LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, 70’S, CLEAR


Bass fishing is good. The fish are moving out of their post spawn ritual. The top water bite fair. Once the sun gets high the main lake fish are going deep unless you find them in the shady areas. Look on the points at 10 to 27 feet deep and use a small drop shot using a 3/16 ounce drop shot sinker and a #4 Splitshot Dropshot Gamakatsu hook. Use a Yamamoto Cut tail in either Blue Pearl, Cinnamon Brown or Smoke color to mimic the small threadfin and spot tail minnows that you see all over the lake. Use smaller baits and just work the drop shot down the banks. Fish the brush you find with the Lowrance Down Scan technology and you can see the fish better with the FishReveal on the Down Scan beam. Skip under the docks for those fish seeking some cooler water.

Line side fishing is excellent. The bite is super, incredibly hot right now for huge numbers of hybrids. It's a summer bite that has already set up, and I have been doing nothing but fishing downlines. There are massive schools of hybrids stacked up in almost every major Creek from Kellogg Creek to Tanyard Creek. The fish are in 28 to 37 feet of water, and they are sitting near the bottom. Drop a threadfin or a small from Striper Soup, gizzard shad all the way to the bottom and give it a half crank up. This early bite has put more than 30 to 50 fish in the boat in just a few hours on recent trips. In the evening, there are white bass mixed in with very small hybrids and stripers schooling on the surface from Little River to Fields Landing and then from Victoria to Harbortown. You can catch tons of them with a Tiny Fluke or a Rooster Tail on 6 pound test line. Downgrade to ultralight gear and it's a ball. For bigger fish, the stripers have moved south to the main lake humps and points from Stamp Creek to Bethany Bridge and from Iron Hill to Clark Creek on the Allatoona arm. Keep an eye on your Lowrance. They'll be in 28 to 42 feet of water following bait in the water column. You can catch five to 10 in a trip on down lines and a dollar bill sized gizzards. Look for those hybrid schools to move to Kellogg and Bartow Carver as dissolved oxygen levels fall, possibly by late June. This is the best time of the year to introduce the kids to fishing. Give me a call at 770 827 6282 and book your family trip today.


The new Lowrance FishReveal software for the Gen 3, Elite Ti and CARBON machines makes spotting the fish on the DOWN SCAN super easy. The software is free on the Lowrance web site.
