Lake Lanier and Chattahoochee River Fishing Report
Water Conditions: The
lake’s temperatures are in the
upper 50s and low 60s in
some areas.
The lake is clear to
stained. The Chattahoochee
River is clear.
Bass: Fishing is still very
good for anglers who can
pattern pre-spawn fish. Some
bass may spawn next week
with the full moon but most
will be in a pre-spawn mode.
You can catch bass shal
low or deep, but the bigger
fish are halfway in the backs
of coves feeding heavily on
baitfish.
The better fish are biting
on Rattletraps and spinner
baits, but, for numbers, it's
hard to beat soft plastics
fished on the docks in shal
low water.
We boated 10 spotted
bass off of one dock in the
back of Shoal Creek this
week using green finesse
STATE from 1C
off a defender and into the
goal for a 3-0 advantage.
Tobin scored again with 14
seconds remaining in the half,
gathering a nice pass from
Perea before driving a shot
over the head of the Dun
woody keeper for a 4-0 lead.
The break couldn’t sate
Central’s appetite for more
goals as the Lady Dawgs
scored quickly after the inter
val.
Fink picked up her second
of the match just five min
utes into the half, dribbling
past two defenders in the
penalty area before slam
ming a shot into the roof of
the net. A scant two minutes
later. Central had its sixth as
Jenny England finished off a
brilliant move from Perea
who dribbled past three
defenders before laying the
ball off to the wide-open for
ward.
With 29 minutes left, Fink
turned provider for Perea as
the freshman chipped a pin
point pass into the penalty
area for the junior playmaker
to run on to and slot home for
a 7-0 lead.
The goal-fest finally stag
nated as the half waned, but
Central’s Arielle Hayden fin
ished off the Lady 'Cats with
a curling shot with 17:15 left.
“(In a game like this], you
work on your passing skills
and overlaps,” said Central
head coach Sid Bramblett
after witnessing the drubbing.
“The field here is so bad that it
makes it hard, but they still
looked good doing it.”
The Lady Dawgs have
looked nothing short of spec
tacular recently. Feeding on
weaker competition. Central
has outscored its opponents
27-0 in their last three games.
The Lady Dawgs hope
their current form can con
tinue into next week as they
face nonregion foe Lumpkin
County before traveling to
county rivals North Forsyth.
Time runs out
on the Dawgs
The Forsyth Central Bull
dogs needed just a little more
time Thursday night.
After falling behind 3-0 in
the first half, the Dawgs did
all they could in 40 minutes to
salvage a point from the con
test but fell just short, 3-2,
despite a stirring comeback
attempt.
The loss effectively knocks
the Dawgs (5-5-1, 1-4) from
playoff contention, as Central
must now win out in the
region and hope that both
Marist and South Forsyth sag
down the stretch.
“The boys played well, and
we had a lot of opportunities,”
said Central head coach Matt
Weneta. “It’s unfortunate to be
in the position we’re in, but

very shallow docks.
Crappie minnows are

Stripers: Striper fishing
is hit-and-miss, but they are

we’re still looking forward to
the Marist and county games.”
Despite the Dawgs control
ling the tempo early, Dun
woody victimized the Central
defense for three quick count
er-attack goals in the first half.
Using their speed advan
tage. Dunwoody's forwards
scored each goal in similar
fashion, running on to long
balls over the Bulldog defense
to beat the keeper one-one
one.
Dunwoody took their first
lead with 27 minutes left in
the opening stanza, stemming
Central's growing momentum.
The Wildcats then grabbed a
second four minutes later as
the Dawgs began to push for
ward in search of an answer.
The Dawgs created scoring
chances throughout the open
ing half, with both Ryan
Whittington and Jordan Smith
drilling shots off the uprights,
but Central couldn’t break on
to the board before Dunwoody
grabbed its third to take a 3-0
lead into the interval.
Injecting more speed into
the Bulldog lineup, Weneta
made several changes to start
the second. Moving defender
Nino Fetic to striker and
switching out fullbacks, the
Dawgs began to negate
Dunwoody’s forwards and
take advantage of their posses
sion attack.
Central's Jonathan Wojo
ciechowski came close four
minutes into the restart but
couldn't find away around the
Dunwoody keeper. Whit
tington then followed with
another strong effort.
With their momentum
building, the Dawgs finally

Night fishing has been a
little slower, but the ‘Long A’
bombers will still catch a few
stripers if you fish in the
right areas.
Flat Creek, Shoal Creek
and the mouths of some of
the lower lake creeks have
all been decent.
Crappie: Crappie fishing
is very good. Docks and
wood cover are the way to
go.
Skip a small crappie jig
under the docks for a quick
limit or fish crappie minnows
two to three feet below a
bobber in the backs of the
creeks. Some fish are on the
bridge pilings too.
White Bass: The whites
are hit and miss. Rooster
Tails and crappie minnows
are your best bet, in the
backs of creeks and up in the
rivers.
pulled a goal back with 25
minutes remaining. Taking
advantage of an indirect kick
just seven yards from goal,
Bailey Slijvo blasted a shot off
a gaggle of Dunwoody de
fenders (standing shoulder-to
shoulder inside the goal
mouth) and into the roof of the
net.
Just two minutes later, the
game began to turn as Central
came up with a surprise penal
ty kick. Rushing into the
Dunwoody penalty area in
anticipation of a long throw
in. one of Central’s attackers
took a shove from a defender,
prompting the referee to
award the penalty.
Obliging, Slijvo again pro
vided the decisive strike,
blasting the spot kick high and
left into the net.
The score set up a wild fin
ish to the contest, as Central
surged forward in search of
the equalizer. With the Dawgs
in an all-out attack, Dun
woody's forwards caused sev
eral tense moments for the
Dawg defense, but Central
managed to scramble away
two close calls, late.
Meanwhile, Central felt it
had earned a second penalty
when Fetic collided with a
defender and fell in the
Dunwoody box with 15 min
utes left. But the referee
waved play on.
With time draining away,
both Whittington and Fetic
each forced nice saves but to
no avail, as the clock finally
ran out on Central.
“In the first half they beat
us with speed in the back,”
said Weneta. “But our two

be good with the recent
