Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass near Barnesville requires a bit of a drive, as the local lakes and ponds aren't typically known for them. However, a short trip to the Flint River offers a reasonable shot at hooking into these powerful fish. Spring is the prime time for stripers as they migrate upstream to spawn. Focus on areas with current and structure, such as bridge pilings and submerged trees. Sprewell Bluff Park provides good access to the Flint River. Trolling live shad or casting swimbaits and crankbaits are effective methods. Keep an eye on water levels, as the Flint can fluctuate significantly. The stripers in this section of the Flint may not reach the trophy sizes found in larger reservoirs, but they still offer a thrilling fight. Also be aware of any seasonal closures or size restrictions before fishing.
