LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 80S


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 water temperature is 85 89. The lake is clear.


Bass fishing is fair. Buzz baits fished along sea walls and around docks will produce good size fish the first hr. of daylight and the last hr. of daylight. Keep a trick worm tied on and if the fish misses the buzz bait pitch the trick worm in the same spot and hang on. A white and chartreuse spinner bait fished along the rip rap at the bridges when Georgia Power is pulling water in the afternoon will also produce good fish. Texas rigged worms fish under the docks will produce. The humps on the lower end of the lake have also been producing when Georgia Power is pulling water.


Striper fishing is poor. There is a sporadic top water bite that is their one day and not the next. Not much activity at the dam in the am either. Hurry up fall.


Crappie fishing is good. The fish are starting to stack up on the trees. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools in the trees at about 10 feet deep. When you find the fish in the trees drop your live crappie minnow down to them and hang on. Long lining down to the top of the trees has been producing over the past week.
