LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 50S+


Lake Oconee Line Side report brought to you by Mark Smith at Reel Time Service. 404 803 0741. www.reeltimeguideservice.com


The lake is full. The rivers are stained, the main lake is clearing Richland Creek is clear. The temperature is 59 64.


Bass fishing is good. The fish have started moving into the creeks and coves all over the lake. A small crank bait fished around wood have been producing the best number. Slower moving baits like a jig have been producing the larger fish. Work the docks in the middle area of the creek. Some good fish are also coming on main lake points going into coves and pockets off the main lake. Work these area with the slower baits. Spinner baits fished on the bridge rip rap has started to produce some fish over the past week.


Striper fishing is good to very good. The fish are showing up at the dam but the bite has been up and down like the weather. I have found fish from Great Waters to the dam and then back up in Richland to Rocky Creek. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools and you can drop a small shiner into the school. The flat line plainer board bite has picked up this week, it works best early mornings. The mini Mack fished on a down line at .5 mph have been deadly on the down line fish. This is a new way to fish the mini Mack and it is working very well.

Crappie fishing is fair, good, great. The long line bite has taken off over the past few days. The fish are in the mouths of the coves and are feeding on double 1/16 jigs. Match the color to the color of the water just make sure it has some chartreuse in the jig. The fish have been in the water column from 7 to 12 feet deep.
