J.C. Murphy Lake, Newton County (all postings)

Went to J.C. Murphy Lake ( Willow Slough ) yesterday Most people there were fishing for Bluegills but not having much luck just a few here and there, I talked with one angler who did get a limit but they were small. I did however catch 30 or more bass in the 14 to 18 inch range. using purple worms , soft/plastic jerkbaits and rats. It is topwater and pitching at its finest, most of the fish I caught were in the back channels around patrol road in the lilly pads and brush but I was able to catch fish on the way back there ( one here and there ) and going back to the boat ramp. It is a good time to go and catch a bunch of fish the only thing is it is very weedy, don't let that discourage you bring a push pole, or have an extra battery for your trolling motor and you will have a blast.

Hope this Helps
