It looks like the weather is about to finally become a little bit more seasonal. For the first time this spring, we have 90 degree temperatures in our forecast. A cold front came through over the last two days and along with 2-5″ of rain, it will take a day or two for the fish to recover. Once they do though, the fishing in north Georgia should get pretty active. The short-term forecast shows highs in the 90s and lows in the 70s. With only one day that has reached 90 yet this year, the fishing should get interesting. Many of us look forward to these balmy nights to get out on the water. The bass and catfishing gets to be so much fun once these temps hit. Fish late evening and after dark for catfish using either cut bait or chicken livers. Prepared bait will also work well this time of year. When fishing for bass, we recommend slower moving baits in the evening and overnight. Plastic worms is our bait of choice at these temps, but the crankbaits and spinnerbaits will still work, especially in the mornings. Mid-day fishing will get more challenging with the warmer temperatures. Spend the middle of the day fishing for panfish. Crickets and redworms will work best for most bream during the middle of the day. Our free fishing days have passed, but fishing licenses are inexpensive and give you a year’s worth of fun, so pick one up and get out to the water!!!
