Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters is holding up a nice size amberjack, which was caught at the Savannah Snapper banks. The amberjack sometimes referred to as the “reef donkeys” are very strong fighters. The fight starts at the first run and it doesn’t stop until the fish is landed. The term “reef donkeys” came about when it was decided that if you found a ledge with amberjack schooling in the upper water column you chances for getting to bottom without hooking up is very slim. In most cases this is a very good thing!!

Inshore fishing reports “Flounder Pounders!”

Attachment 209552

Even though the water temperatures have dropped inshore fishermen are still catching some nice flounder. The secret to getting this fish’s attention is to use some sort of live bait such as shrimp, finger mullet, or mud minnows. Put this bait on the bottom and wait until the cows or should I say fish come home!!

Attachment 209553

Captain Alan Collins of Miss Judy Charters catches and tags a lot of red fish!!

When the water gets colder the old red fish moves a little slow. I suggest looking for this fish in areas that the dolphins can’t get too. Places like the flooded marsh areas are great places for a red fish to feed. The secret is to get there before them.

The Toothy Wonder strikes again!

Attachment 209554

Dr. Brad Durham of Savannah, Georgia also known as “The toothy wonder” had a great inshore fishing day. His guest was Captain Alan Collins of Miss Judy Charters. As you can see from the picture they kept two nice flounder and 10 spotted sea trout. Now here’s what you need to know…this is only what they kept not what they caught! Now you know the rest of the fish catching story!!

Stripers and wipers

Attachment 209555

Photo by Captain Matt Williams

For those fishermen that like to fish cold waters your chances for catching stripers and wipers is a good one. The Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers are the best places to do a little scouting. The best baits can be anything from a buck tail jig to a live shrimp. To find a school of feeding fish I suggest that you let the diving birds be you guide!!

It’s time to on board!

Jelly fish and their friends

Attachment 209556

This moon jelly fish is really a floating cover for hundreds of small fish and shrimp. I know this isn’t a great picture, but I think you can see what I am talking about. It truly is amazing how shrimp, fish, and crabs ride with the jelly fish. I guess you could say, “This is how the small fish get where they are going without getting eaten by the bigger ones!”

Artificial Reefs

What are those that decide the faith of our fisheries doing?

Attachment 209557

Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters is holding up a nice black sea bass, which was caught while using fiddler crabs as bait. However, if I used a piece of cloth it wouldn’t have made any difference the black sea bass would have still bit my hook. Please know that the black sea bass season is closed and will not open until June 2012. The reason being is according to those that decide the faith of our fisheries have deemed that over fishing is occurring when it comes to black sea bass. It’s is my opinion as well as the opinion of my customers that there are so many black fish that it’s really unbelievable. We run 4 hour offshore trips, which take an hour to get to the fishing drop, which boils down to 2 complete hours of fishing. We normally catch 100 to 150 black sea bass, which are always properly released.

Please meet the Jarvis family catchers and releasers of 263 black fish

Attachment 209558

Attachment 209561

Making this run can certainly be interesting!

How many Mahi Mahi do you see in this picture? All of these dolphins have one thing in common “they are definitely not in a feeding mode.” The reason being is if they were “their lights would be on!” For those that don’t understand what I am talking about…here’s the short version…

When a dolphin also referred to as a Mahi Mahi get interested or start to feed all colors on this fish immediately show. As you can see in this photo these fish was all the standard color. However, as soon as these fish got interested the blue and yellow lights would have come on!

Blue water fishing

It’s cold, but the Gulf Stream is running at around 78 degrees. Yes, it’s a long run, but you really never know what you might catch. The best news about this time of the year especially when it comes to the blue water bite is “fish that are on the move are always hungry!”

Holiday Moonie Shine Recipe

Attachment 209563

According to my father the longer a moonshine tornado lasts in the jar the higher octane in regards to the contents. Once this mason jar of “who knows what proof moonshine” was spun around a few times this strong tornado appeared. However, if I went by my father tornado spinning equation I can only assume that this moonshine was close to 200 proof! My father’s granddaughter Cindy loves this stuff mixed with pink lemonade!!

Holiday Moonie Shine Recipe

I had a family on board the other day that came from a long line of Moonie shiners. In fact some of them had served short to long sentences in the big house for their unbelievable desires for making the drink. According to the said family none of this drink making was “for sale.” It was only for medicinal purposes. I’m sure you remember the television show, “The Beverly Hillbilly’s.” This show had a member of the family whose name was “Granny’s.” Doctor Granny used this so-called tonic for her special doctoring techniques. In fact while she was concocting her tonic she would be over come by all of the tasting. All of this tasting would often lead her to having to take lots of small afternoon siestas.

Back to the Fishing Charter

This particular family that charted my boat had a grandfather that spent time in the “big house” with “Big Al Capone.” The grandfather was in for bootlegging and we all know from our history books what “Big Al” was in for. The grandfather told his family that “Big Al” was no more than a “Big Sissy” behind bars. As we talked on the boat we all decided that it was only because he didn’t have his “Yes Men” behind bars with him. This group being from a long line of Moonie Shiners shared parts of their secret recipe with me. A part of the recipe was fine with me. I didn’t want to have anything that might get me put in the “big house.” As we talked, other parts of the family would put in their two cents worth. For instance, as soon as he started telling me about the main ingredient of oranges another stood up and said “Over Ripen watermelons” were better and easier to deal with. So therefore we started talking about watermelons. According to them you best bet for ripen watermelons is to go to the farmer market. Watermelon farmers are glad to sell you an over ripen truckload for $ 25.00. Now it also sounds like the farmer is part of this deal too. For the story sakes and the length that it could reach let’s say the needed fruit to start the shine is obtained, which is a truckload of watermelons. You will need to get your machete and shovel out. After splitting the melon with the big knife use you shovel to dig the meat out. The meat of the melon then is put in a 35-gallon can. Once you fill this up with melon, add pounds of sugar, some yeast, and then top off with water. You then need to cover these put together ingredients and store in a well-ventilated place. When the word well-ventilated place was mentioned all looked at me and said, “This is real important part of the process.” Your so-called “Mash” must be able to breathe. I didn’t ask, but I am sure that they meant that it might blow up if it was in a lock-down situation. As you can see this is a very dangerous. So I wouldn’t be trying this at home much less anywhere else.

Another story popped up!

One of my customers said, “That’s exactly how he got caught!” He was letting his ingredients work and then it happened. The room in which he had it in blew right off the trailer that it was attached too! His wife was so mad that she turned him for moon shine making!!

According to the professionals after a certain amount of time, which could be days or weeks only the maker knows for sure the mash is ready for stage two. It is then poured into a stainless steal tub, better known as an “old re-modified beer keg.” Before the invention of stainless steel kegs just plain old copper or steel pots were used.

Other Mash Secrets

All concurred that mash had a visible way of showing you when it was done. It seems that when all ingredients are mixed together in this 35-gallon trash can the ingredients gets to working. By working, as they explained, bubbles start rising to the surface. In fact when the mash really starts working you can hear the bubbles popping on the surface. This process goes from a few bubbles to multiple bubbles. Supposedly when the bubbles stop the mash is consider done and ready to work with. It’s still hard to believe that the hard stuff starts in this fashion!

Straining the Mash

Once they started talking about straining the mash I assumed that they would use a large colander, but I was wrong. They used “panty hose.” The fermented mash was poured into “NEW,” pair of panty hose. (Believe me I had to ask.) As the hose filled the liquid was drained off. This helped eliminated the core part of the watermelon. All they were interested in was the precious liquid.

It’s time to really cook the liquid mash

Once the now liquid mash was poured into the keg the top was sealed with the exception of this little coiled copper tube that came out of the top of the keg. This is supposed to be where the liquid is to escape. Back in the old day they would just make a fire with hot coals. However, in the new times a gas burner did the trick of cooking this stuff. As it cooks the liquid escapes through the copper tubing. A pot or a so-called “liquid catcher” is placed under the opening of the tubing. Here’s comes the technical part. I hope I got this information correct. You don’t want the liquid to come out to fast, because if it does this means that the “proof” of your drink will be not good enough. There is a basic rhythm to the drop of the shine. According to the persons telling the story it takes years to get this pace down. At any rate they luckily had the basic secret information passed down from their long line of moonie shiner maker ancestors.

First Proof

Here’s the fun part for the maker. As the liquid drains off the maker, which now becomes the tester has to be taste it periodically. The reason is a simple one. Once the liquid stop tasting like shine and starts tasting like water this is the sign that the cooking is over. The first cooking will probably yield at least 100 proof of so-called shine. However, to get it up a few notches you must run it throw the cooking process again. This only means more cooking, watching, and tasting. This second and probably third run though could yield up to 200 proof. This is also known a “Pure Rocket Fuel!” Any more processing and you might be putting yourself as well as your family and neighbors in harms way. According to the cooker two times is all you need, because you’re drinking it not using it for demolition!

Checking the Results

The best way to do it is to pour some into a small bowl, light it up, and watch it burn off. The flame tells you all you need to know about your cooking abilities. According to the story, the bluer the flame the higher the proof. Now in my father’s case this would have been a problem, because he was “color blind.”

There were other little things that they shared that I am sure are real important to the proper making process. However, I wanted you to read about it NOT MAKE IT!

All this talk brings back old childhood memories. I probably could have made a killing if I had saved all of the copper tubing that daddy kept in the old black house. I really never thought about it until this story was shared with me. I though that daddy just allegedly helped “Old Al” transport the goods not make it! You know what they say about history repeating itself. I will let you know how it all turns out!

Fishing Report December 9, 2011 Lahaina Harbor, Maui, Hawaii

Aloha from Lahaina Harbor, Maui, Hawaii. The fishing off the leeward side of Maui has not altered too much because the final report. Mahis are composing the bulk of the catch and a handful of tunas and onos have been thrown into the mix as nicely. The billfish bite has been on the sluggish side so some anglers have been electing to do some diverse varieties of fishing such as bottom fishing. The bottom has been generating a assortment of species such as nabeta, papio, and the occasional uku. If there are any concerns about the fishing, come to feel totally free to contact Deli in Commence Me Up’s Lahaina Harbor booth at 808-667-7879. An additional option is to e-mail startmeupfish@gmail.com. The rest of this report contains some of Commence Me Up’s anglers and their catch from the finish of November and the initial handful of days of December.


Andrew and TC Coatney had a enjoyable morning on the drinking water. They caught a 38 lb. ono on light tackle by dragging a live opelu on a downrigger. They also dropped bait to the bottom and caught a papio in addition to some inedible species.

Angler, captain, and crew recognized that catching such a nice ono on light tackle was not an every day event. For that reason, they took the time to get this colourful photograph.

The Degroots get together had their supper strategies manufactured for them when this mahi raced into the pattern of lures and ate the tremendous ninja lure on the small rigger.

This curious bull mahi made a decision to look into the boat as properly as the pattern of lures driving the boat. Vincent Abbas observed the possibility and did almost everything right to get his good bull mahi in the fish bag.

The Tonge loved ones wasn’t quite certain of what to expect from their very first offshore fishing excursion in Hawaii. They ended up not dissatisfied to return to Lahaina Harbor with a mahi.

Christina and Jim Kane ended up also newbies but they didn’t skip a defeat when their mahi ate a swimming bait. Right after trading in their tiny bait for a even larger fish, Christina wished to trade in the mahi for an even larger fish.

Whilst baiting for mahis, the Goetzfried team hooked a difficult shark. The shark set up a wonderful combat on light tackle prior to being efficiently launched.

Vick Fitzer is an avid fisherman who has fished all above the globe. He had a day to keep in mind right after singlehandedly catching this stringer of mahis on standup gear. In between the catch and the scenery on the north shore of Molokai, Vick certainly had a memorable day on the h2o.

Mahis are the most widespread fish to catch although utilizing natural bait at a FAD. Mary and Todd Dinzik used this tactic to catch a mahi of their very own. Mary and Todd also caught a snake mackerel, which transpires to be a quite scarce catch whilst fishing near the surface area.

The snake mackerel (Gempylus serpens) is named in accordance to its prolonged, slender body and sharp teeth. The fish are found in tropical and subtropical oceans all about the world. Adults, which expand to just around 3 ft extended, feed in the vicinity of the surface area at evening and move to depths of virtually two,000 ft during the day. Identified as h&#257uliuli in Hawaii, snake mackerel are eaten cooked or dried.

With constant motion in thoughts, Daniel and Michael Cary invested some time bottom fishing and brought up this uku and nabeta as portion of their catch. The relaxation of the catch was unveiled simply because the uku and nabeta could offer plenty of refreshing fish.

The boys had been thrilled about their wonderful uku so they took a small break from fishing to get this photograph.

This yellow spot papio, which was not desired for use, was tagged and released to battle another day.

Mindy and Amy Datena braved some less than excellent weather problems to chase mahis. Mindy and Amy had been rewarded for their perseverance with a mahi apiece.

Catching a fish is always entertaining, irrespective of the dimensions. This nice papio was caught on spinning tackle whilst bottom fishing off the coast of Lanai.

Captain Steve Carroll (middle) evidently cannot get sufficient of fishing. On a day off, he went out for exciting and caught a great bull mahi on incredibly light tackle.

Keith Maginn created the inside of operate and trolled above many inshore ledges and pinnacles. Fish have a tendency to aggregate around underwater structures and this ono was no exception. Keith’s ono grabbed a chrome jet running in the quick rigger situation as the lure passed more than an underwater pinnacle that was keeping some bait.

The within run also created for the Stuart group. They went out on a two hour trip and found a present line. Even though trolling along the existing line, a mahi bit a single of the lures and then two a lot more mahis ended up hooked by dropping back reside opelus. A few mahis on a two hour journey is really a good results.

Dragging reside bait resulted in an interesting triple bite. Jim Wilks and Fill Osborne emerged from the rapidly-paced situation with a fish apiece. A single of the fish was a nice cow mahi and the other was a massive kawakawa. Absolutely everyone was left wondering about what the third fish may have been.

Mike Busch’s mahi was not a massive 1, but the fish was big adequate to take some line, put up a battle, and provide dinner.

Gary and Sara Thomas were joined by Phillip Hinds in catching these mahis. Yet again, these fish have been not massive but they ended up nevertheless fun.

There was a flash of blue and silver around the surface and then this mahi commenced reducing by means of the drinking water in pursuit of the lure jogging in the lengthy rigger situation. Only a moment afterwards, the fish was hooked up and Rueben Krippner acquired occupied. Rueben introduced his mahi to the boat and watched the fish adjust color, darkening to yellow and green.

This mahi was the excellent fish for angler Jared Hall. As a younger angler, Jared will certainly don’t forget this catch and will continue being fascinated in fishing for several many years to arrive. Way to go Jared!

The Haweks group had some poor luck and missed a pair of bites. Nonetheless, they remained persistent and caught this great cow mahi. The sting of lacking a few of fish is lessened when these fish have been little in comparison to the 1 that ended up on the boat.

These anglers discovered a huge bait school in an location that looked promising. Soon after functioning the region to no avail, the anglers determined to break out the light tackle and catch some tunas for entertaining. The tunas ended up also enjoyed as sashimi.

The deckhand could not resist placing out the Maui Fishin lure identified as minor boy blue. Only minutes following minor boy blue strike the water, Linnea Pasternak was hooked up with her mahi. At present, Linnea’s favourite fishing lure is tiny boy blue.

According to angler Danielle Garcia, this 29 lb. mahi was full of vigor. Luckily, Danielle had lots of encouragement from her husband Matt.

Thank you for using a search at this Start Me Up fishing report. Any questions can be directed towards Deli at 808-667-7879 or startmeupfish@gmail.com.

LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 12.44 FEET, THE BACKS OF CREEKS ARE STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR & 56 DEGREES.

This Lake Lanier Bass report is from Jim Mathley, www.jimboonlanier.com 770 542 7764

Spotted bass fishing is good. We have been focusing on pockets and points near the mouths of the creeks as well as steeper main lake rocky banks and points in the lower lake for the majority of our fish. The visible schooling activity has decreased some this week and the fish in the lower lake are relating more strongly to the cover than last week. There have been some very good fish pulling up shallow at times and can be caught with jerk baits, crankbaits, jigs, as well as a Fish Head Spin. Windblown main lake rocky points as well as secondary rocky points next to deep water seem to be the ticket to find these shallow fish. There are still fish out deep relating to the timber, and these fish can be caught on a spoon or drop shot. The timber is your best bet for numbers of fish right now, but the size of most of those fish is two pounds or less. When searching for these fish, use your Lowrance electronics to identify subtle structure changes. Where there is bait, there is or will soon be fish. A consistent big fish bite should occur in and around the timber in deep water as the water temperature continues to decline. As always, once you find a creek, pocket, or main lake area holding bait and 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, you may return again later and enjoy further success in the same area.

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 good. The colder temperatures this week has not made a significant difference in the fishing. We continue to have two patterns. There is still a down rod bite on the South end of the lake in the creek mouths. Use your Lowrance Structure Scan to find these fish and drop baits to them on down rods. Trout, Gizzard Shad and Herring are all working. The key difference is with Herring you will also pick up a few spotted bass. There is also a bite half way back in the creeks on flats and long sloping points. The key continues to be bait. Target the creeks with a high concentration of bait and focus on nearby flats and points. Start out early with a "spread" of planner boards, free lines and hang a couple of down lines over the side. Vary the distance of your baits behind the boards; keeping the bank side planner boards shorter than the deep water side. I usually start with a trout and Gizzards on the outside boards and herring on the inside boards and behind the boat. After the first couple of hours move to deeper water and weight your baits with a couple of split shots. Keep your eyes open for diving birds and ensure you have a Captain Mack’s 1/2 ounce bucktail with a trailer tied on to cast. Flowery Branch, Mud, Orr and Flat creek are good places to start. On the north end of the lake try Ada, Gainesville, Little River and Wahoo creeks. Check with US Army Corps of Engineers web site to find a list of the ramps that are open before going out. Due to the low lake level a significant number of ramps are closed.

WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 12.34 FEET, STAINED & 54 DEGREES BY CHRIS BELL

Bass fishing has been great. This is the time to catch a lot of fish. Numbers are easy to catch with the cooler temperatures and low water. Lake conditions right now are really low. Use extreme caution when navigating the lake right now. With the lower water stay within channel markers when navigating areas that you are not familiar with. The best ramps still available are located at Yellow Jacket Creek access. These conditions although difficult to run have made for some great winter time offshore fishing. Learn to use the Lowrance Structure Scan Down Scan technology with the new Generation 2 machines. Catching thirty plus fish a day is very possible. The two best baits are a jigging spoon and drop shot rig. For a jigging spoon use silver or gold half ounce jigging spoons. On sunny days use silver and cloudy days switch to gold. For drop shot rigs use a number one Gamakatsu drop shot hook tied eighteen inches above a quarter ounce drop shot weight. Locate bait offshore in depths eighteen to twenty feet of water. Fish are positioned on structure relating to the main river channel. Once you have located fish stay put as catching numbers is very possible.

Hybrid and striper fishing is great. There are two patterns dominating right now. You can catch fish by down lining live shad on humps and rod beds. If fish have scattered from offshore structure switch to trolling medium depth crankbaits such as a Bomber Fat Free shad in a shad pattern. Troll baits near the main river channel. As you begin trolling these areas look for bait that is grouped up and fish will not be far behind them.

Crappie fishing has been fair. Trolling has begun to pick up a little this week. Troll a 1/8 ounce Poor Boys black chartreuse curly tail jig. Troll these baits in the ten to twelve feet range going into creeks such as Half Moon and White Water creeks.

December 8, 2011

LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 11.59 FEET, 60 DEGREES AND CLEAR

This bass fishing report is from Matt Driver 404-456-6094 www.proanglerradio.com

Bass fishing is fair and we do not think the rain we had will change a lot. The crank bait bite is one of the best things going. Cover lots of water in the 5 to 10 range with something like a little John mid running CB. Fish are a little scattered right now and are more tight to cover after the cold front. Even thought the water is still in the low 60’s there is a pretty good drops hot bite mid like. Fish the drop shot in the 15 foot range in the mouth of creeks between red top and Bartow carver. Fishing should get better when the cooler air sets in.

This Lake Allatoona Fishing Guides Report Is Bought To You By Robert Eidson Of First Bite Guide Service. www.firstbiteguideservice.com 770 827-6282

Line side fishing is good. The rain we had again earlier this week as really stain the north end of the lake. This really didn’t hurt our fish because we were not spending that much time north of the S turns any way. There are fish in the S-Turns but mostly white bass. The umbrella rig bite is starting to be the best over all bite on the lake. Free lines and planner boards are working early in the morning and then again right before dust. But end between sun up and sun down the umbrella bite is king. There is a down rods bite buy nothing like the umbrella bite. We caught most of our fish again this week on our umbrella rigs then using live bait and that is about norm for most of the winter. We are targeting the flats from the S turns all the way up to Clear Creek. We are not fishing in the Allatoona arm right now. There’s a ton of fish moving up on flats and points to feed on small threadfin. Catch them on jigging spoons or Rooster Tails if you can get them deep enough. Fish these baits at 10 to 12 feet deep. The flats off Gault’s have been good, as well as the island at Harbor Town and Bartow Carver. Seagulls are starting to show up. Key on birds and topwater and have a Super Fluke, Sammy or Zara Spook ready. Pull flat lines and planer boards, and later in the mornings pull a lighter three arm umbrella rig.

December 8, 2011

LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 8.75 FEET, CLEAR & 58 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair and there is a little colored up in the creeks and rivers this week. The cold winds and the cold fronts slowed the fishing down a little. Jigging spoons over suspended bass early and then slow retrieves with a suspending jerk bait are fair. Finding the bass is easy but staying put in the wind might be a little difficult. Carolina rigged worms and Zoom mini lizard in green pumpkin would be your better choice during the windy days but be sure to use a larger plain egg sinker and 0ne ounce would be best. The Rapala DT16 will work on the suspended bass. Downsize your tackle during the winter months. Eight pound test line might just be that added edge you are looking for. The “Bass Fishing Lake Hartwell” guide is for sale. Ask for a free sample via e mail. Lake levels are from www.lakelevels.info/?StateID=GA

December 8, 2011

CLARKS HILL IS DOWN 10.75 FEET, 57 DEGREES & STAINED

Bass fishing is fair after the cold front and the heavy rain. The blue back herring are now being found in large schools all over the lake now and the Bass are getting fat in preparation for the cold Winter months ahead. Be prepared to fish a lot slower this week and down size your baits will improve your chances. With the cold weather, try the Number 4 RS Shad Rap and nothing bigger than a Number 5 Jointed Shad Rap. Bass will move up along the banks during cold weather just after mid day. Use the Sufix Elite 10 pound test line and these baits coupled with a good fiberglass cranking rod draw some bigger bass. Try the combination and head up in the rivers and use a slow stop and go retrieve. You may need to make a lot of casts and cover a lot of water. The results can be the best and biggest bass this month.

December 8, 2011

LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 2.44FEET, CLEAR & 59 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair and the rain and strong winds hit did slow the fishing. Beaverdam Creek is showing some good colored water along with the area off the Savannah River north. Some bass are still holding tight to cover in ten to twelve foot of water, while others choose to suspend out on the main lake. Jigging spoons will work on the suspended bass, but picking apart the heavy cover with jigs and tubes will catch those stubborn bass. Don’t forget to fish all the Rip Rap Rock you can find along with the large rocky points. DT10’s bouncing off the rocks will trigger the more active fish to strike. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.

December 8, 2011

LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN ONE FOOT, CLEAR, 57 DEGREES BY MATT BATY

Bass fishing is good and there is a good lipless crankbait bite going on right now. Look for shallow grass flats in about 4 to 5 feet of water and throw a Spro Aruku Shad 75 in Old Glory or the chrome and black pattern. Sometimes the fish will be on top of the flat and the trap will catch them, but sometimes the fish will be on the edge of the flat in a little bit deeper water. A great way to catch them is to throw a Stanford Medium Razor Shad in Summer Color. Another pattern that is really turning on is flipping main lake grass lines. When flipping, look for about 7 to 8 feet of water and use 1 ounce weights, 5/0 Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Worm hooks, a Snell Knot, and a 6" Big Bite Baits Kreit Kreature in watermelon and green pumpkin. Learn how to use the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology with Southern Fishing “On the Water” fishing schools.

December 8, 2011

LAKE GEORGE IS DOWN 2.95 FEET, 60 DEGREES AND CLEAR

Bass fishing is good and now is a good time to fish visible stump filled flats, creek flats and main lake drop offs or around islands. Use the crank baits along weed lines, plastic worms, lizards, tube baits or topwater lures in and around the lily pads. Also, any point with wood, weed and rock cover should be fished hard with a variety of lures, in many ways. Fish with spinnerbaits right up in the lily pad fields. Frog imitations are very weedless and one of the best lures in early winter around lily pad fields. There are loads of schooling bass in open water situations that can now be fooled on jerk baits, swimbaits, crankbaits and lipless lures. Keep a top water bait rigged and ready.

December 8, 2011

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 4.63 FEET, 51 DEGREES & STAINED 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 fair and the fish have started moving to a deeper winter pattern. Some bass are being caught on rip rap rocks on jigs. A Carolina rig is working well for the deeper fish on main lake points and ledges.

Crappie fishing is fair and the fish are starting to bite again on the old river ledges in 8 to 16 feet of water. Spider rigging with live minnows is producing and the float and fly is also producing well

December 8, 2011

LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.36 FEET, 62 DEGREES, MOSTLY STAINED.

Bass are moving to the points and creek bends down lake and are tight on cover. Down lake, use the Rattle Back 1/2 ounce jig and a larger Pro Pork Trailer by Uncle Josh, on the heavy cover. The crank bait and spinner baits cast on the bank cover and slowly worked will get strikes. Later in the day, spinner baits down lake in the creeks are fair, just work bank cover. Stanley spinner baits with bright blades will draw shallow strikes as the bass move to the creek banks and points during the day. The Zoom water melon seed lizards on a Carolina rig, has been good later each day. Also on creeks on old channels, use a Culprit red shad worm on a Texas rig with the brass and glass combination. Work baits right on the bank around any cover. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.

December 8, 2011

LAKE OCONEE IS DOWN 1.75 FEET, 60 DEGREES AND CLEAR.

Lake Oconee Line Side report brought to you by Mark Smith at Reel Time Guide Service. 404-803-0741. wwwreeltimeguideservice.com

Bass fishing is fair. There is a light stain on main lake, stained up the rivers. With the drop in air temperatures this week the fishing has slowed some. The fish are still in the middle to the back of the creeks and coves, as is the bait. The buzz bait bite is gone for now. It is time to switch to a spinnerbait. Work the structure in the creeks with a white spinner bait in the clear water and a chartreuse spinner bait in the stained water. As the water temp drops slow down your retrieve. The smaller crank baits are still producing some fish from under the docks. When you contact the dock supports stop your bait for a few seconds some times this will trigger a strike. It jig bite is just around the corner so be ready when the water temp drops.

Line side fishing is good to excellent. Keep an eye out for the birds as they are starting to show up. The fish have shown up this past week from the 44 bridge to the dam. The early morning bite has been off of the charts most days. If Georgia Power is moving water you can run out of bait fast. The fish are starting to school. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools. When you find the fish drop the live bait to them. Down lines are out producing the flat lines this week. A always keep an umbrella rig ready for a change of pace. This is also the time of year that the spoon bite is very strong. Always keep several spoons ready and will fish them with the live bait. Now would be a good time to take a child fishing. Sugar Creek has the Capt. Mac umbrella rigs in stock along with Okuma line counter reels and Okuma striper rods and a complete line of striper gear. Just in they have Captain Mac’s spoons and crappie jigs for the winter season. If you like to see the Lowrance HDS units in action give me a call and we can show you how it works. You can have an on the water demo. 404-803-0741. Make plans to attend the Atlanta Boat show January 12-15. Come to the fish tank and say Hi.

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. The spider rig bite should start up in the next few weeks.

December 8, 2011

JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN 3.26 FEET, LIGHT STAIN & 60 DEGREES

Bass fishing has been fair with the cold weather and runoff. Use the Rattle Back black and blue or all black 1/2 ounce jig and a larger Pro Pork Trailer by Uncle Josh on the heavy cover. The bass are tight in cover and the Zoom lizards in pumpkinseed colors is barely fair. In the creeks on points close to the current use the dark jig and pig combination fishing tight in any cover on the bank as far out as 15 feet. Use some Real Craw scent and use it often casting to the same location. Cast a perch Storm Thunder Stick jerk bait and add the suspend dots and make the bait suspend on any retrieve. Pull the bait by and wood or dock and let it sit there and beg for a strike.
