LAKE OCONEE IS FULL

This Lake Oconee report is from Captain Mark Smith of Reel Time Guide service. Phone 404 803 0741 or email at reeltime@bellsouth.net

Bass fishing is fair. The temperature is 68/71. North of the 44 bridge is stained up to I20.The rivers are a heavy stain. The main lake is clear. The bait is starting to stack up in the middle of the creeks and large coves in the mid lake area. The bus bait bite is on. Sea walls and rip rap early and late. Small crank baits fished on the secondary points and boat docks in this area will draw some strikes. Also soft plastics fished under docks and around wood structure will also produce.

Striper fishing is good and improving every day. Some fish are showing up around the bait in the river bend area Use your Lowrance to locate the schools and drop a minnow into the school. Also put out a flat line or two for an extra fish. Trolling the Mini Mack has been off the chain good early. Then switch to live bait. There is a good early morning bite at the dam. Spoons are the best bet there.

Crappie fishing is good. This is the best and most consistent bite going. The summer down line bite on top of timber and brush piles has produced large numbers and size over the past week Find the fish in the top of the timber with your Lowrance down scan and drop a minnow or a jig into the school and hang on. The long line bite has also started to produce good numbers of fish in the same areas.
