Lake Tobesofkee - by Steve Powell

Live bait is the specialty at Little’s Bait & Tackle.  Paul still has a good selection of artificial baits.  When I was there last, I also couldn’t believe the discount prices he had on spinning reel combos and he still has some of those left.  I mean to tell you all that you cannot get a bass pro shop graphite spinning rod and a nice open face reel for $25.00.  That’s unheard of.  I also want to mention that he has some of those South Bend brim busters in stock.  They are going fast at $15.00 each and that’s a $10 savings compared to the pricing of the same item at the big discount super store.  At Little’s Bait & Tackle you can pick up most anything you will need for your fishing trip. Ask Paul to give you a striper and hybrid report from Lake Juliette.  He has been going over there and catching a lot of them lately and they are big ‘uns.  They have the coldest drinks in town.  They also have a great selection of snack items and convenience items.  Be sure to fill up your gas tank and ice your coolers down.  Go see them today at 6140 Thomaston Rd. or call Paul Little, Jr. at 478-477-6949.  They are located just 1 ˝ miles from Interstate 475. Stop in at KC’s Bait and Tackle before you go to Lake Juliette or Lake

Tobesofkee.  Joe at KC’s tells me that folks are buying a lot of chicken livers and pinks and are catching the heck out of hybrids and stripers with that bait at Lake Juliette.  At Tobesofkee a lot of stripers are being caught with chicken livers right now and that is the bait of choice.    Best time to catch Crappie is real early when the sun comes out and it’s also good at night.  Crappie are being caught behind the dam and under the bridges.  Also, try the Duck Pond area on the north end of the lake.  Best time for bass fishing is from around 5:00 p.m. on into the night.  Mike is selling a lot of shiners for night time right now.  Mike carries a full line of artificial baits that are proven for the area.  Remember, if your rod or reel needs repair, they can fix it at KC’s too.  Stop in before you hit Tobesofkee because they stock anything you could possibly need for a day out on the water.  Make sure and pick up all your convenience store items there, too.  He is located at 5452 Thomaston Rd. in Macon, Georgia.  Call Mike and the crew today for their fishing report at 478-474-8968.
