This month officially kicks off the fall fishing season. The first half of the month will be tough,  but by the end of the month the bite will slowly fire up. Bass will start to school in the tailraces gourging themselves on young shad. Stripers will become more abundant both in the tailraces and along points and creek mouths in the upper portion of the lake. Late August has produced a lot of trophy catfish over the years. Best bet is Wilson Lake dropping large chunks of skipjack over ledges in 75 to 90 feet of water. Crappie will start to move farther up the creeks in search of bait. They will be more open water and less structure oreinted. This is definitely the time to bet getting your gear ready for the upcoming months. In my opinion mis September to early December is absolutley the best fishing of the year.

I WILL BEGIN FISHING EXCURSIONS AGAIN SEPTEMBER 10TH. I STILL HAVE A FEW WEEKDAY DATES OPEN FOR LIVE BAIT ACTION IF INTERESTED.
