  • Lake Oconee Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 50S

    The lake is full. The rivers are still muddy, the main lake is heavy stained from I20 to river bend, and river bend to the dam is stained. Richland Creek is starting to clear, still has a light stain. The temperature is 52 56.

    Bass fishing is slow. You will need to match the color of your bait to the water color. Whatever bait you use make sure it is dark makes noised, and puts off vibration. Small crank baits fished around docks and sea walls from the middle of the creeks to the back of the creeks. Also fish are starting to show up off of points in Richland Creek. Shad raps fished off of these points have produced.

    Striper fishing is fair to good. The fish are from the mouth of double branches up to the Ritz. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools and you can drop a small shiner into the school. There are a lot of fish in the upper water column. Target these fish with a flat line with no weight on it. Also you can troll a shad rap or mini Mack. You will need to fish these baits shallow.

    Crappie fishing is good. Long line trolling is the best bet for catching these fish. Fish a rig that will get you down into the fish which are holding from 10 to 15 feet deep. We have been using a double 1/16 rig. The darker color jigs are working best in the dark water. You can find fish from Sugar Creek to Richland creek. Your Lowrance will help you locate the schools, and then start trolling over them.

    Lowrance Structure Scan technology can make the search a lot faster. Scan five times the depth of the water with the Structure Scan Side imagining technology and fined the bait and the bass will there close by.
