    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 70 S

    BY CAPTAIN MARK SMITH, REEL TIME GUIDE SERVICE 404 803 0741 reeltime@bellsouth.net

    The lake is full and clear over most of the lake, light stain up the rivers. The temperature is 71 to 76. The bass have started to move out of the deep water and a few are chasing bait into the coves and creeks all over the lake. A buzz bait at first light will still produce for the first hour of daylight. Soft plastics fished under docks and around wood structure in the mouth of the coves mid lake will produce during daylight hrs. Crank baits fished around bridge rip rap will also produce when Georgia Power is pulling water in the afternoons. We are starting to see a lot of shad showing up in the coves all over the lake. The fall shad movement has started.

    Striper fishing is fair. The stripers are starting to show up around the river bend area of the lake. The live bait bite has started. Down lines as well as flat lines will produce. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools of bait and the stripers will be close by.

    Crappie fishing is fair to good. This is the best fishing on Oconee right now. Long lining (trolling) will produce some nice catches. You will need to run your jigs about 10 to 12 feet deep. Down lining crappie minnows into tree tops and on ledges on the main lake at 10 feet deep will also produce a lot of fish. Use your Lowrance to locate the fish in the tree tops and then drop your bait down to the fish.
