LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 8.5, 50S, STAINED


This Lake Allatoona bass fishing guides report is from Matt Driver, www.proanglerradio.com


Bass fishing is good. The fish are suspended out and easily targeted if you have good sonar. The 10 to 15 foot range mouths of creeks and few coves where the channel swings. The deep soft plastic swim bait, and float n fly have been doing the trick. The jig bite has been great as well. Steeper rock banks or rocky points is the place to be. The brown and purple KK Dock monkey and the Kaci’s Custom green pumpkin are catching good quality fished on 12 pound test Sun line sniper. The warmer weather this weekend will get a few fish up shallow and some have even been caught on top. The warm spell will also bring some rain.


This Lake Allatoona striper and hybrid report fishing report has been brought to you exclusively by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service, 770 827 6282 www.firstbiteguideservice.com Lake Allatoona, Georgia email eidson6260@att.net


Line side fishing is great. The bite has been incredible this month. The big fish are moving back out of the rivers and into the main lake. The smaller fish are bunching up in big schools and are eating. The north end of lake has been best for the bigger fish. Flat lines and down lining large gizzard shad is the ticket if you want to catch a trophy. Look for these fish from Fields Landing to Duck hole. If it’s numbers you’re after, look for big schools of hybrids from the mouth to Kellogg’s to Clark Creek on the edges of the river channel. Seagulls are giving these fish away. Threadfin fished 18 to 30 feet deep midday has been our better bite. This is the best fall fishing we have seen in years. It’s been a very pleasant surprise for me.
