Black bass: Guide Josh Rockefeller (706-513-6152) and tournament angler Tyler Matthews of Evans, Georgia, report that in July they expect a buzzbait or Whopper Plopper to often be the best way to catch quality fish, while numbers of bass can be caught deeper over humps and around brush on worms or jigs. There can also be schooling activity shallow or deep at times.Striper and hybrids: Little River Guide Service (706-210-3474) reports that at the end of June the fish were still fairly shallow early, but in July fish should be found 40-plus feet down suspended over deep water. They will be caught on down-lined herring.Crappie: Little River Guide Service reports that the crappie fishing was good through June but could slow in the July heat. In July fish should be found on the deepest brush, and fishing vertically with minnows is usually the best pattern.Catfish: Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that the best fishing in July will again be in the early morning or late evening. Anchoring on humps and points and fishing with cut bait at a variety of depths is the best bet. As the spawn mostly passes, fishing should improve for both big fish and numbers of fish.
