Does anyone have any info. about catching bass at the Hugh M. Gillis PFA in East Dublin, GA. I have been three times and have not caught any bass. I have only had bites but no takers. If anyone has any information, let me know.

Here is the latest report from the Georgia DNR. The full report for all lakes is at this address:

Hugh M. Gillis Public Fishing Area - Report for April 2004
Lake Level: Full pool.
Water temp: 60-62 degrees F.
Water clarity: lightly stained.
Bass: Good. During the March pre-spawn pattern, good action was reported using small crankbaits and suspended jerk baits. Most of these fish will be on the bed by early-April. A good bet for catching spawning or post-spawn fish can be expected by pitching a soft plastic worm or lizard in 2 to 4-feet shoreline structure. Anglers should be aware that no bass can be kept until June 2004.
Bream: Fair. Several limits of Fliers have been reported using minnows or small pieces of chartreuse Berkley Power Baits. Redear are on the upside with warming water. Look for these fish in 3 to 5-feet, fishing redworms near the bottom. Bluegill action should pick up by mid-April. Fishing near the bottom with worms or crickets at a depth of 3 to 4-feet may be your best bet.

Thanks Brendan. I went with a buddy not too long ago and we caught about fifteen flyers off of the crappie nibbles. Those are some hard fighting fish!

hey all for those of you who wanna know i'm the "buddy" that jeremy was talking about...i have fished the new lake a few more times than he has and a couple of times have done ok with the bass no huge "maulas" but all of decent size, you know in the 2-3lbs range...i have even seen some 5-6lbs caught and even rumores of an 8 pounder...this is not unlikely because the lake was made from a large creek...well i wish everone tight lines...and strong arms

We will have to go back again bass assassin. I believe the bass fishing will be better when the wind isnt killing us. I know there are bass in there. And we need to catch them before June when everyone starts taking them home for food and the population goes thin. I am ready to see some nice bass come out of that lake.
