  • Lake Oconee Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, LOW 50’S

    Bass fishing is poor. The lake is full, muddy from the 44 bridge north, heavy stain over most of the lake. The Richland creek arm of the lake has the best water color and has been producing better than the Oconee side. Small crank baits with rattles fished on sea walls and around docks. Spinner baits fished along any rock bank will also draw a strike. There is also a spoon bite on the south end of the lake where Richland Creek and the Oconee come together. Find the schools on your Lowrance and drop a spoon down to the school.

    Striper fishing is poor. Early in the mornings there have been some birds working on the south end of the lake. When you find the birds think small bait. A 1/4 ounce jig head with a small supper fluke, a small rooster tail will work. Keep a Capt. Mack spoon ready for when the fish go down. Use your Lowrance to locate the school and drop the spoon down to the school.

    Crappie fishing is good to fair. The fish are moving into the coves and major creeks. The major creeks are stained so make sure you are using a dark jig and tip it with a minnow. Spider rigging is the best option. Start in the middle of the creeks and work to the back. The water is cold so think slow.

    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 Guide Service at 404 803 0741 or reeltime@bellsouth.net
