The Stripers, hybrids, and white bass are making their spawning migration from the lakes into the rivers.
I will continue to fish the Dams between West Point and Columbus depending on water flow. The more rain we get the better this fishing will be. Sorta the opposite to our normal river fishing!!!
Columbus, GA boat ramp is only an hour and a half from my house in east point. The Hybrid bass run is starting and should be in full force any day now. It can be really incredible fishing, great lure fishing as well. It is right below the downtown river rafting area, you are fishing with Zipliners souring overhead. It's Cool!
Above West Point lake near Franklin should be great hybrid fishing (as described above) until about mid-April. 50+ fish days are normal.
The Etowah River above lake Allatoona is my choice for white bass and a chance at a big 25lb+ striper. White bass fishing is great for kids. Plenty of action. The Hybrid bite can be really good as well. With the warm snap we just had I think the fish should be moving up. I haven't been there yet this year. I will need a partner or two to go scout with during the middle of the week.
The Oconee River above lake Oconee can be great white bass fishing. As soon as the water comes down after this rain it should be great for another week or two. If you live over on the eastside of Atlanta it would be a fun trip with amazing action!
