LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, STAINED & LOW 80’S


Bass fishing is slow. The dog days are in full effect. Fish are slow and sluggish to react. Fish are mainly deep but a few largemouth can be found lurking the shallows. Largemouth are spooky to say the least with more followers than takers on the swim bait. The triple trout and the Sliding gizzard in 6in have worked the best. In low light condition the jig is the best way to approach these shallow fish. As usual the drop shot bite is best for numbers. No large schools founds as of late. Mostly we are targeting loner bass off points in 10 to 20 feet deep suspended. The Big Bite 3 inch jointed jerk minnow and the 4 in sunrise Shaky Squirrel fished on 6 pound Sniper fluorocarbon with a number 4 Gamakatsu DS hook.

Line sides fishing is fair. The fish are starting to move north and can be caught from the Dam to the S turns. The flats on the north end of the lake seems to be holding more fish than the flats mid lake but the fish we are catching in the mid section of the lake seem to be bigger. Down lining shad has been working best for us. The numbers are nowhere near what they were just a few weeks ago. But if you're in the right place at the right time boating 20 plus fish can be had in a very short time. Trolling is fair. The key to catching these fish is to bottom bump your umbrella rigs on the flats with an 18 to 20 foot bottom. Top water is good and best in the afternoon. There has been some really good top water action near the dam and also mid lake from Clear Creek to Galt’s Ferry.
