basshole8190 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Got out today for a little fishing mainly to test ot some of my new swimbaits. Didn't catch any but had a magnum sized spot follow a 8" glide to the boat but didn't commit. and had two hits on a 8" rising son tophook but lost the first fish and didn't connect on the 2nd fish. so ready for the water temps to come up to 50-55 so they'll get a little more active Quote

Super User buzzed bait Posted February 3, 2014 Super User Posted February 3, 2014 most of the lake was 45-47 but found a few coves up a creek arm that was 50 that's where all my bites came from oh man, some 50 degree water will be nice!!!!!!!! i have gone 3 times in January and not caught the first bass. granted fishing slow is not my #1 skill... i am so ready to see it warm up a touch and get the bite back on.

basshole8190 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Yea I'm not much for slowing down myself. but I'm getting better. the water temp was 39 last week but its rising fast we have another cold snap coming thru end of this week that'll drive the temp back down but by the end of the month the water temps should be up in the 55 degree area and that's when the bass here get hungry Quote

basshole8190 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 The rain has the water pretty muddy on the lagrange end of the lake yellow jacket and whitewater are pretty dirty was gonna go out and try myself but i gotta work tomorro. I've heard bama rigs have taken a few but mainly its been vertical jigging spoons over fish on the bottom. jerkbaits may work. water temps are still around 48-50 degrees. give me a call if you make it down this way Quote

blongfishing Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I striper fish Hartwell with my uncle who is a guide. I go every weekend trying to get the most I can about largemouth and striper I'm wanting to be a guide!! Anyways I caught a 16 lb striper on a buck tail just twitching it. The bite was slow this past weekend but this weekend is looking to be good because of the warm weather. Quote
basshole8190 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I had a chance to get out on west point today. started out great with 3 fish at the first point i stopped at and a pretty big follower on a glide bait. After i left that spot the wind picked up and got a little too windy for my liking so i called it a day. Quote
Hound_dog Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm over on Lake Oconee and this is where I spend most of my time getting a hook wet. Usually have an open seat if anyone wants to come out. Quote

basshole8190 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Yea it was windy here too i hit the hooch and caught several shoalies and a few school size stripers but it was tough Quote

I'm a hb guy. that said my buddy's lowrance structure scan is far better as far as composition and definition. but i like the ease of use of my hb unit i had. I'm still researching for boats to buy alumacraft seems to be the front runner with a 90 hp jet . Quote
