LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 15.3 FEET CLEAR 50S


Bass fishing is slow. Lots of runoff and more rain on the way. The best bet remains creeks and pocket areas off the main lake. Use Strike King 3/8 ounce pumpkin jig with a Zoom Super Chunk trailer in Root beer green pepper. Try it on a bait casting rod with the with Sufix Elite 14 pound test. Use a Jr. sized trailer on the mini jigs. Look for stumps and brush in 5 to 8 feet of water afternoons as it warms a little. Also fish the points and humps that have deep water access and boat docks. The key is finding the brush. Small mini jigs in green pumpkin with a matching Zoom trailer are best. Check the creeks and pockets for the warmest water available. These areas will warm faster and hold more active fish.

Line side is good even after the heavy rains. The north end of the lake is a mud pit. Mid lake is stain and will probably get worse by the weekend. The fish are moving south searching for cleaner water. Right now our better bite is from Bartow Carver to Stamp Creek. This will probably change as the mud line moves south. The Good news is the fish are still biting. Down lining live bait is still very good. Most of the bait is out over the river channel and so are the fish. Even though the live bait bite remains Strong. Trolling is as equally as good right now. Both full sizes umbrella rigs and the Mini Mack's are fishing great. The spoon bite is also good and works better on schooling fish on the bottom. Suspended fish are tough to catch on a spoon right now.
