LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 7.4 FEET, 50’S & CLEAR

This Bass fishing report is by Matt Driver.

Bass fishing is good, but has slowed a bit due to the sharp drop in temperature. By the end of the weekend we will see the bite begin to improve as warmer temperatures prevail. With the weather dilemma we have had to change tactics slightly. The fish that have committed shallow for the spawn will stay in those general areas, they just may be much less active. The front will definitely negatively affect those fish that were close to spawning or fish that were just starting to move up. It is truly hard to say exactly what the prevailing pattern will be post front. The jerk bait bite is probably the best thing going currently. The Spro McStick in natural pattern finished super slow is getting good quality right now. Also the Big Bite suicide Shad finished on a quarter and ounce jig head and Sunline 12 pounds sniper Fluorocarbon fished on points it's catching a few fish. Until the water stabilizes slow is the ticket. By the middle of next week we see things changing quite a bit and the soft plastic jerk by and wacky rig finesse worm bite getting good. I also think the crank bait Bite will get good. Bluff walls and points with large rock and boulders are great places to target with the Spro Little John DD and Fat Papa. Be expecting water tends to climb rapidly and the Spawn to begin in a few weeks.

Line side fishing is good. The south end of the lake is still holding fish. But not as many as weeks past. We have done really well mid lake this week. And have heard there has been a few good fish caught near the delta this week. The fish are still hitting flat line and planner board’s best early morning. By 930 am change over to down lines and umbrella rigs. The spring run has started. The white have already started running up the river. The top water bite is also starting to pick up. The flats at Little River and the Delta are starting to heat up at sun up and sun down. White Roster Tails are hard to beat when these fish are busting top water. April is one of the best months for Stripers and Hybrids on Lake Allatoona. And normally books up fast. If you would like to book a trip give us a call at 770 827 6282 for availability
