THE SOUTHERN FISHING REPORT

LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 3.7 FEET, 86 DEGREES AND MOSTLY CLEAR BY TIM WHITE - RAPALA PRO STAFF

Bass fishing remains fairly good as anglers are still showing up with 10 to 12 pounds at the scales. Several anglers that made it out to Academy Sports in Athens last weekend are reporting that all of the points are getting pounded to death by the tournament anglers. Now is the time to go for broke. Fish the steep rock ledges that drop off sharply into the channels. One such spot is located in Beaver Dam Creek and another one is up in the Savannah River near the Richard B. Russell Park. Fish with a 30 inch Carolina rig or try using a dark colored 3/8 ounce Terminator jig. The secret will be to have a whole lot of patience and fish these baits really slow. Finding structure will be the key element on finding the bass. Another method we use is to fish submerged stump rows in 25 to 50 foot of water. Dragging a Carolina rigged 4 inch worm or lizard through the stumps is deadly. Once again, taking your time and downsizing your tackle will only increase your odds of catching fish. You can also use a drop shot rig in the stumps and brush piles and use a small, VMC Octopus hook. Leave yourself about 14 to 16 inches difference between your hook and weight. A small hand poured worm or drop shot bait will work best.
