What you need to know about fishing Chatuge Lake

Lake Chatuge is located on the state line between Georgia and North Carolina. Being home to Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, and Walleye make this a very popular fishery. This variety really gives fishermen options. Having all three of the major species of bass also make this a popular lake for large scale tournaments. Bass can be caught by focusing on shallow cover like docks or laydowns, but can also be caught offshore during the warmer months when they school up. Crappies and Bluegills are often found around brush piles on tapering points or in the backs of creeks. Because this lake is located in both Georgia and North Carolina, regulations for both states apply, make sure you are up to date on current laws and have proper licensing.
