season reports Marty at SPORTSMAN’S ONE
STOP located just below Iva on Hwy 81. Stop in
and see who won the Deer contest for 2008. There is plenty of
good hunting left for ducks, geese, squirrels, rabbits and quail.
Fishing is good to excellent on both lakes in this area when the
weather is warm and some good bass are hitting in 4 to 10 foot
of water using crank baits such as Normans DEEP LITTLE N, Strike
King’s series 5 cranks or a #5 Shad Rap. Favored colors are
SX Shad, Nutter Shad, Sexy Shad or Canary if the water is stained.
Some of the Spots are suspended in the deeper water and may be
caught Drop Shotting small finesse worms or doodling Berry Spoons.
Crappie are being caught under bridges at night. Try the new 21
inch submersible green lights. We have them for only $19.99. If
you are fishing during the day time, try trolling around the channel
marker signs in the mouths of the major creeks to catch your limits.
Also catfish are still biting very well in the shallows on cut
herring, chicken livers and stink bait. We have the 20 oz. tub

Attention Hunters and Fishermen THE SPORTSMAN at LAKE RUSSELL
is under new management and is being renovated and re-stocked.
For the hunter they have some hunting supplies. For the fishermen
they have a drive thru covered bait tank area where you can get
your herring and minnows easily. You can keep your bait in the
same water so that it will live longer. They are also stocking
up with new fishing tackle. They have lunch specials and sandwiches
of all types. On the fishing we heard that stripers have been
caught using live herring behind planer boards or free lining.
Also when the water is moving, stripers are being caught on the
Clarks Hill side of the Lake Russell dam casting big buck tails
into the moving water.
