Athens Fishing Report
- Dec 10, 2025
- FAIR. Water normal stain; 54 degrees; 0.50 feet above pool. Bass are feeding on shad and bluegill gearing up for winter. There has been a decent concentration of fish shallow and deep. Use live-scop to locate offshore bass and have an umbrella rig or a minnow on a jig head ready. Cast a weightless 5 inch stick bait in shad and bluegill patterns for shallow fish. Mix in a dropshot, Carolina rig, and Texas rig worm on the edge of the grass line. Crappie are schooled up on main lake brush piles hitting crappie jigs or minnows. Use a lighter jig head as the water cools down if the wind allows for it. Water clarity 3-4 feet of visibility. Report by Captain Kirk Pasalich, Artifishable Fishing Guide Service.
