Fishing
Is Said
To Be Good
April is the month for white
bass fishing in Georgia, accord
ing to the State Game and Fish
Commission’s monthly maga
zine, “ Georgia Game and
Fish.”
An article in the April issue
by the magazine’s editor, Jim
Morrison, lists the most pop
ular spots for white bass fish
ing, techniques, and lures.
The article said that Lake La
nier is the best place to go if you
are interested in catching a lar
ger than average size white
bass, with some fish caught
there exceeding four pounds in
size. Clark Hill was singled out
for an unusually large crop of
three pound white bass this
year, while the largest number
of white bass per acre of lake
was attributed to Sinclair,where
the average size is smaller,
ranging from half a pound to
three-quarters of a pound in
size.
In March, April, and some
times early May, white bass
are congregated i~ the tribu
tary streams above the lakes
on a spawning run. However,
the presence of the fish there
(or at least their willingness
to bite) depends on water tem
peratures from 58 to 64 de
grees. If a sudden cold snap
occurs or a heavy rain cools
and muddies the streams, fish
ing is poor for several days
afterwards.
The magazine recommended
use of small lead-headed “jigs”
in white or yellow, small lures
with spinning blades, and small
plugs, all fished near the bank.
The spawning fish tend to rest
in eddy pools in the river cur
rent, or to lie against the bank
in the upper end of the lakes.
