             As Dog Days begen to be on us, you begen to notice that the song birds will daily lower their voices until not one will sing.  That is when we of old remember being warned about mad dogs, mad foxes,  mad coons and possums.  This is the time when the dog star shins, to me it is a sorry time of year when no birds sing.

            Our most exciting fishing this week has been the Crappie, they have bit most every day this week mostly on Jigs, there has been some catches made on Minnows, but they are not as big as the ones taken on Jigs.

            Catfish came on strong on the days that the wind would let the folks fish.  One boat had over 60 Cats taken on Wigglers.  We understand that the Mussels have begun to die off due to the heat, that is why some folks will not catch cats due to the Mussels being so plentiful.  A Worm fisherman will most likely do well with worms.

            We have had many Big Bream off beds taken had 45 big ole hand painted Bream to put in the Crisco.  Nuthin like a fresh caught fish cook while still Flippin’, Hush Puppies and Sweet Tea.

            There was some very good Bass taken on calm days, Mr. Tim Kerner of Baton Rouge landed a 7 pounder and several others on top water.  We had some Macon folks do very good on top water all day one day, next day did good morning and got blowed off the lake in the afternoon.  It’s odd how everything now days, depends so much on the weather.

            The Valdosta Bassmasters fished out of Wingate’s on Saturday with Morgan Sprint winning with 20 lbs. and 14 oz.   He had the Big Fish with 6.7 lbs.

            Mike Prindle of the Hydrilla Gnats Bass Club out of Wingate’s placed first in the Georgia Division of the BASS Federation Tournament.  He will go on to the Regional Tournament in November.  We wish him the best of luck in his fishing.

Justin Millians of Crawfordville, FL with a nice 6 lbs.,12 oz. Bass he caught on Sunday while out with guide Mike Sloan.
