for off shore structure for Bass and Crappie fishing on Weiss Lake, Alabama. E mail ken@havefunfishing.com
Bass fishing is good and a lot of largemouth bass have moved shallow in the coves and bays, look for any brush or stumps in 4 feet of water or less. Shallow running crank baits, spinner baits and Rat L Traps in shad patterns are working great. The spotted bass are on main lake points and humps, road beds and shallow river channel ledges, soft plastics like the Senko worm in green pumpkin with a chartreuse tail is catching a lot of good spots.
Striper fishing is fair and they are showing up in the main lake on river channel ledges 8-14 feet deep. Live Shad down lined and free lined, trolled slowly on the old Coosa river channel is producing best
Crappie fishing is good and a lot of larger crappie have shown up on the old river channel ledges in the main lake and Little River and the Chattooga River, spider rigging with minnows 12-14 feet deep is really producing some good fish with a lot of under size fish. Look for the fishing to really get hot over the next few weeks. The crappie have started moving away from the docks, but they are still holding a lot of smaller fish.
November 3, 2011
LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.16 FEET, 66 DEGREES, MOSTLY STAINED.
Bass fishing is good. The Texas rigs and the jig will work also. Try the Carolina rig in the brush and shorten the leader to about 12 inches. Be ready to quickly set the hook and pull the fish clear of the brush. Use the /16 ounce Stanley Rattlin jig with a Baby Brush Hog trailer on any man made brush pile on the docks. Some bass are beginning to school in deeper water down the lake and a Fluke will fool them. Depths are varying from 6 to 12 feet. Look for them on points, flats and humps. Try a .6 Flex It spoon in white or chartreuse prism. Fishing line should be easily visible to help see the bites as the spoon is falling vertically. Stren clear blue fluorescent in 10 to 14 pound test is a good choice. Other baits to try are a Carolina rig, Little George, and jigs. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.
November 3, 2011
LAKE OCONEE IS DOWN 2.28 FEET, 66 DEGREES AND CLEAR.
Bass fishing is good and the water is clear on the main lake and stained up the rivers. Bass have moved into the creeks and coves off the main lake. The main portion of the lake has a light stain or what we would call a good color to it. So a darker color worm would be the chose on this part of the lake. Fish the docks and wood structure in the coves and creeks. Lick Creek is loaded with bait and the bass are close by. Also fish a small crank bait by the docks and pick up a few fish as well. The Richland Creek arm of the lake is very clear. The fishing on this end of the lake is not as good as the main lake but there are still fish in the back of the creeks in 5 to 10 feet of water. To catch these fish you will need to down size your line and bait. Work the wood structure with a small Texas rigged worm.
Lake Oconee Line Side report brought to you by Mark Smith at Reel Time Guide Service. 404-803-0741. wwwreeltimeguideservice.com
Line side fishing is fair. Some fish are showing up in the usual fall locations. These locations are at River Bend and at the mouth of Richland Creek. The fish at Richland Creek are showing up around 20 to 30 ft deep. The best way to locate these fish is with your Lowrance. They will be under the large bait ball. Live bait is my first choose. You can also draw a strike with a spoon. The fish at river bend seam to prefer the live bait over the spoon. These fish are not as deep however the Lowrance is still the way to locate the fish. Sugar Creek has the Capt. Mac umbrella rigs in stock along with Okuma line counter reels and Okuma striper rods. They also have a complete line of Zoom baits on hand. If you like to see the Lowrance HDS units in action give me a call and I can show you how it works. You can have an on the water demo. 404-803-0741
Crappie fishing is good. The crappie are showing up in the middle of the major creek. Live bait is the best bet for loading the cooler. Use your Lowrance to locate the fish and drop a live shad down. Keep moving until you locate the fish. They are scattered all over the major creeks but when you find them they will feed.
November 3, 2011
JACKSON LAKE IS .89 FEET, CLEAR & 68 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. During mid day use the Stanley jigs in 3/8 or 1/2 ounce sizes in black and blue or all black. Be sure to add a Zoom salt pork trailer imitation and work the lure in and on the heavy cover. Work the lower lakes creeks and docks and pitch with a Texas rigged Culprit black shad worm. Use larger worms in dark colors and add the Real Craw scent. Cast a large dark Berkley Power ribbon tail worm in and around the docks. Work the backs of these docks as well as the bank cover and the sea walls on down lake. The upper rivers are slow and fish are tight in brush.

Yesterday, we collected probably the largest walleye anybody has ever seen in Georgia waters (picture attached). The behemoth walleye was 30-inches long and exceeded the capacity of our certified scales that weighs up to 12 lb. Using a Boga grip, the giant walleye weighed a hair over 12 lbs. In the spring, this huge female walleye will probably weigh 15 pounds! The fish was released unharmed and swam away with no apparent side effects from her ordeal.
This is the second 12 lb fish we have collected from Lake Seed. The first one was caught a couple of years ago during the spring spawning run. The fish was caught within 400 yards of dam and was situated in a downed tree top. Walleye love those downed trees!

Fishin with Capt. Gus! Striped Bass/Whats Next? 10-30-11
Daniel Burns of Matthews, NC maintain a Lake Norman spotted bass.
Fishin with Capt. Gus!
Striped Bass/Whats Following?
10-thirty-11
Traditionally, the month of November heralds the beginning of the winter season striped bass fishing period on Lake Norman. Unfortunately ample, what was when Lake Normans most common sport fish has all but disappeared. And, with its demise, the quantity of tourist money has declined significantly.
A appear at background reveals that Lake Norman was a favourite location for striper fishermen until finally the turn of the century. It was then that the fish population began to decline. In addition to 4 fish kills, a gill maggot infestation took a toll on more substantial fish, and the introduction of white perch reduced the survival fee of the annually stocked striper fingerlings.
As the 12 months following calendar year catch price declined, NCWRC did small to reverse the pattern, siting that laptop or computer applications calculated that the striper fishery would recuperate in 3 or four many years. It has been 8 years considering that the initial eliminate and all that has been carried out so much is to boost the 2011 stocking by 15,000 fingerlings. Assuming that if 10 p.c of survive, an extra one,500 stripers will attain the minimal creel size limit of sixteen inches. Even though a ten p.c survival rate is the norm, Lake Normans enormous population of hungry white perch will reduce that number considerably.
In accordance to Brian McRae, the NCWRCs Piedmont Fisheries Supervisor, the stocking options for 2012 are being seriously studied. 1 choice below consideration is to dietary supplement the stocking of striped bass with hybrids.
For people who dont know, a hybrid is a cross between a striper and a white bass. Hybrids have various names based on location. In Florida they are known as Sunshine Bass, and in Tennessee theyre referred to as Cherokee Bass (the name of the lake exactly where they had been initial stocked). In other areas of the nation they are known as Wipers, Whiterocks or simply, hybrids.
Fertilized by striped bass, the eggs from the female white bass are hatched and elevated in ponds. They increase speedily and usually reach weights of ten kilos or a lot more. The reality that hybrids are tolerant of substantial h2o temperatures (33 Celsius or 91 Fahrenheit), as well as very low ranges of dissolved oxygen (1 element for each million), make them a best match for Lake Normans intense setting. The fish are so hardy that they thrive in Floridas warmth and in modest impoundments throughout the south, wherever water circumstances are so bad that even largemouth bass have trouble surviving. In addition to the hybrids pattern of fast development, it fights with this kind of tenacity that it usually snaps fishing lines ine when hooked.
Guidelines from Capt. Gus: Hybrids swim in faculties just as their mother and father, the white bass and stripers do. Methods of fishing are equivalent. Simply adjust the tackle to match the size of the fish.
Upcoming Occasions:
A free safe and sound boating class on How to Navigate Norman when the Lake is Low will be held at North Level Watersports, 112 Doolie Street, Mooresville, NC 28117 on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Subjects for dialogue will consist of Understanding Lake Normans Channel Marker and Buoy System, Identifying and Understanding How to Steer clear of the Ten Most Risky Spots, and Safely Navigating In Low H2o Circumstances. For much more details, phone me @ 704-617-6812 or e-mail Gus@LakeNoman.com.
Scorching Spots of the Week:
Decrease water temperatures have activated bass, crappie and perch. Try top h2o baits for spotted bass in the south very hot hole and in back again coves and boat basins at dawn and dusk. Jigs, fished off points for the duration of the day and lighted docks after darkish, are creating large limits. Nice size crappie have moved to shallower drinking water. Very best bets are bridge pilings and submerged brush in water significantly less than fifteen ft deep. White perch are in coves to thirty ft and right after darkish are creating heavy limits.
The lake stage on Lake Norman is down about four.7′ from complete pond and down three.0′ on Mountain Island Lake. The drinking water surface area temperature is in the substantial sixties and lower seventies.
