Lake Chatuge is full pool, and water temps are rising with the warm days we’ve been having. The Spotted Bass are making the blueback herring bait fish live hard, There has been some top water action going on in the mornings and you will see some fish blowing up through out the day. I’m targeting these …
It’s that time of year when the Spotted Bass and the Largemouth bass are coming off bed and starting to move out to their summer time staging areas. On Lake Burton one of the best techniques to use this time of year is the shaky head or what some people call the Jig Head worm. Strike …
It’s always nice to go fishing and catch big fish, and there is times when this happens. But this trip a couple of weeks ago was a special trip. I’ve taken Gene and his son out a couple of times on lake Blue Ridge, and it seems like there is always a cool front comes through …
I had the pleasure of guiding the Hibbitts family Sunday on Lake Burton. We’ve been having some windy days and cooler nights for the past week, which has brought the water temps down some and has made some of the fish move back out. With the full moon coming in the next couple weeks the …

Lake Chatuge has been fishing good all season, despite all the wet weather we’ve been having. The fish are already wet so it don’t seem to bother them, and it don’t bother me. I learned years ago you need good rain gear if your going to be on the lake 200 days out of the …
