January 20, 2012
LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 10.25 FEET, THE CREEKS ARE SLIGHTLY STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR & 50 DEGREES.
Bass fishing is good. The water level has remained steady over the past week and is now starting to rise again slightly after the recent rains. The water temperature has dropped to the 50 degree mark, but should be back on the rise with more warm weather on the way. Our focus over the last week has continued to be the creek channel ditches which are present throughout the lake and range from shallow to deep depending on the location. We have been working the ditches from 5 feet deep all the way out to 40 feet deep. When we are out deeper, we are focusing on the ditches with isolated timber and using either a spoon jigged vertically or a jig worked VERY slowly through the timber. We have caught the shallow fish on shaky head worms, jigs, crank baits, jerk baits, and the Fish Head Spin. The shallow fish seem to be the best and most available during periods of sunny weather, while the cloudy weather pushes the bait and fish deeper. If there is wind blowing, fish your moving baits where the wind is the strongest and most direct into the bank and use a very slow retrieve with any of the above baits. When using the jerk bait, make sure to impart long pauses between your twitches. Don’t expect to get many bites, but the ones you get will be quality. Look for secondary points in the mouths of creeks that offer clay and rock that are close to deep water. When searching for the deeper fish in the creek channels and ditches, use your Lowrance electronics to identify subtle structure changes to include creek ditch depressions. Where there is bait, there is or will soon be fish. 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 and perhaps at different depth.
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 very good. Find the large continuous strings of bait half way back in the creek channel and fish there. This has been the key for the last several weeks and will continue as long as the water temperatures stay in the mid to high 40’s. Once the temperature drops to 45 degrees the fish will be locked in on small baits. If you can throw the net get some Threadfin Shad and use those. If not, downsize your baits to medium shiners, trout fingerlings and small herring. The down rod bite just over the bait has been the ticket this week. Keep your eyes open for birds and follow their lead. If they are diving at bait and you can get to the fish before they disperse, throw a Mack Farr 1/2 ounce buck tail with a small fluke trailer. You can also use a spinning rod to toss a small herring or threadfin on a weighted float into the center of the activity. Keep your bait about three feet below the float. If the birds are actively searching an area, set out a spread with baits 40 feet behind your boards, free lines 80 to 100 feet back and a couple down rods. Try both weighted and non weighted free lines. Use the umbrella rigs to quickly search an area. When the sun gets up your best bet is to switch to down rods over bait half way back in the creeks. Remember to keep your hook size matched to the size of your bait. Balus and Flat creek are good places to start on the south end. On the north end try Johnson Creek, Lathem Creek, Wahoo Creek and Little River. We teach ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for SONAR and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for details. Call for details.

WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 5.84 FEET, DIRTY & 52 DEGREES BY CHRIS BELL
Bass fishing has been good. Patterns have remained consistent this week with continuous cool evenings and periodic rain. Offshore hotspots on spotted bass have continued to produce with drop shot rigs and jigging spoons. If largemouth are your focus you are going to need to cover a lot of water with shallow crank baits and spinnerbaits. Look for red clay points and rocky banks with sunlight on them most of the day. Most of these points and banks will be north eastern shorelines. Make long casts with crank baits and spinnerbaits on the shallow end of points. Slowly reel baits making sure to keep continuous contact with the bottom. The best crank baits are a Bomber 4A and Bandit 200 series in a red craw pattern. Spinnerbait patterns can be limited to a ½ ounce War Eagle white with double willow leaf blades gold and silver.
Hybrid and striper fishing is great. Fish have positioned on top of humps and road beds. Using live shad dropped down to schools of fish is working the best. Use your depth finders to locate fish. You may have to check multiple areas before locating fish with the recent changes in water levels.
Crappie fishing has been great. Crappie are beginning to show up mid way in pockets on cover and points. For your trolling bite troll Jiffy jigs in a black chartreuse pattern to depths of ten to twelve feet. Whenever cover is present in the way of brush piles and lay downs will hold multiple crappie this time of year. Use live minnows down lined to depths ten to twelve feet in and around cover
January 20, 2012
LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 11.93 FEET, STAINED AND 52
This bass fishing report is from Matt Driver 404-456-6094 www.proanglerradio.com
Bass fishing has been fair and the fish are still all over the water column. Run and gun with baits like the Spro 95 McStick and fish it quickly like you would in the early fall. Fish are really scattered. Spinner baits, and lipless crank baits are also good choices. The jig head bite is pretty good right now but could be better if we get a drop of a few degrees. With the weather being up and down be prepared to adjust day by day. Its still hard to beat a Shakey head with a Zoom green finesse worm lake wide in and around docks and any brush. For the larger bass, get the jigs out and add a small Zoom pork imitation and make all the colors all black or black and blue combinations.
This Lake Allatoona Fishing Guides Fishing Report Is Bought to You by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service 770 827-6282 www,firstbiteguideservice.com.
Line side fishing is good and the hybrids and stripers are concentrated mid lake from the S turns to Bartow Carver and on the river channel between Kellogg Creek and Victoria. Early in the morning, flat lines and planer boards are getting hammered. Trout and shad seem to be working equally well. The down line bite should also produce, and the fish are anywhere from 18 to 35 feet. The best bite is on umbrella rigs once the sun gets up, though. My clients have been catching very good numbers on an umbrella rig pulled 80 to 100 feet behind the boat with chartreuse jigs and trailers. He said to pull the edges of the river and creek channels and to expect bites when you start marking the huge clouds of baitfish. Also, be sure to keep something tied on for the schooling fish. When you see gulls diving, youll find hybrids and stripers pushing bait up. Fish this schooling action fish with a white Rooster Tail, fluke or Spook.

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 can be tight in cover and the Zoom lizards in pumpkinseed colors is 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. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.
January 20, 2012
LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 2.99 FEET, CLEAR & 53 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair and the weather is still cold and then warm. For a bigger fish, use a 1/2 ounce Enticer Back black and blue and a larger Pro Pork Trailer by Uncle Josh on the heavy cover. Find thick brush piles on points as they will hold bass. The Ito Vision 110 in the shad pattern and a small Fat Free shad are fair as the water warms later in the day. Start out using worms and jigs worked slowly. The Zoom smoke red u tail worm in the brush using a Texas rig with light sinker will draw a few strikes. Crank baits are better in the creek and bright perch or bream colors are fair. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.
January 20, 2012
LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN ONE FOOT, CLEAR, 55 DEGREES BY MATT BATY
Bass fishing is fair and the fish are on the points and creeks bends. Look down lake on creek bends and up in creeks. Find the clearest water possible in the creeks. Use the Culprit green shad worms on the points as tight as possible. In the Spring Creek area use a floating Rapala with a gold side and black back and work it slowly around grass beds. Frogs are still working just be sure to use a braid. Try the Culprit worm in dark colors over the grass and wood cover. Fishing is better later each day as the water warms. Finesse worms floated over grass beds or a u tail worm in dark colors, can work after the sun is up. Use a light 1/16 lead weight on the edges of the grass. Learn how to use the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology with Southern Fishing On the Water fishing schools.

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 5.20 FEET, 45 DEGREES & STAINED
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 moved 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. Very few largemouth are being caught, most all are spots. Little River and the Chattooga River are producing some great spot fishing with a lot of 2 to 4 pound fish, a drop shot rig with a 4 inch craw or a mini fluke, is working awesome on most any deeper, rocky river channel ledge in Little River. The smaller spots are up shallow on the rocks and the larger spots are on the deeper parts of the ledge 10 to 16 feet deep, look for the bigger fish right in the middle of the channel.
Crappie fishing is good and the fish are starting to move in to the deeper water of the creeks and bays on a pre spawn pattern. Little spring Creek is producing some great Crappie fishing, long line trolling with 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jigs in colors JJ 08, JJ 13, JJ 17, JJ 25, JJ 37 in 6 to 12 feet of water, a float and fly is also working well in the stumps and flats in Little Spring Creek. The bays near Riverside are producing some Crappie long line trolling also. The crappie bite is good and we are catching a lot of mixed sized fish from 8 to 13 inches. Look for the bite to really get good with any warming trend that comes in over the next few weeks.
January 20, 2012
LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.30 FEET, 54 DEGREES, MOSTLY STAINED.
Bass fishing is slow and the smaller fish are all that you can count on. Fish the main and up lake points with the cooler weather. Depths can be from 4 to 15 feet and the cold front and high skies put them tight on cover. Worms and a Texas rig using a Zoom u tail in smoke and red tight on bank structure can draw strikes. The Stanley 3/8 ounce jig in the black and blue and black and browns is a good choice. Be sure to add the Uncle Josh #11 matching dark pork trailer. Later each day up in creeks, the bass will bite crank baits in fire tiger and crawfish. A slight stain in the water is an advantage during a warm up later each day. Bomber 7As cast right on the bank, can produce strikes just work lures slowly on 10 pound test line for better action and depth. Also creek points and deep docks are good locations, and run the lures under and around these docks. Main lake points in the deeper waters around any of the stands of trees using a 1/2 ounce Hopkins spoon, is starting to work. Locate man made brush piles and work spoons over the brush as well as the brush on the old docks. We teach ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for SONAR and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for details. Call for details.
January 20, 2012
LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 48 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair and the main lake is clear, stained up the rivers. Winter is here so it is time to think jigs. Black blue jigs under docks and around wood structure. Work these jigs slowly the fish are in the winter mood and they like things slow. The bite will be very soft so stay in contact with your line. Any change the feel of the bait and it is time to set the hook. It is also time for spoon jigging off of the main lake points and around the humps on the south end of the lake. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools of fish staging on the side of the points and humps and drop your Capt. Macks spoon down to the fish. If the water is clear use a shad pattern for your spoon if it is stained then switch to a chartreuse shad pattern.
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 good. The stripers and hybrids continue to bite down near the dam. These fish are after smaller baits. We have cut down the size of the umbrella rigs. You can take the trailers and cut about an inch off of them and this will down size your rigs. Live bait is also producing. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools of bait and drop your bait in the schools. The Stripers may not show on the Lowrance but they are close to the bait. Keep a Capt. Mac spoon tied on. There are times that it will out produce the live bait.
Crappie fishing is good. The fish are in the middle of most creeks and big coves. Spider rigging is working as well as finding the fish on your Lowrance and dropping live bait to them. Tip you jig with a minnow to increase your bite. Lick Creek has been out producing most of the other creeks. I will be starting my crappie trips this month. Give me a call and we will try and fill your cooler with big slabs. Remember to stop by Sugar Creek Marina for all your bass, crappie and striper needs. They have Capt. Macks umbrella rigs in stock along with the Capt. Mack spoons, and all the crappie jigs you can use. Call about our ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for SONAR and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass.

Use the darker red colors in all worms and lizards and shad crank baits are good casting them right on the banks. Early and late each day, use a bubble gum Zoom trick worm on the wood and even rip rap on bridges. The bass bite better later in the day, on the grass lines or the rip rap on bridges. On main lake points a 3/8th ounce Stanley sinner bait is good and cast to any stumps. During the middle of the day, the river bass are fair on a larger Gilraker worm and fish them right on the bank cover.

Keep Fishermen Fishing Rally in DC – March 21, 2012
Make sure you get the word out. The foundation-funded stooges have already began their offensive focused on the "Magnuson’s okay as it is and the fishing is great" fantasy. We need your help and your determination to counter them. We never have their bucks, but we have the truth on our side and do not have to resort to deceit.

U.S. Coastal Fishermen to Rally in DC March 21
Keep Fishermen Fishing Organizers Unite to Correct Federal Fisheries Regulation
In another historic demonstrate of solidarity, U.S. recreational and business fishermen will collect beside the U.S. Capitol on
March 21, 2012 in an organized demonstration supporting the amendment of the Magnuson Stevens Fisheries Conservation
and Conduite Act (Magnuson Act). Signed into regulation in 1976, in modern several years the Act has been transformed from its first
intent, to conserve our nations fish and help our nations fishermen, into a weapon used by a handful of megafoundations
and the anti-fishing ENGOs they support to drive fishermen off the h2o.
A rally on February 24, 2010, under a United We Fish banner, brought some 5,000 recreational, industrial and
social gathering/charter vessel owners and people in linked businesses from all above the country to Washington. More than two dozen
users of the Senate and the Property of Reps took time out from their hectic schedules to tackle the crowd.
The March 21 rally is being billed as Preserve Fishermen Fishing, and once once more will unite the commercial, and recreational
sectors below a single frequent concept: honest accessibility to the seas.
The preliminary Washington rally was a monumental good results that assisted put the plight of Americas coastal fisherman and these in
related businesses in the manifeste eye. Even so, a constant stream of regulatory specifications are major to needless and
unacceptable restrictions in demonstrably sustainable fisheries.
As a consequence, the American general public is getting denied entry to the foods and fun of this tremendous all-natural useful resource.
Most U.S. fisheries are in better form biologically than theyve been for a era or far more. In simple fact, very last yr NOAA
Fisheries experts announced that 84% of U.S. fish shares researched for fishing exercise ended up not experiencing overfishing as of
2010. Nonetheless, despite the weighty sacrifices on the component of coastal fishermen, the same federal company in cost of managing
the source has been employing a broken legislation to mete out broken claims upon these constituents to ratchet down rules as
fisheries continue to rebuild.
In December 2011, the House Organic Sources Committee held a hearing in which many pieces of laws to reform
Magnuson were seen and debated, delivering sufficient proof that coastal communities are suffering from the excess weight of above
burdensome regulation owing to the rigid statutory definitions published into the federal fisheries regulation.
As was the situation in 2010, we are anticipating groundwork-funded ENGO lobbying disguised as a grass-roots fishermens effort
aimed at marginalizing our Maintain Fishermen Fishing rally. The message that they will be relaying to Congress is that really
conservation-minded recreational, business and social gathering/charter fishermen entirely support the Magnuson Act as it is right now and
oppose any efforts to amendment it. The definitely conservation-minded fishermen wont be these walking the halls of Congress
hoping to offer their anti-fishing message due to the fact of foundation/ENGO funding, theyll be the folks who are there on their possess
dime and who are dedicated to returning to a federal fisheries conduite program that acknowledges that they and the fishing
communities they support are as essential as the fish are.
Last details of the 2012 Keep Fishermen Fishing rally are being place in spot, like transportation from coastal
communities throughout the place.
For details on how you can get concerned in the national rally to aid Preserve Fishermen Fishing, get in touch with 888-564-6732. For
more information on the rally as it gets accessible, including bus signal-up information and details from the 2010 rally, pay a visit to

Fishing Report January 17, 2012 Lahaina Harbor, Maui, Hawaii
John and Spence ended up thrilled about tagging and releasing a striped marlin in the waters in the vicinity of Lanai. The striped marlin was Spences 1st billfish. Excellent likely Spence!
The Pitts family from Alabama spent their early morning fishing off the island of Lanai, wherever the striped marlin have been coming up. The striped marlin were elusive that early morning but the Pitts household did catch a mahi rather.
Not astonishingly, Hank and Tanya Graham fished Lanai in hopes of working throughout some striped marlin. Hank and Tanya imagined they hooked a single when the long gone Ahi P took off around the Lanai lighthouse. The fish turned out to be a mahi, which was fine with Hank and Tanya.
Even though trolling alongside the coastline of Maui, Jeremy Cook hooked a wonderful kawakawa. The inshore tuna set up an entertaining fight on mild tackle.
This mahi nearly shook the hooks following heading aerial on the strike. Robert Vanbavel, even so, did a great job maintaining the line tight. Stress on the line kept the hooks firmly in place and Roberts mahi wound up on the boat.
Mike Gardner and Waleed Ahsam ended up kept busy while fishing the north shore of Maui on an early departure excursion. Mike and Waleed took benefit of the sunrise bite to catch some tunas and a number of mahis.
Karen Grant produced the most of her opportunity to catch a fish when this mahi darted guiding the boat and hit the long rigger lure.
Erald and Gena Kikenny had a exciting excursion alongside with their companion dog Nace. Nace served by barking encouragement while the mahi and tuna have been on the line.
This mahi was intent on consuming and tried using to swallow the lure running on the lengthy corner. The tables have been turned when Andy Geres introduced the mahi to the boat and immediately iced his catch so that the meat would remain fresh.
Nathan, Tyler, and Mike Martin headed for the horizon and fished driving Lanai. They caught a pair of mahis although trolling in the slides region on the backside of Lanai.
Seth caught an ono while trolling above Mauis inside ledges and pinnacles. The underwater structures draw in bait fish which in turn attract predatory fish that are specific by fishermen.
Andrew Huffman was also privileged adequate to catch an ono throughout the wintertime. Andrews fish, as is typical for winter season onos, was a wonderful one particular and tipped the scales at 32 lbs.
These anglers set forth a whole lot of effort and completed the day with a mixed bag of fish. They caught a few great mahis and an ono. They also caught a tiny tuna for sashimi.
Travis Wilson made short work of this mahi, which he hooked although operating the place about LA buoy.
As her smile suggests, this mahi produced the trip for Melissa Barnes.
The Kallis team fished tough and returned to Lahaina Harbor with a few of mahis for their efforts.
Versatility translated into fish for Invoice Kirchner and Ryan Blum. One fish struck an synthetic lure whilst the other was hooked on a lifeless opelu. When 1 approach stops doing work, acquiring one more selection is always wonderful.
Dylan McKee sprung into action when this mahi came streaking in on the Ahi P lure operating in the quick rigger situation. Dylans speedy response helped place the mahi in the fish bag.
There have been some onos biting out in the deep drinking water. Calvin Dycks received in on the motion when his ono pounced on the lure jogging furthest guiding the boat.
Dave Dabruzzi and Mike, Daniel, and Connor Jost ventured to the north shore of Maui. Their journey paid out off as they caught some tunas at a FAD, which includes a single that obtained little bit by a shark even though staying reeled to the boat. They got a simple mahi bite while trolling and managed to get 3 much more mahis by dropping again purely natural baits. On resuming the troll they instantly hooked an ono. The ono and the mahis indicated that a piece of floating debris was in the water close by, but trolling and looking for the flotsam did not make any a lot more bites.
Many thanks for checking out this Commence Me Up fishing report. Any concerns can be directed in the direction of Deli at 808-667-7879 or startmeupfish@gmail.com. There are presently some great catches that will be included in the up coming report and hopefully there will be an abundance of great fish caught in the around future. Very good luck and restricted lines to everybody out there in pursuit of the fish.
Aloha,

They got a single mahi bite while trolling and managed to get a few much more mahis by dropping back again purely natural baits. On resuming the troll they quickly hooked an ono. The ono and the mahis indicated that a piece of floating particles was in the water nearby, but trolling and searching for the flotsam did not make any a lot more bites.
Many thanks for checking out this Commence Me Up fishing report. Any questions can be directed toward Deli at 808-667-7879 or startmeupfish@gmail.com. There are already some wonderful catches that will be incorporated in the up coming report and hopefully there will be an abundance of wonderful fish caught in the around potential. Very good luck and restricted lines to every person out there in pursuit of the fish.

LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 10.71 FEET AND THE BACKS OF CREEKS ARE STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR & 50 DEGREES.
This Lake Lanier Bass report is from Jim Mathley, www.jimboonlanier.com 770 542 7764
Bass fishing has remained good as we have continued to catch big fish both deep and shallow through the week. The Lake Lanier water level has risen nearly a foot over the past 10 days and the surface temperatures are rising as well with the recent warm rain and temperatures. Our focus over the last week has been the creek channel ditches which are present throughout the lake and range from shallow to deep depending on the location. We have been working the ditches from 5 feet deep all the way out to 40 feet deep. When we are out deeper, we are focusing on the ditches with isolated timber and using either a spoon jigged vertically or a jig worked VERY slowly through the timber. We have caught the shallow fish on shaky head worms, jigs, crank baits, jerk baits, and the Fish Head Spin. The shallow fish seem to be the best and most available during periods of sunny weather, while the cloudy weather pushes the bait and fish deeper. If there is wind blowing, fish your moving baits where the wind is the strongest and most direct into the bank and use a slow to moderate retrieve. Don’t expect to get many bites, but the ones you get will be quality. There are some secondary points in creeks that are producing fish during the active fish periods and when the wind is blowing as noted above. Look for the points that offer clay and rock that are close to deep water. The upper lake and rivers are really holding fish in certain creek ditches in 10 to 30 feet of water. When searching for the deeper fish in the creek channels/ditches, use your Lowrance electronics to identify subtle structure changes to include creek-ditch depressions. Where there is bait, there is or will soon be fish. 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 very good both in terms of size and numbers. Not much has changed in terms of technique. Find the large continuous strings of bait half way back in the creek channel and fish there. This has been the key for the last several weeks and will continue as long as the water temperatures stay in the mid to high 40’s. The down rod bite just over the bait has been the ticket this week. However, there is a brief shallow water bite before the sun gets up. Keep your eyes open for birds and follow their lead. If they are diving at bait and you can get to the fish before they disperse, throw a Mack Farr 1/2 oz buck tail with a small fluke trailer. You can also use a spinning rod to toss a herring, small gizzard shad or threadfin on a weighted float into the center of the activity. Keep your bait about three feet below the float. When a quality Striper nails the bait on the surface; hang on! If the Birds are actively searching an area, set out a spread with baits 40 feet behind your boards, free lines 80 to 100 feet back and a couple down rods. Try both weighted and non weighted free lines. You can also use Umbrella rigs to quickly search an area. When the sun gets up your best bet is to switch to down rods over bait half way back in the creeks. If possible, take a variety of Herring, Trout and Gizzard shad to the lake. Remember to keep your hook size matched to the size of your bait. Flowery Branch, Six Mile, and Flat creek are good places to start on the south end. On the North end try Johnson, Latham Creek, Little River and Sardis Creek. We teach ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for SONAR and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for details. Call for details.

WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 5.75 FEET, DIRTY & 52 DEGREES BY CHRIS BELL
Bass fishing has been good. Water levels have continued to come up and temperatures have stayed consistent. Morning water temperatures are starting around fifty two degrees increasing to fifty five mid day. Do not be discouraged if you do not pick up early morning bites as temperatures increase so do the bites. Fishing a drop shot rig and jigging spoon on off shore structure is picking up most of the bites for numbers. You can catch some really healthy spots right now. For our finicky largemouth the best pattern has been covering a lot of water with small mid depth crank baits such as a Bandit 200 series or Bomber 4A. The better colors have either been in a chartreuse or craw patterns.
Hybrid and striper fishing is great. Fish have positioned on top of humps and road beds. Using live shad dropped down to schools of fish is working the best. Use your depth finders to locate fish. You may have to check multiple areas before locating fish with the recent changes in water levels.
Crappie fishing has been fair. Fish have begun pulling into creeks and pockets about half way in. These fish are following shad that have migrated in with the new water depths. Troll minnow tipped jigs in black/chartreuse or pink/white colors. Look for fish to be positioned in the twelve to fifteen feet depths. Troll jigs at depths ten to twelve feet to catch feeding fish

LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 13.6 FEET, STAINED AND 57
This bass fishing report is from Matt Driver 404-456-6094 www.proanglerradio.com
Bass fishing is good and there has been little change al nights being below freezing. The first few days of the cold snap were not that great for fishing due to a lot of shallow fish shut down with such a drastic change in temps but now things are getting back to normal January fishing on Allatoona. The bait is more concentrated and suspending in the 15 to 20 ft range. As we all know where the bait is so will the bass be. Use your electronics to find bait ball, and use drops shot rigs and the float n fly. Use a slower approach than we’ve used in earlier weeks. I believe we will see some bigger fish caught in the near future with more cold fronts forecasted in coming weeks. January is a great time to catch a trophy spot on Lake Allatoona.
This Lake Allatoona Fishing Guides Fishing Report Is Bought to You by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service 770 827-6282 www,firstbiteguideservice.com.
Line side fishing is good. The hybrids and stripers are concentrated mid lake from the S turns to Bartow Carver and to concentrate on the river channel between Kellogg Creek and Victoria. Early in the morning, flat lines and planer boards are getting hammered. Trout and shad seem to be working equally well. The down line bite should also produce, and the fish are anywhere from 18 to 35 feet. The best bite is on umbrella rigs once the sun gets up. Our clients have been catching very good numbers on an umbrella rig pulled 80 to 100 feet behind the boat with chartreuse jigs and trailers. Pull the edges of the river and creek channels and to expect bites when you start marking the huge clouds of baitfish. Also, be sure to keep something tied on for the schooling fish. When you see gulls diving youll find hybrids and stripers pushing bait up. Fish this schooling action fish with a white Rooster Tail, fluke or Spook.

January 13, 2012
LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 8.09 FEET, CLEAR & 53 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. The bass are back to a normal winter pattern. There is a lot of wind this week and this will move the larger bass deep to structure. Wind blown points are still my favorite along with short stretches of red clay banks mixed with chunk rock. The points as well as the banks need to have deep water or a channel that runs close by. The bass are holding in the deeper water for the most part and move in and out on these areas to feed during the day. Even when the bass are holding in ten to fifteen feet of water and more, they will still hit deep diving crank baits like the DT10 and DT16. Another good choice for this deeper cranking is the new Glass Shad Rap in the number 7 size. For those anglers that just love to use deep water jigging spoons, some nice bass along with a variety of other fish are being caught using this method. Find the fish and the structure and have at it. Most fishermen are concentrating their efforts in water anywhere from 25 to 45 feet deep. Downsize your line and tackle for best results. Learn how to use the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology with Southern Fishing On the Water fishing schools.
January 13, 2012
CLARKS HILL IS DOWN 9.31 FEET, 52 DEGREES & STAINED
Bass fishing is fair but the wind will slow it down little until the warm up comes back. A jig will catch you the bigger bass while the crank baits will continue to put up some numbers. Use the DT10 primarily during the winter months in a variety of colors, depending on the water clarity. The more stained the water is, the darker the color should be. DT07 Flat bait is a good second choice while fishing rocky areas, such as rip rap. Also use the football head Jig and pick apart the bottom structure and channel ledges. These two types of fishing methods will be good enough to last until spring, no matter what Lake you are fishing. Ditches all over the lake anywhere from 15 to 40 feet deer is where the larger bass will hang out. Jigs are the perfect bait for this way of fishing. Just make sure you purchase the lures that come with patience. Winter fishing can be a little slower than the rest of the year but it is the time when most of the large bass bite. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.
January 13, 2012
LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 2.88 FEET, CLEAR & 53 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. After the winds settle and with some bright sunny days, the bass will feed. Crank baits seem to be the favorite early in the morning. Bass are still biting the Carolina rigs. This will work but the bigger bass seem to want a slow moving bait like the DT10 or DT6. The DT6’s in the shad and silver are working the best and with the cooler waters. Rocky points are still the favorite this week and stay on the main lake. Those that are heading back into the creeks and coves are just getting a few small bites while throwing plastics. The bass are suspending in the channels and deeper water and move up early and late to feed. The big largemouth and especially the spots like the bigger slower moving crank baits. Rocks, deep water and wind are the key thing to look for this week. See our web site for Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass DVD on sale.
January 13, 2012
LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN ONE FOOT, CLEAR, 55 DEGREES BY MATT BATY
Bass fishing is good. The recent cold front cooled down the water temperatures and really grouped the fish up in tight schools. Look for grass points that are close to the edge of sandbars, as the fish will use these as staging areas. To catch fish off of these areas, use two crank baits. A Spro Little John in Nasty Shad works well on the shallower points from 3-5 feet of water. This bait has a circuit board lip and has tremendous action and comes through the grass really good. The other crank bait goes a little deeper and does not have a rattle. It is a Stanford Cedar Shad, the Razor Shad in Medium Diver. Any shad color will work. This bait is extremely buoyant and floats out of the grass really well. I would definitely change the hooks on it, though, to size 2 Gamakatsu EWG Treble Hooks. Another pattern that is emerging is flipping dead hyacinths on the Chattahoochee River. Look for dead hyacinths in the pockets or canals off of the main river and flip a Big Bite Baits Yo Daddy in Black/Blue with a 1 1/2 oz. tungsten weight. Use a 4/0 Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Worm Hook and 65 lb. Sunline FX2 Braid. Learn how to use the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology with Southern Fishing On the Water fishing schools.
January 13, 2012
LAKE GEORGE IS DOWN .8 FEET, 55 DEGREES AND CLEAR
Bass fishing is slow and more rain will keep the lake muddy. The rising and falling waters do not help any action. The bass are deep on heavy cover. Use a larger dark u tail worm on a Texas rig. Larger jigs with a pork trailer will work on the docks. These deeper docks have new brush and the fish have to force fed. Pitch and flip worms or jigs around and in this heavy brush. Look for any brush on the points and docks on the lake. Down lake, use the Enticer black and blue or all black 1/2 ounce jig and a larger Pro Pork Trailer by Uncle Josh on the heavy cover. The gourd green u tail Zoom worms on a Texas rig is fair just fish these baits slowly. We teach ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for SONAR and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for details. Call for details.

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 5.79 FEET, 45 DEGREES & STAINED
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 bass have moved 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. Very few largemouth are being caught, most all are spots. Little River and the Chattooga River are producing some great spot fishing with a lot of 2 to 4 pound fish, a drop shot rig with a 4 inch craw or a mini Fluke, is working awesome on most any deeper, rocky river channel ledge in Little River. The smaller spots are up shallow on the rocks and the larger spots are on the deeper parts of the ledge 10 to 16 feet deep, look for the bigger fish right in the middle of the channel.
Striper fishing is poor but the fish are due to turn on any day.
Crappie fishing is good and the fish are starting to move in to the deeper water of the creeks and bays on a pre spawn pattern. Little spring Creek is producing some great crappie fishing, long line trolling with 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jigs in colors JJ 08, JJ 13, JJ 17, JJ 25, JJ 37 in 6 to 12 feet of water, a float and fly is also working well in the stumps and flats in Little Spring Creek. The bays near Riverside are producing some crappie long line trolling also. The crappie bite is good and we are catching a lot of mixed sized fish from 8 to 13 inches. Look for the bite to really get good with any warming trend that comes in over the next few weeks.
January 13, 2012
LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.82 FEET, 54 DEGREES, MOSTLY STAINED.
Bass fishing continues to be a challenge but we are in the dead of winter. Look for bass to be in the twelve to twenty five feet range near points, ledges, roadbeds and humps. Spend time looking for schools of shad. When you see bait, mark the area and fish it slowly with a 1/2 ounce Flex It or Hopkins spoon, a 3/8 or 1/2 ounce football jig or a Carolina rig with a small finesse worm. Use light line no larger than 12 pound test to increase sensitivity. Most of the fish being caught are from Nancy’s Branch and south to the dam. Rely on your Lowrance to locate the pods of shad and don’t leave an area until you are confident you’ve covered every inch of that structure. If you think you are fishing slow and can count the number of bites you’ve gotten on one hand, you may need to fish even slower for better results.

LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 50 DEGREES.
Bass fishing is fair and the main lake is clear, stained to muddy up the rivers. The fish are tight to cover. Or they are roaming the deep water suspended near the river channel. The best bite is under boat docks near deeper water. This means main lake docks, if the docks have structure under them then that is even better. A dark jig with a claw trailer seams to be working the best. Think slow and the bite will be light. You can still pick up a few fish at the bridge rip rap if Georgia Power is pulling water. Use a number 7 Shad Rap in a shad color.
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 good. The stripers and hybrids continue to bite down near the dam. You can use a number of tactics to catch these fish. The umbrella rigs are still producing good number as it the live shad bite. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools of bait and drop your bait in the schools. The stripers may not show on the Lowrance but they are close to the bait. Keep a Capt Mac spoon tied on. There are times that it will out produce the live bait.
Crappie fishing is good. The fish are in the middle of most creeks and big coves. Spider rigging is working as well as finding the fish on your Lowrance and dropping live bait to them. Tip you jig with a minnow to increase your bite. Lick and Sugar Creek have been out producing most of the other creeks. We will be starting my crappie trips this month. Give me a call and we will try and fill your cooler with big slabs. Remember to stop by Sugar Creek Marina for all your bass and striper needs. They have Capt. Macks umbrella rigs in stock along with the Capt. Mack spoons. Call about our ON THE WATER SCHOOLS for SONAR and Rods, Reels and Lures for Bass. Call for 770-889-2654 for details.

JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN 4.51 FEET, STAINED 51 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair but the water temperatures are dropping daily and the spotted bass are scattered. Anglers are reporting everything from and occasional spinnerbaits and the jigs. Work the shallows in and around the main lake points but work the bait all the way back to the boat. A few strikes are occurring within a few feet of the boat out in deeper water. Work the brush piles you find around the docks. A lot of Christmas trees have been put around these docks and are starting to hold fish. Follow the spinner bait up with a jig or better yet throw a purple 4 1/2 inch Storm worm right in the brush pile or under the dock. The added scent and rattle that is built in will aid in getting the bite. A slow presentation is a must this time of the year.

Red Drum Tackle shop fishing report, Buxton 1-11
Even though there proceeds to be pretty very good and secretive speckle trout action, the total scene is quite slow. Rained both final night time and some what these days.
The specks are being taken but not talked about way too a lot. Try hunting at ramp 34, the motel region, the jetties and then once more at ramp 43.
Doggies and skates carry on to be abundant and the shell hunting for the walkers is great, good, and I am gone.
Very best,
Bob
Tuesday and what a fairly day it is!
Well that about sums it up. Sunshine, doggies, skates and not considerably else on the surf scene. The southeast wind of the subsequent few of times ought to support especially for the specks.
There have been pups on Ocracoke on gold hopkins. Bluefins showing up each offshore and in the close by waters north. Shelling is even now good.
Greatest to you,
Bob
Wednesday Afternoon – Rain, Rain go away!
Not rarely a point to discuss about right now. Rain has been off and on since this morning. The weatherman (guesser) sayes se to sw wind for the next several times and who is aware what that will produce. Nevertheless genuinely warm out.
Very best and give me a get in touch with if you listen to of fish. Very good blackfinning offshore.

"Speck Check out" | Tiberias – 22′ | 01/11/12
Swinging weather designs have the fish on the transfer…The redfish have been thick on the shallow flats, but spooky. I have pushed a number of colleges of reds and even noticed some trout hanging all around the outer oyster bars. The water has been so clear that you can see the bottom in eight ft of water at instances. Spotting fish is very interesting, but can be aggrevating when they won’t bite. Ultimately, I have had enough…a buddy around the Southport location has been drilling the trout, so I went to check it out. If you will not thoughts a lengthy boat ride the fish seem to be to be cooperating a minor far better in the Southport region. The drinking water temperature would seem to be keeping about three to 4 degrees warmer and h2o color is a minor darker making it easier to do a sneak. A excellent class of trout in the 2 to four pound variety are biting a range of soft plastics in vivid colour styles. Even a flounder or two is still hanging all around. Check out it out! See ya on the water!

Little River
No report.
Grand Strand
A number of spottails have been caught, but the trout have been challenging to track down.
Charleston
Redfish: Excellent. Haddrell’s Stage reports fantastic quantities of redfish (at times one hundred+ fish in a school) have been schooling up on the reduced tide flats and are eagerly using all types of baits such as Gulp! jerkshads, Gulp! swimming mullet. The old stand-by baits such as mud minnows and reduce mullet are also really efficient this time of 12 months.
Sheepshead: Good. Haddrell’s reports fish are nevertheless feeding greatly along composition in eight-20 ft of water with fiddler crabs, oysters, and barnacles being the top rated bait options.
Beaufort
Spottail Bass: Excellent. It’s been cold enough for fish to college and there are a number of bait fish about (mullet). Find the school on the flat and you are very good. Artificials and minnows are producing.
Trout: Reasonable. Come across the deep holes. DOA Shrimp and spoons will the two operate.
