The fall colors on the Lake are in their prime. Rich deep reds and the hickory trees rust red, the gum trees red, the dogwoods rusty red, the china berry yellow, the ash, the willows, I guess no one will ever be able to describe the colors in words so see for yourself by boat trip from Bainbridge to the dam, or by car down GA 97 to Hutchinson Ferry, 2 miles down it to Boosters Club Road then to the Dam, it is a site to behold.
The youth waterfowl days are Nov 15-16, the regular duck season is Nov 22-30 and Dec 6- Jan 25. Not much change in the bag limits except 3 wood ducks instead of 2 and no canvasbacks this year at all, don’t even think about it!!!
The Bainbridge Bass Club fished on Lake Eufalla with the following results: 1st went to Lance Whiddon who had 6.15 lbs, 2nd went to Richard Predmore with 6.04, 3rd went to Joey Farris with 6.03 lbs. Big fish was 4 lbs. That is tough fish for a one day catch.
The Big Bend Basss Club fished 2 days on Lake Seminole. 1st place went to Leon Roy V with 22.27, David Mock was second with 15.76, third place went to Eric Wells with 5.01, their Big fish was 5.01. Eddie Ditto was 5th, if 3rd place was 5.01 Eddie must have caught 2 , iddy bitsy, tiny oncy ones to be in 5th, however he redeemed hisself Sunday morning with a nice 7 lbs on a trap and 4 others on Carolina Rig.
Billy Willis took another big catfish on his floating jugs. The best fish of the week again goes to the crappie, they come in very good on minnows some boats with near 2 limits.(60). 1 boat had only 28 but they were all slabs and filled his cooler to the top.
We look for a hard cold winter this year so bring in your plants cover those you cain’t bring in.
Added note, “what ever happened to the fast food restaurants,” they are slow as cream risen on milk.
