  • Lake Oconee Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 50’S BY CAPTAIN MARK SMITH, REEL TIME GUIDE SERVICE.


    The weather will slow the fishing until mid week. Find the shad and this is when the Lowrance Structure Scan Side imaging technology can play a major role in successful fishing or not. Baitfish move into the creeks and bass follow them.


    Lake Oconee is full, the water temperature is 59 to 61 degrees. Most of the lake is clear with some stain up the rivers. Bass fishing is fare. Small crank baits fished around docks and wood structure will draw a strike. Most of the fish are in the 5 to 10 ft. water column. There are a lot of fish in the middle of the coves in the middle of the lake. These fish are not relating to anything, so they are hard to target. They can be caught with a crank bait fish from the 10 to 15 feet of water depth. They will show up on your Lowrance. When you see them you can target them with a crank bait as well as spoons. There is still a buzz bait bite on sea walls and rip rap from the 44 bridge to river bend.


    Striper fishing is good to very good. The fish are starting to show up all over the lake, the water quality is good everywhere. The fish are from one end of the lake to the other. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools and you can catch them with spoons and live bait. We have been using bass minnows but shad will also work. This is some of the best fishing of the year don't miss out on the great fishing right now.


    Crappie fishing is 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. Long line trolling will also produce good number when you troll over the timber. The timber in Sugar Creek has been the best producer in the last few days, you can also find fish between the bridges in Lick Creek.


    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
