Thread: Blackshear water conditions

With all the rain, were would you fish this Saturday? The few times that I fished Blackshear I fished Cedar Creek and at the 300 bridge. Any suggestions? Thank

Last I went water was real stained we hit the deep water all day around 280 bridge and didn't put very many in the boat but all caught were quite large caught a few over 2lbs. Few guys struck gold down around 300 bridge said for some reason the water was clear down there. If I go back anytime soon I will go down south until water clears.

Thanks, sounds good to me!

We went Sunday for a while without a lot of luck. As said above, the fish we caught we really good fish just not many. We pulled 20-25' FOW with jigs running 12-15. Water was stained but not bad. Any dark color seemed to work.

Thanks for the info justfish...I'll be there Saturday. Been a few months since I have fished Blackshear, been concentrating on Oconee

What was the water temps?

Welcome Mooselips, glad you joined the site. Good luck fishing this weekend.

Dutch The temps were mid 40s to 49 by end of day. This was Cedar creek to the dam.
