LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 4.39 FEET, 70S, CLEAR


This Bass Fishing report is from Captain Todd Wynn


Bass fishing continues to be good on Lake Allatoona with great fishing in sight. With the weather starting to change and the water temperature dropping, the pattern is starting to change towards winter. The mane lake points are producing fish on crank baits, jerk baits and spinner baits. The wind blown points have been the most successful because the bait stacks up on these points, which intern draws in the spotted bass. Also, look for bass still in deep water. Look for trees or boulders in 20 to 30 feet of water. The best techniques for these fish are either drop shot or Shaky head.

Line side fishing is good. It looks October is going to be as good as September. The fishing this week prefrontal of the storm has been off the charts. Live bait has been good. But the top water bite has been incredible. The spoons along with trolling is also working right now. If you’re in the right place at the right time you can boat a mix bag of 30 plus stripers, hybrids, whites, spots and catfish in a very short time. Live bait like threadfin shad is still fishing best on free lines and down lines. But when their busting top water there's nothing that's going to beat a white Jr Fluke. The morning bite has been really good. But the afternoon bite may be better especially if you’re chasing the top water action. Trolling has been really good this past week. We are pulling the 4 arm light rigs loaded with 1/2 ounce buck tails with chartreuse trailers at 3.2 miles an hour a 120 feet behind the boat. Mid lake has been best midday. The top water bite can be great at times. The better bite seems to be at sun up and again at sun down. Somedays these schools will stay up and active for an hour.
