  • Lake Oconee Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, UPPER 60 TO LOW 70 DEGREES

    Bass fishing is good. The lake is full, stained on the north end, clearing near the dam, Richland creek has light stain. Water temperature is 68 to 75 degrees. The shad are spawning. Start your day on a sea wall or rip rap. Shad raps, along with square billed crank baits that will run about 5 to 10 feet deep will be the best producers. Rat L Traps and 1/4 ounce white spinner baits will also produce fish. Mid day when the sun is high, fish soft plastics under and in the back of docks in the middle of the main lake creeks and large coves. Dark green and brown have been the best colors over the past week. Fish these on a Texas rig or a shaky head.

    Striper report by Mark Smith of Reel Time guide service, 404 803 0741 or reeltime@bellsouth.net

    Striper fishing is good. The stripers have moved away from the dam. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools on the humps in the mid lake areas. The fish have shown up as far north as the 44 bridge down to the humps near the dam. Live bait along with spoons will produce large catches of fish off of these humps. The umbrella rig has been producing the larger fish over the past week and it should get even better over the next few weeks. There are still a few fish up the rivers and they can be caught on live or cut shad.

    Crappie fishing is fair. Use a 1/16 jig head and long line it about 40 ft. from the boat. Over the past week the black green or black chartreuse curly tail grub. Look for fish in the middle to the back of the coves and major creeks on flats in the area. A lot of fish are starting to show up on the deeper brush piles and trees. Use your Lowrance structure scan to locate the fish in the tree tops and drop a live minnow to them.

    Make sure you stop by Sugar Creek Marina and pick up your spoons and all your tackle needs.
