Nick B Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I am going to go to Greers Ferry for the first time. I will probably launch out of Cove Creek. Any tips or advice fishing this lake? Quote
chasescott Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Have not been up there in probably 3 or 4 weeks. However, i will be up there all next weekend to fish. If i had to guess i would try to get an early moring topwater bite around main lake points and standing timber. As the day goes on i would try to find some offshore humps and fish those with cranks, jigs, and large plastic worms. You can always fish the bluffs with shakey head finesse worms and catch a few nice kentuckies. With the cooler weather and rain i would not be suprised if there were a few bass cruising around the buck brush in the shallows. good luck, let me know how you did. -chase Quote
Nick B Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks for the info, I didnt make it up there this weekend, I decided to take the jon boat I got to the lake on base. I will probably head up there in the next couple of weeks Quote
chasescott Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Sounds good. I will let you know how i do this weekend. Quote
igtat900 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 hybrids are schholing up with colder temps , rightn ow water is back to normal find the shad and you can find fish you electronics sugarloaf is producing nice fish Quote
chasescott Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I went up about three weeks ago and we were catching whites about every cast. I might try to get up there in the next couple of weeks. I was catching most of my fish around the edgemont bridge. Quote
Nick B Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Ok Finally made it to Greers, launched at the Dam site. Fished Peter Creek most of the day with a couple of hits but no takers. I fished acrossed from the Dam site marina and caught one smallie. The weather wasnt exactly as good as it was suppose to be. I was really impressed with how clear the water, really looking forward to fishing this lake more especially since I realized I am only 45 min away Quote
L-Train Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 There is some excellent scenery in Peter Creek, especially in the summertime. That's the rumor at least. Chase can probably vouch for me on that one. Are you from Marvinville? If your ever on the lake and some random boat comes up to you and ask you that question... Say yes and play along. Quote
hawgchaser Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Greers has been hot the last couple of weeks. Tournaments have been weighing in 22-25lb sacks. I have been the last couple of weeks and have found some nice fish. Right now they are on main lake points hitting pointers and X Raps. I caught a nice one last weekend and a bunch of decent ones all on the Xrap. Olive has been the best color for me. I am going this weekend and will be throwing the same but will mix in some ratltraps on those same points. I was told by a tournament fisherman that knows the lake well to find points with bluffs that fade into pea gravel size rocks. He was dead on!! That is where the fish were hitting. Here is a nice Greers Ferry bass from last weekend. Good luck Check out her belly! Quote
chasescott Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Hawg, those are some really nice Greers bass. What part of the lake are you fishing? I have been up there the past two weekends and have primarily stayed on the North part of the lake. I am going to the Classic this weekend but will be back up the next weekend for a tournament. Quote

Thanks, I am fishing main lake points between points 12 and 14 on the north side of Sugar Loaf, Higdon Bay has produced some really nice 2.5-4lb fish on jerk baits, and a little bit by five fingers. The only place i can catch them is on points with chunk rocks and the wind has to be blowing into the bank. If I can find those conditions, I have been catching really nice bass. I haven't been on this size fish on Greers in 15 years. I am letting the jerkbait sit for 10-15 seconds before I jerk it again and they are hitting it dead still. My buddy has been catching the same fish on Xr50 traps. Quote
Nick B Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah Peter creek has some scenery, there is a castle there. Marvinville got it. Chase those are some nice fish, I dont think I will make to the lake this weekend, I have to put a new floor in the house, but hope fully next weekend. Quote
Tyde one Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Greers is really shaping up this year. I have fished it all winter with some really good days. I went this last Friday and caught some really nice ones. Quote
Tyde one Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Hey chase you fishing the wooten tourney on the 28th? I ll be there. Gonna donate my winnings back to the family. I will probably be too ashamed to go to the weigh in. Quote

I will probably be too ashamed to go to the weigh in. Yes, i am going to the wooten. Should be a fun time for a good cause. yes, i would love to be able to donate money back to the family, that is a great idea! Quote
hawgchaser Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Tell me about the Wooten Tourny. I haven't heard about it but might fish it. Quote
Tyde one Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Ill tell you if you promise to go fishing with me in the skeeter and show me how to catch them bigguns. Man you are pullin some nice fish outta the lake. It is for a little guy who is five and his last name is wooten. He had a brain tumor and they removed it. He is on chemotherapy. Poor little feller. I promise that me and my partner are going to donate any winnings back to the family. We both do pretty good in our businesses and wouldnt make a hill of beans if we had the money. I mean wouldnt affect our lives like it would this little guy. I could always use two grand but that is what we have decided. Leaving out of devils fork sat the 28th. $100 dollars a team. Quote
hawgchaser Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Ha! Trust me that lake owns me. It is so dang tough to fish IMO. I have had a great Feb but no doubt it won't stay that way. Im going to talk to my buddy and see if he can fish the tourny. I lost my dad to a rare brain tumor so I know how tough these situations are. However, there is nothing more heart breaking than a child with cancer. I would like to help out and will donate any money if Im lucky enough to win any! Ill get back to y'all on this. Quote
Tyde one Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Man im sorry to hear that about your dad. It kills me to see a little guy suffering. I cant imagine if my little girls had to go through something like that. It would be hard on the whole family. Cancer is a horrible disease anyway. Have lost some really important people in my life to it. I want a lesson in lipless cranks. Btw my name is Clint. Later Quote
