Fresh Carters Lake Fishing Reports

Blue ridge lake and Carters lake is absolutely on fire right now. Dont miss out on fantastic fishing

? Carters Lake Fishing Report – June 17th Location: Ellijay, GA Brought to you by Captain Hoek Fishing Adventures The bite is heating up on Carters Lake as we move into the heart of June. Water temperatures are holding steady around 82°F, and the stripers and hybrid bass have been active, especially on sunny days. We’re finding fish suspended around 50 feet over 80–100 feet of water, primarily in the mouths of major creek arms. The go-to tactic continues to be downlining live herring, which has been producing solid numbers of both stripers and hybrids. Clients have enjoyed steady action, with some quality fish coming over the rails. The clear, calm mornings with lots of sunshine have been the most productive, so get out early and be ready for the morning feed. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a day on the water, now’s a great time to get on the lake. Book your trip today with Captain Hoek Fishing Adventures and let’s put you on some fish!

Carters Lake Fishing Report – May 2025 Brought to you by Cap’n Hoek Fishing Adventures May has delivered a fair amount of rainfall to the Carters Lake region, leading to fluctuating water levels and some stained conditions. Despite these challenges, the fishing remains productive for those targeting striped bass, spotted bass, and walleye. Water temperatures have been averaging around 78°F, keeping fish active and on the move. Striped Bass: Stripers have been feeding well around creek mouths and shallow-water markers on the main lake. Live bait fished on slip floats and freelined rigs in 10 to 20 feet of water has been the go-to approach. Early mornings and overcast conditions have been especially productive. Walleye: Walleye are holding deeper, with the most consistent action coming from 20 to 25 feet of water. We’ve been catching them using downlined live bait along rocky points and deeper ledges. Stay mobile and cover ground until you mark fish. Spotted Bass: Spotted bass are biting well in the 5 to 10-foot range, particularly near the mouths of creeks. Target shallow cover and transition areas with soft plastics or live bait presentations. The bite has been steady throughout the day, with peak activity during early morning hours. The post-rain conditions may require a bit more effort, but the fish are still hungry and willing to bite. Stay flexible, fish smart, and you’ll find success out on the water. Tight lines from Cap’n Hoek Fishing Adventures!

The bite is golden for big spotted bass and walleye. The rods are folding down pretty fast early morning and tapering off by lunch time.
