LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 2.3 FEET, 80’S & CLEAR

Bass fishing is good. Start the day on the main lake with the Sammy 115 in American Shad. Cast it long distances to any schooling fish once they surface. Be ready as a line side may show up too. Use a spinnerbait by burning it just under the surface. Be sure to use a good trailer hook because those schoolers can be finicky and often short strike. Once the sun gets up and the schooling comes to an end, find a brush piles in the 25 foot range and put your boat right over the brush and irritate the fish by keeping your bait in the vicinity of the brush and just shaking it. The Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology can sweep these areas and show you the schools of bait and the fish close by. On the full moon, fish as early every day for a few days as possible. The bluff wall Senko bite is also starting. Try the 4 inch Senko's in blue pearl color rigged on 10 pound Sufix Elite line and a 4/0 Mustad offset worm hook. Just twitch the Senko up near the surface and let it fall about 10 feet then work it back up toward the surface and then start the process over on the next cast.

Lineside fishing is fair. The fish have moved out over the river channel and they are schooling in depths between 20 to 40 feet deep. Trolling seems to be your best bet right now. Live bait will also catch you a few fish. Down line your bait over the river channels between 20 to 40 feet deep. Make sure you use long leaders 6 to 8 feet long. White bass fishing is still the best bite on the lake. These fish are schooling on top from sun up to sun down. Just ride until you find them on the mid lake area. A Zara Spook Jr. is working these little line sides. Trolling is by far the best bite right now. Troll your umbrella rigs right in the middle of the river channel. We are using a four arm loaded with nine all white jigs 120 feet back at 2.4 miles per hour.
