LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, 70’S, CLEAR


Bass fishing is fair. The best thing going for the spots is the drop shot. We are seeing more fish taking smaller baits on the drop shot. Tiny Flukes and Baby Sluggos in shad colors on the steeper banks for the spots. Use 4 pound fluorocarbon line and a #4 Drop shot hook and a ¼ ounce quick drop shot sinker. It's ultra finesse time on the lake and watch for some scattered top water. It is fair but the action w limited all dat. A baby Zara Spook in bone is a good choice. If fishing is tough, get a heavy action 7 foot rod, spool a Johnny Morris bait casting reel and add a full spool of 14 pound Sufix clear line. Add a one ounce egg sinker, very important, and a 4 foot leader. Now add a Zoom pumpkinseed lizard on a 3/0 offset Mustad worm hook and fish every point you see. But, sit the boat in 30 feet of water before you make the cast. Fish this rig all the way back to the boat. If you make 15 casts and do not get a bite, move.

Grab your kids, get the boat and go fishing because it’s absolutely insane great right now. This is probably the best bite I have seen 10 years. The shad kill we had this winter probably contributes to a lot of the better bite we’re seeing this year. Fish are coming back down out of the rivers, starting to stage off the humps and flats from Kellogg Creek back over to Allatoona Creek. Threadfin shad and small gizzards fished off any of the ledges, the flats, and the river ledges, the mouths of the creeks and the main lake points have been working really well. Our boats have been averaging anywhere from 25 to 70 fish a day right now. After the sun gets up, they are moving over the river channels and can still be caught on down lined threadfin and small gizzard shad. The key is to stay on the edge of the river channel. That is key! You have to be within 10 feet of where the drop off point is on those ledges. Look for big schools to start to move south as the water warms into 80s. For those of you who don’t want to get up at 3 a.m. to catch bait, Striper Soup has plenty of shad in stock. The top water bite will be getting better. There is limited top water action right at sun up right now, but you have to be in the right place at the right time. It really isn’t worth targeting just yet. Trolling is fair at best but should heat up in the coming weeks.
