  • Lake Oconee Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, THE LAKE IS CLEAR ON THE SOUTH END STAINED TO MUDDY UP THE LAKE AND INTO THE RIVER TEMPRATURE 77 81BY CAPTAIN MARK SMITH, REEL TIME GUIDE SERVICE.

    Lake Oconee is full, the water temperature is 75 78 deg. Most of the lake is clear with some stain up the rivers. Bass fishing is fair to good. There is a strong top water bite from the I20 Bridge south to river bend. White buzz baits fished along sea walls and bridge rip rap have been producing will at first light. Then switch to a small crank bait or rattle trap, fish these around boat docks and the deeper sea walls. In the afternoon when Georgia Power is pulling water the bridge rip rap have been producing good catches with crank baits fished in 5 to 10 feet of water. You can still catch fish on the deep water humps on the south end of the lake with deep running crank baits. Fish these baits from the top of the humps into the deeper water.

    Striper fishing is very strong early in the morning on the pump back at the dam. Spoons have been the best bait at the dam. The large schools of fish have not returned to the lake as of this time. If we can get some cool weather and rain and wind the larger stripers will return to the main lake and they will be looking for the large schools of bait. When this happens use your Lowrance to locate the large school of bait, the stripers will not be far away. At this time live bait will be the best bait to use.

    Crappie fishing is good to very good. The fish are still on the submerged timber from 5 to 15 feet deep. Use your Lowrance to locate the trees with the most fish on them and then drop live bait or jigs into the top of the tree. This will produce good catches of crappie.

    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 as well as on the water Lowrance classes, with Reel Time Guide Service at 404 803 0741 or reeltime@bellsouth.net
