LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, CLEAR AND 80S


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


The lake is full. The water temperature is 84 to 87. The lake is clear.


Bass fishing is slow. Buzz baits fished along sea walls and around docks will produce the first hr. of daylight and the last hr. of daylight. Also fish the buzz baits along the grass beds on the south end of the lake. Some fish are under the deep water docks. A Texas rigged worm fished up under the docks will produce some fish. The humps on the lower end of the lake have also been producing when Georgia Power is pulling water. Use a Carolina rigged worm on the humps.


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.


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. Dropping a jig into the trees has also been producing as well as the minnows.
