Athens Fishing Report
- Sep 27, 2023
- FAIR. Water clear; 82-85 degrees; 1.76 feet below pool. Bass are schooling so it can be easier to catch on small shad patterned swimbaits for spinnerbaits. Plenty of fish in shallow grass 2-8 feet of water. Bass on brush piles were not biting. Crappie are still on brush piles. Report by Jim Brack, Athens Guide Service.
Zebra Mussel Alert To prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the law requires draining of water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters. Get details.
