  • Lake Oconee Fishing Report - GA

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


    Lake Oconee is full, the water temperature is 44 to 48 degrees. Most of the lake is clear with some stain up the rivers. Bass fishing is slow. The best bite this week has come on the spoon fished on the humps and road beds on the south end of the lake. Use your Lowrance to locate the fish on the sides of the humps and then drop a spoon into them. You can also find some fish in the river bend area of the lake just of the river channel. These fish will take a spoon also. They will be as deep as 30ft. Some of the bigger fish have come in this area. It is really cold so you need to thinks slow, if you can put your trip off for a little while then that is what I would do. If now is the time to go then go slow.


    Striper fishing is fair. The fish are starting to show up all over the lake. The water quality is good every where and 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 slow. The fish have moved into deeper water and out to the mouths of the creeks. We have seen some fish come from as deep as 30 feet. These deeper fish are coming on minnows fished just off the river channel. 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. If the water worms up the fishing will improve.


    We have another very cold weather front this week. Air temperatures are very cold and the fish will react to the weather by not feeding and relating the heavy structure with the very cold temperatures and high pressure. Any warm water you can find can have active bass. They still have to eat.

    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 Service at 404 803 0741 or reeltime@bellsouth.net
