LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 60S


Bass fishing is fair. Small baits fished around rocky points, concrete sea walls, and dock posts will produce on most days. A Stanley jig and a Zoom trick worm on a Spot Remover shaky head will catch fish around the docks. The docks near the warm water discharge are good docks to try as the weather cools. Another consistent pattern is fishing deep with a spoon and a drop shot on the lower lake. Fish are starting to school up near the creek mouths relating to schools of shad. Use your Lowrance electronics to find the bait and structures these fish are holding on. Pull out the spoons out and watch for the bass to be close to the bottom with the Lowrance Sonar and Down Scan technology. Drop the spoon right to the bottom and use short hopping motions and the strike will be on the fall. Drop the spoon or drop shot down vertically through the school of fish and hold on.
