    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, MID 80’S DEGREES

    Bass fishing is fair to good. The lake is full and stained up the rivers clear on the south end. The water temperature is 76 to 82 degrees. Use a #7 Shad Rap around docks in the mouths of the creeks and large coves. Contact the dock polls and fish under the docks. Look for docks in 8 plus feet of water. A shaky head with a small green worm fished under the same docks. The water is cooling every day and the fish are moving into the coves and creeks. Start on the outside of creeks and work your way to the back. Some fish are still on the humps on the south end of the lake. Use a large crank bait and work the bait off of the hump into the deeper water.

    Striper and hybrid fishing is poor. Some fish are still on the mid lake humps and will feed when Georgia Power is pulling water. Trolling Shad Raps and Rat L Traps is a good way to catch these fish. There is an early morning spoon bite at the dam when Georgia Power is pumping water back into the lake.

    Crappie fishing is good. The fish are in deep water brush piles and tree tops. Look in the submerged timber with your Lowrance and locate the schools in the trees. When you find the fish drop you live shad down to the schools. As the water cools the fish are starting to move into the mouths of the creeks.

    Make sure you stop by Sugar Creek Marina and pick up your spoons and all your tackle needs. You can also book your crappie and striper trips with Reel Time Service at 404 803 0741 or reeltime@bellsouth.net. Learn how to use the Lowrance technology with Ken Sturdivant.
