Lake Rabun Burton Fishing Report
Wow. Longest summer I can remember! Finally some cooler weather to make these fish come up shallow and start feeding in a more routine pattern.
The Bass bite has been good te last couple of days. We have caught some really nice Large Mouth Bass in the backs of the Creek’s. Small topwater baits have been working best. We have good success throwing a small chrome Heddon Super Spook. The retrieve has been a little slower than normal and seems to get bit on the pause.
Look for these fish to feed for several hours during the day over the next week or so. The Spotted Bass bite has been decent on shallow points near the main lake. 5in Jerk baits have been working best. Try fishing 8 to 18ft depths for these Spots. Look for the Bass bite to increase significantly I’ve ethe next few weeks. This is my favorite time of year to catch a big sac of Bass on any of the Northern Lakes!
Trout
The Brown Trout bite has begun to be a little more consistent in the last week or so. We have been catching most of our fish on medium shinners down lined approx 20ft deep. Look for this bite to gradually get better. Some of the mature females are headed to spawn and will feed aggressively afterwards. The Trout bite will get better as the water temps cool off into the lower 60’s.
Speaking of lower 60 water temps. The Walleye bite shoud be firing up real soon. These fish seem to show up every year in and around the bank lines as the water gets cooler.
Good Luck!
