Eastman Lake Largemouth Bass Fishing
Eastman Lake Largemouth Bass Tips: [ Add Tip ]
- Use live minos without weight and only cast 5 to 10 feet off the bank.monsters are waiting just out of sight.
Largemouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
Largemouth bass fishing is going to be pretty slow at 79 degree water temperature. Bass will start moving much slower and feeding less aggressively until the water temperature starts to get back down to comfortable levels. When the water temperature is up this high, it's time to get out fishing early and late in the day when the sun is not on the water. When you can get out for the entire day, it's a great time to fish some deeper water. Many large bass are taken this time of year since bass fishermen typically gets out deeper and fish slower with larger baits. Like any other time of year, the slower you fish with bigger baits on the deep drops and river channels, the better chance you have at a lunker. This is a great time to catch a trophy. Good luck out there today!

Eastman Lake Crappie Fishing
Eastman Lake Crappie Tips: [ Add Tip ]
- Just like the big mouth bass these little guys are covering the banks of this lake- small worms and minos will littler you with fish during the day.
Crappie Tips for Current Conditions:
Your lake crappie will be much more lethargic in the water temperature. They will be in deeper and cooler water. Crappie will be feeding; however they will not be feeding aggressively unless the other fishing factors are at prime levels. Find some moving water that is clear and you should find some more aggressive fishing.

Well i hope somebody heard what I had to say about the day Eastman was to open back up, if you missed it, then you truly missed an amazing day of fishing. Id didn't weigh my fish but if i were to guess a five fish bag weight for a tournement, I would guess it to have been close to 25 Lbs. that is a five Lb average. I dont care what lake your on that is a great day. As on now, the bight has not stopped but the size of the fish has drastically changed. I can still boat 30 fish, but most are in the ten to 14 inch range, still fun to catch just not the size I prefer. I think the lake has had alot of presure as of late, that will slow down and the big fish will be more eager to bight. So be patient, and remeber to let the big ones go, take a picture it last longer. So always set the hook and grip some lips, good luck fishing, Bri-lo.

Just a heads up for my fellow fisherman. Eastman is currently shut down for repairs due to a rock slide. Dont worry, as much as I dislike the lake being shut down it is also a blessing. With no pressure for the next couple of weeks will only improve the bite. So when the time comes and the lake is open be ready to set the hook and lip some fish. Eastman is truly a trophy lake, even when the fishing is heavy, so with this little break it will be like opening day of dove season, you wont be able to keep them off you line. So get ready and I will see you there...Bri-lo :)

I just hit the lake on Thursday March 31, 2011, and the bite was on. Started about 3:30 in the aftrnoon and fished till dark. Hammered Large Mouth on 4" Ox Blood Senko's about ten feet off the bank. Stay out of the coves...no bite. Stick to the points or steep banks. The flats are not hitting yet. Landed 27 fish, big fish was 3 Lbs+. Give two more weeks of good weather and that number will double...good luck fishing, Bri-lo.

Have been fishing here for the past 12 weeks. Been skunked 5 of those times...husband has never been skunked until this past weekend 11/21 because he was blown off the lake. Fish with weightless senkos of all colors and you will catch bass.
Eastman Lake Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The affects of the moon on freshwater fish and game are at a minimum right now. There will be another full moon coming up here in a few days. The fisherman should never use this as an excuse to not get on the water. The affects of the moon can only enhance the outcome of a day's fishing not decrease potential catch for today. On days without the new or full moon, all other factors including weather, barometric pressure, wind and cloud cover will make up today's equation for success.
