LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, 80’S, CLEAR

This Lake Allatoona Bass fishing report is by Matt Driver

Bass fishing is good but fish are somewhat scattered. We have unseasonably cool water temperatures this year and there are fish shallow as well as deep. The schools of smaller fish are fairly abundant in the creeks, and mouths of pockets. For the past few weeks there has been a great jig head bite/jig that after dark around mid depth brush. We are still catching quite a few fish off a soft plastic jerk bait like the big bite jerk minnow. The top water bite has slowed somewhat, but is still a good tactic first thing in the morning. There are a good amount of numbers of bass on bluff walls and can be caught on a drop shot with a 3/16 oz. weight and 7lb Sunline fluorocarbon. Keep an eye on your Lowrance sonar for bait in Fish activity. Be safe out there that like he's really busy.

Line side fishing hiss great. The downline bite is in full swing, and the hybrids are just killing live bait right now. Our boats are having very good mornings right now. On most days we are seeing 20 to 50 fish per boat on half day trips. Shad are still out fishing shiners, but the shiner bite is probably the best we have seen in years. But with that being shad are still out producing shiners 5 to 1. The better bite is on the south end of the lake. Stamp, Cooper Branch, Iron Hill, Red Top and Clark Creek are all fishing well right now. There is also a bite mid lake, but it just doesn’t compare to the bite on the south end. The trolling bite is also starting to pick up. And it is hard to beat the 4 arm umbrella rig loaded with nine 1/2 ounce jigs fished 100 feet out at 2.4 miles an hour. The top water bite is also starting to get good early and then again right before sundown within eyesight of the dam. Fishing right now is as good as it gets on Lake Allatoona.
