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 Large mouth are being caught, most all are spots. Little River and the Chattooga River are producing some great Spot fishing right now, with a lot of 2-4 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. The smaller spots are up shallow on the rocks and the larger Spots are on the deeper parts of the ledge 10-16 feet deep.

Crappie fishing is fair and the fish are starting to bite again on the old river ledges in 8-16 feet of water. Spider rigging with live minnows is producing and the float and fly is also producing well. The Chattooga River is producing a lot of under size fish with a few keepers. Little spring Creek is producing some Crappie long line trolling with 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jigs in 4-8 feet of water, a float and fly is also working well in the stumps in Little Spring Creek. The bays near Riverside are producing some Crappie lond line trolling also.

Striper fishing is Poor The Stripers are due to turn on any day.

Catfish are biting good in the flats 6-12 feet deep on cut shad
