LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 9.1 FEET CLEAR AND 70S


This Bass fishing report is by Matt Driver.


Bass fishing has been great this week. Water temperatures have dropped several degrees and fish are schooling and are very active. We are using jerk baits, crank baits and soft plastic jerk baits as well. Anywhere from 15 to 20 fish a day is not a problem right now. Use your Lowrance electronics to find concentrations of bait pods in the creeks and fish everything in that area. The key to catching fish is moving for success. If you’re not catching any fish run to the next area until you locate feeding fish. Electronics are playing a big part on finding active fish and bait with “spaghetti” anywhere from 15 to 20 fish. The key to catching fish is moving often. If you’re not catching any fish run to the next area until you locate feeding fish. Electronics are playing a big part on finding active finish. Most areas we find bass will have plenty of bait with “spaghetti “on the sonar.

Line side fishing is fair. The lake is starting to turnover. The cooler overnight temperatures should help move it along. The fish are on the move, but are willing to eat if you are right on top of them. Down lining tread fins and small gizzard shad will catch you a few, but the better bite is coming on a ½ ounce white Flex It spoon. The fish are starting to bust top water as well. As we head into late October we look for the top water bite to explode. When this happens and all white Rooster Tail will be our go to bait aboard our guide boats. It's just and easy bait to fish, and more importantly it works. As we head into late October we look for the bigger stripers to start migrating out of the rivers back down to the lakes. The flats out in from of Clear Creek and the once in from of Little River will be key feeding points for these fish. Flat lines and planner boards with mid to large gizzard shad will be your best bet on catching an Allatoona monster striper. Trolling is decent right now. Umbrella rigs are working best and color doesn't seem to matter. We are running our rigs 100 feet behind the boat at speeds between 2.4 to 3.1 miles per hour.
