The water temperature is ranging from the upper 80s to the low 90s,  the creeks are mostly clear and so is the river . The bass fishing has remained only fair at best lately. Most of the spotted bass we've caught lately have  moved  deep as well as the largemouth. They showed up in the 15-25 ft range this week after the water has stabilized and continued to warm. We have been catching some in the 4-5 lb. range on Norman DD22s and carolina rigged Zoom  Old Monsters on the humps and ledges,and some on jigs in deep brushpiles especially during periods of water generation.A few schooling Stripers are starting to show early and late near the dam.The lake has leveled back off at around 1 ft. below full this past week,and I look for the Corp to hold it right about there. The generation schedule is available at 706 645 2929.We welcome anglers to our tuesday tournaments .We are still averaging around 30 boats ea. week. Also I would like to give a personal "Thank You " to all my loyal customers that made this past peak guide season one of my best ever,and I look forward to seeing many of you again in the fall.Sincerly Keith Hudson. 706 8841483   . I am really ready for Fall !!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                SUMMER  PATTERNS : FISHING REPORT           
                                                             
            LARGEMOUTH & SPOTS: The largemouth bite is fair right now, most fish are deep. Try using big crainkbaits and big Carolina rigged worms for the better quality fish and look for the fish to stay deep as the water continues to warm.The spotted bass are also biting pretty good right now . Mid depth crankbaits and plastic worms on shaky heads around shoal markers will also produce  this time of year. Decent numbers are the  rule and 2 anglers should be able to catch 20-25 fish a day right now.The best areas seem to be in the mid lake section and in the mouth of the major creeks .                                             
             HYBRIDS & STRIPERS & WHITE BASS: The river run is only a distant memory now ,and the downline lake bite has also slowed this last week due to the extremely warm weather. I look for the topwater bite to improve in  August & September as the water starts to cool .I am now booking for September (I have  some days open  through August )and it's never too early to start booking for the fall  fishing later on .For more information you can call me at (706)884-1483 or (706)882-1743  or follow the link to my email  to insure you don't miss out.email me at hudsonsprobass@gmail.com
 
             CRAPPIE:  Crappie are  still biting pretty good, especially in the midday, most crappie  are mid depth  in 6-12 feet near the creek channels(try Whitewater, Wehadkee and Yellow Jacket creeks) Most brush piles in this depth of water are holding fish. Most of the fish have  moved away from  the banks into the deeper water around blowdown trees and brushpiles.Try trolling or casting a Jiffy Jig or a small tube jig for the best results.White or chartreuse are the best colors. Also try pitching in the shade of the docks.This  can also be a very productive method for numbers. Night Fishing; I suggest the 109 bridges over the Hooch, Yellow Jacket and Wehadkee creeks as 3 of the best  places for night fishing. The night fishing for crappie is good  right  now and  improving rapidly.        

              CAT FISH: This year we have been catching some really nice flathead cat fish(some have been caught up in the 30 pound range) on our hybrid trips.After the floods of last fall, there should a  lot of big cats washed down to my striper holes. The cats feed on live shad or bream, and they tend to show up in a lot of the same holes as the stripers do. Try deep holes in the river above Ringer Access with a live bream for the best action.
