In addition to that, spots
are currently making up about 25 percent of the black bass population in
Lake Jackson, and their prevalence is increasing. The first spotted bass
found in biologists' shocking surveys didn't show up until 1998, so their
numbers have increased quite quickly. Spotted bass only average 9 or 10
inches in length in this site. Something like 15 percent of the spotted bass
in the lake are more than 15 inches long.
At first glance, spotted bass are almost impossible to differentiate from
largemouths. Spotted bass usually have a sandpaper-like tooth patch on the
tongue, which the latter lack. Also, the rear of the jaw does not extend
behind the eye as it does in largemouths, and lastly, the spiny and soft
dorsal fins are connected with a shallow notch not reaching all the way to
the body.
Largemouths weighs between ¾ pound and 1 pound, but about half the bass in
the population are more than 15 inches long. While the real giants are less
common than they once were, the population is well balanced and fish in a
good range of sizes are well represented.
In Middle Georgia, Lake Jackson is well thought-out to be one of the oldest
reservoirs. The lake is an outstanding trophy bass lake. Over the years, its
waters have produced countless double-digit-weight largemouths, and the lake
record stands at 14 pounds, 7 ounces.
Lake Jackson lead away the waters of the Alcovy, South and Yellow rivers
where they join at the head of the Ocmulgee River and is located about 45
miles southeast of Atlanta. It is no longer the trophy bass factory that it
once was. Nevertheless, it remains a great place for finding good fishing
for decent-sized largemouths, with a few spotted bass thrown in as a bonus.
It also remains as one among the known lakes in the central part of the
state, both because of its proximity to the Atlanta metropolitan area and
because of its time-earned angling reputation.
In not more than 30 miles from Lake Jackson, there situated another lake
known to be Oconee, which has also gained recognition and had become a
favored destination of fishermen especially from the Atlanta area, and
similarly serves up fast black bass action.
Georgia has really a lot to offer when it comes to bass fishing so better
check it out yourself if you want to experience the beauty and fascination
of being involved with bass fishing.
