Currently the lake stands at 1.9 feet above full pool and falling as the Corp of Engineers is pulling water continuously and the surface temperatures have been around 56 degrees. The water has dropped 1.6 feet since last week's report. The backs of the major creeks as well as the rivers are stained, but continuing to clear up. Many backs of pockets and creek arms are stained, particularly if they have a live feed in the back. The majority of our fish this week came from 10 feet or less. You will find the fish are very shallow in the stained water and further along in the pre spawn process and still a bit deeper and fewer shallow in the clearer water on most days but that too is beginning to change as fish are beginning to move up all around the lake. Overall, look on flatter rock and clay points and look shallow. Remain flexible as you search for viable daily patterns given the conditions and the fish changing so rapidly. Crankbaits, jerk baits, under spins, jigs, swimbaits and shaky heads will all still be viable options for rock fish and the ditch/pocket bites that are available. In general, I would chose the shallows early, and move deeper as the day progresses if the shallow bite fails. Also, be very careful navigating the lake there is still a lot of floating debris.

Want more detailed information on the bite this week including a detailed review of the exact baits I have been using and the locations in which I have been fishing them?

This Striper report brought to you by Buck Cannon, Buck Tails Guide Service 404 510 1778

Striper fishing is good. The water is still stained with plenty of floating debris. Flat lines and planer boards have been catching most of the stripers. Fish flat line 100 to 120 feet behind boat and 30 to 40 feet behind boards using blue backs hooked in the mouth up thru the top in front of the eyes. Look over 30 60' bottoms around points and right off the channel. Gainesville creek north and wahoo creek and Little River. Watch for the bird activity even if you don't mark fish try that area and use you pool que to get their attention. Always have a down line because they are unpredictable. Remember Buck Tales it like it is. 404 510 1778
