Bartlett Lake is just shy of 100% full and the average water temp is around 85 degrees. Making it a good time to get out to Bartlett Lake for some largemouth bass.
It’s the time of year where the largemouth bass is feeding more aggressively and will fee multiple times throughout the day. The bite pattern can change from day-to-day but the anglers who have been timing it right are cleaning up.
For best results: For bass, use a Panther Martin rubber minnow out at Rattle Snake Cove in the morning.
Bartlett Lake is also a great catfish lake. Try worms, chicken liver, stink baits, and hot dogs. Most anglers are doing well whether on shore or in a boat.

Bartlett Lake has an elevation of 1789 ft making it 87% full.
Anglers are reporting that fishing is good out at Bartlett Lake. The largemouth bass are biting on crank baits, and drop shot with plastics. Bluegills are biting mealworms, crickets or small portions of earthworms on a small hook with a bobber.
For best results: To catch largemouth, try fishing the points at about 20 feet of water. Using the drop shot with plastics seems to be working best. For the bluegills, try shore fishing around rocky areas. They seem to be more aggressive in these areas. Live bait seems to be working best but if you’re not a fan of live bait, try 1/32 oz or smaller jigs, grubs or spinnerbaits.

Lake elevation is 1,796 feet, which is 98-percent full.
Fishing is fair to good with the bass biting. Use drop shot, blades, and lizards.
Crappie fishing is a little slow but some are biting. Go to the Yellow Cliffs for your best shot.
Best bet for largemouth - use a Carolina rig with jigs across the bottom.

Large mouth bass can be caught with plastics and crankbaits.
Try hitting the rocks with cranks to get fish to bite.
Jigs are also working for the largemouth.
For top water action, it’s a little slow right now but is decent right at dawn until about 9 a.m. Go deeper with drop shot and plastics after 9 a.m.
Also try spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jigs, and black/silver Hula Grubs.
Best spot:Jojoba Boat Ramp in 5 to 8 feet of water. Also the west end of the lake in the mornings and then on the east side in the evenings.
Flathead catfish are being caught at the upper end by Ship Rock at night with a full moon. Next full moon, October 25.
