Striped Bass
While not as renowned as some other Georgia locations, the Oconee River near Tennille can offer a shot at Striped Bass. These fish are not as abundant as other species in the area, but they are present and can provide a thrilling challenge. Your best chances are during the cooler months, primarily late fall through early spring, when the stripers move upstream. Target deeper holes and areas with strong current, especially near the confluence of feeder creeks. Large swimbaits, bucktails, and live shad are popular bait choices. A crucial piece of advice: check the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fishing regulations for the Oconee River, as there may be specific size and creel limits for striped bass. Also, be prepared to cover a lot of water, as stripers can be scattered. Success often depends on persistence and a willingness to experiment with different lures and techniques. While not a guaranteed catch, landing a striper in this area is a rewarding experience.
