Lake Lanier and Chattahoochee River Fishing Report
Water Conditions: Lake
temperatures are still hover
ing around the mid 50s and
the Chattahoochee River is
clearing with a slight stain
Bass: My theory on the
bass staying deep was
proved wrong with this past
week’s higher temperatures.
We caught fish shallow and
deep throughout the week
but with the weekend’s lower
temperatures, they should
move to the creek ledges
again.
My Humminbird finders
show a lot of suspended and
roaming fish. They seemed
to be deep early and later in
the day and shallower when
the sun is overhead. Midday
seems to be best. I had some
success on a Spot sticker jig
head with a lime finesse
worm around the docks.

Ryan Fulwood was
Central’s leading scorer with
10 points, followed by Judd
Gravitt with nine.
“Tucker won because they
deserved to win,” Barnes said.
“They made the big shots,
played better defense. [They]
would get a shot and crash the
boards they just killed us on
the boards.”
Central was scheduled to
return home to the D.B.
Carroll Complex Saturday
night, hosting the Riverwood
Raiders (results were not avail
able at deadline).
The Bulldogs will have a
regular week of practice,
preparing for Friday and
Saturday's Lumpkin County
Christmas Tournament in
Dahlonega.
Lady Dawgs fall in OT
Forsyth Central fell behind
early Friday night, but clawed
its way back into the game
even forcing overtime
before falling 48-44 to the
Tucker Lady Tigers.
To say the Lady Dawgs had

even flukes will work during
the day. Fish these lures
slowly.
If you like live bait, free
line a medium to large shiner
around the main lake points
and you should catch a few.
Don’t hesitate to fish jigs or
spoons, especially when the
cold weather moves in.
Stripers: The areas in
front of Gainesville Marina
and Holly Park are holding
large numbers of striper right
now. Free lined blue backs
and large shiners are defiant

fish. I have also seen some

scored four points.
The Lady Lions of Pius
jumped ahead early, grab

behind the scoring of Kelly
Cain and Kerry Kulavic, who
finished with 15 and 11
points, respectively.
The Lady Lions increased
their lead in the second quar-
understatement. Cold first
quarter shooting coupled with
a bevy of turnovers made for a
10-2 Tucker lead entering the
second period of play. But by
halftime, the Lady Dawgs’
offense had found a spark and
cut their deficit to a 15-13
margin.
In the third quarter, both
teams traded baskets until a
bucket by Amy Mohr (game
high 20 points) at 5:49 tied the
game at 19-19.
Mohr’s seven third-quarter
points helped keep Central (2-
6, 1-5) within striking distance
as Tucker led by just one
point, 27-26, entering the
fourth period.
But Tucker benefited from
foul calls going 6-for-ll
from the charity stripe in the
fourth and it seemed time
was running out for the Lady
Dawgs.
A free throw by Tucker’s
Sara Vollmer (15 points) with
:20.2 remaining in the fourth
quarter gave the Lady Tigers a
narrow 37-35 advantage.
With the clock running and
Central fans on the edge of
their seats, Mohr missed a
layup with just :12 to go and
Tucker came up with the ball.

These stripers will be mov

I fished with Jeff Yero
this weekend and we boated
several nice stripers up to 15
pounds in Big Creek and
around the Lake Lanier
Islands Bridge in Shoal
Creek.
These fish are very strong
this time of year so use at
least 12-pound test and set
your drag correctly. Trolling
or throwing buck tails will
also work OK right now.
Crappie: Crappie fishing
is slow with most of the fish

jigs may catch a few but it’s

room.
North fought back in the
third, playing tough defense
to hold Pius to just seven
points. But without much
offensive production
North scored just five points
in the third the Lady
Raiders were unable to climb
back into contention.
But Mohr wasn’t done, mak

to Jennifer Korb (five points),
who nailed a basket at the
buzzer to tie the game at 37-37
and send both teams into over
time.
Foul calls again went
Tucker’s way in OT and 9-of
-14 shooting from the free
throw line secured the Lady
Tigers’ victory.
“We’re just not playing
great basketball right now. But
to their credit, they fought hard
and got it into overtime with
their defense, but we just
weren’t able to turn the cor
ner,” said Lady Dawgs head
coach Chris Leak.
“You’ve got two choices.
You can either quit or go to
work... And we’ll be there
it’s just taking a little while
right now... I’ve been chal

and I think they had fun
tonight, which is a step in the
right direction.”

North added nine fourth

responded with 14 of their
own to keep control of the
contest.
The Lady Raiders played
Chamblee Saturday (score
not available at press time)
and continue on the road
Tuesday at South Forsyth,
with opening tipoff set for 6
p.m.
Before the season, Leak
and his Central squad were
optimistic at their chances in
Region 6-AAAA. So far, the
Lady Dawgs haven’t per
formed as well as they would
have liked, but the Central
ooach is still hopeful that the
ship can be righted after
Christmas break and into the
second half of the season.
“That’s one of the danger
ous things about having high
expectations, is the risk of not
making it,” Leak said. “What
are you going to do? What
we’ve done is, we’ve gone into
a spiral right now and we’re
just working every day to
make sure we get out of that...
The goal is to be playing the
best ball you can at the end of
the season, and we’re going to
be there.”
The Lady Dawgs return to
action Friday, facing Dawson
County in the first game of the
Lumpkin County Christmas
Tournament.
TOP 10 from 1C
On Wednesday, North
Forsyth made an impressive
showing at West Hall, defeat
ing the Spartans 70-9 for the
Raiders’ seventh win this year.
“I didn’t really know what
to expect going in because we
had a lot of guys sick the day
before,” Jarrard said. “They
came out and wrestled well
they did what they were sup
posed to do.”
North Forsyth as well as
Forsyth Central High School
competed at the John Smith
Mountaineer Invitational in
Lumpkin County. Results were
unavailable at deadline. Next
up for the Raiders will be their
home quad-meet on Saturday,
Dec. 20, featuring Northgate
High, and Gilmer and Lumpkin
counties.
After that, Jarrard will give
his team a break from practice
the week of Christmas, which
should help them get healthy.
One wrestler who will not
be with the team is senior Zack
Miller, who, the Raiders
recently learned, will not be
able to compete at all this sea
son. Miller endured severe pain
from a shoulder injury through
out the football season and had
hoped to wrestle at 171 pounds
down from 189 last year.
But, Jarrard said, it now
appears Miller may indeed
undergo surgery to correct the
problem.
