    Default Fall striper fishing on Clarks Hill


    Planning on a week fishing this fall and was wondering what month is the best? Will be staying down near Modoc. Thanks in advance.

    October is usually a good fall striper bite, but no personal Clarks Hill experience

    I agree with Foxy, October is a pretty good month for stripers on Clarks hill. At some point during the month there should be some schooling activity too!
    Last year I had the Cooper family stay at my house down there for a week in Oct. They had a great time and I helped them catch 12-15 per day. While not stellar numbers, they say they had a great time!

    Also, when the crows go to the woods in the fall and it gets quiet on the water, the Crappie turn on too! Look up old posts from Butch (Gabowman) and you'll see what I'm talking about!!

    Been going down in Jan. last few years and fishing down towards Ga. Little River so we are going to stay near Modoc this fall. Have Bobby Brown booked for April 15 for a week next year. You been catching lots of fish?

    Last Sunday morning we caught 14. 9 stripers, 4 cats and 1 perch. Midlake on a point. The lake is quickly losing oxygen in the deep places so the fish are moving to more comfortable places. They're hard to keep up with this time of year.
    We always spend the week around April 16th down there for my buddy Perry's birthday....

    Sounds like a good catch Chris. Especially for as hot and humid as it's been. Congrats.

    Mid to late December can be really good. Once the lake gets into the mid 50’s. Fish get in the creeks good and group up.

    For a fall bite I like it when the surface temps are bumping 70* or slightly lower at first light.
