or 21 years, Dr. Tim Malcolm owned and operated a veterinary hospital in Americus, Georgia. Since selling his practice in March of 2005, he has been blessed with the opportunity to pursue one of his other life-long interests, tournament bass fishing on a larger scale.

This web site has been designed to promote his fishing sponsors. They consist of a select group of companies with which he has done business for many years and whom he highly recommends.

As a unique twist, Dr. Tim will also answer e-mails concerning general animal health-related questions and he sells pet medications online, both prescription and non-prescription. He will also post periodic fishing reports on Lake Blackshear, Lake Eufaula and other lakes that he is fishing on his tournament schedule.

report from Lake Eufaula

Conditions on Lake Eufaula are as follows.

The current lake elevation is 189.60. The surface temperature is running around 90 degrees. The water on the main lake and in the creeks is clear to very slightly stained. The fish are in their typical summer pattern right now. A few fish can be caught around grass next to deeper water early on top water baits and spinnerbaits. This bite dies quickly once the sun gets up and quality fish are scarce. The quality fish are being caught on river ledges and deeper creek channel ledges. As is typical this time of the year, you can really increase your odds of catching a decent stringer by fishing when current is being generated at the dam. The fish feed much more aggressively when current is being generated and they are bunching up in slightly shallower water (14-15 feet) On my last trip, a deep-diving crankbait in the sexy-shad color produced some nice fish under these conditions.

If current is not present, the fish feed less aggressively and are much more scattered. Under these conditions, it has been necessary to really slow down and fish a Carolina rig, Texas, rig or jig in the thickest brush you can find in water anywhere from 8 to 22 feet deep. A June Bug / Red Bio Bait 6 inch finesse worm has been particularly good the last couple of weeks. The fish will be in the same general areas that they group up when water is moving. Again, however, they will be more scattered and more difficult to catch. These patterns should hold up for several weeks unless we have an unforeseen drastic change in water levels. As always. enjoy God's creation, and do your part to help protect it!
