We’ve been busy lately guiding on Blue Ridge Lake, Lake Lanier and Chatuge. With this unheard of weather the lake temps have already jumped up to 66 and 67 degrees. This is spawning temps and the fish don’t know what to do, because most of the time the lakes don’t hit these temps till the end of April. We’re catching alot of Spotted bass off points and pebble rocky banks where there staging up to spawn. The Largemouth are in the back of pockets swiming around waiting to lock down and spawn. If your looking for some good fishing, give us a call now.

There’s know wonder why the Pro’s on the FLW  bass fishing circuit  are coming back to Lanier in August for the Forest Wood Cup Chanpionship. Lake Lanier is producing some of the biggest spotted bass in the nation.  Lake Lanier has 692 miles of shoreline, we fished yesterday and only covered maybe 7 miles of it. We caught 28 spotted bass just fishing Six Mile creek, most the fish came on shaky heads, drop shot and jigs. If your looking to catch some big spotted bass, call us now and book a trip on Lanier

Are you fishing drop-offs enough when you’re out trout fishing?

Very often where long stretches of shallow water transition into deeper water it creates a strong magnet for trout. Targeting water downstream of drop-offs can prove to be some of the most consistent trout water for fly anglers year round. To read my full article on Gink & Gasoline click the link below.

Drop-Offs Are Trout Hot Spots

We got out on Lake Burton yesterday and the lake is down around 7.5 feet and the water temp is 50-51 degrees. But with the nice weather we’ve been having the fish have already started to move up and feed for Pre-spawn. If the weather stays like this, we should have some awesome catches during March and April on all our mountain lakes, exspecially Lake Burton. So call today, our calendar is starting to fill.

Had a awesome day on Carters Lake today. We landed 38 spotted bass, 1 largemouth bass, and a mack daddy striper that weighed 30.13lbs. The Striper was caught on 7lb Gamma Touch fluorocarbon line. We caught all our bass on jigs and shakey heads. Yes, even the Striper was caught on a 5/16 pb/jig. I just wished we would have got all the fish in that we hooked up on, the fishing was truly on fire. If you like to fish jigs and shakey heads, now is the time to book a trip with us on Carters Lake, and you could catch fish like these.

The fishing this past week has been awesome on Lake Blue Ridge. We fished last friday and caught 55 spotted bass on jigs and shakey heads. I couldn’t stand it, so I had to go back yesterday. Even with the full moon we still cuaght 35 spotted bass and 1 largemouth mostly on tubes and shakey head. If the weather stays mild and we keep getting warm rain, come spring the bass fishing should be great. I’m sorry I didn’t take more pictures but when the fish are biting like this, I’m like a kid in a candy store.
