LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 12 FEET, MUDDY & 48 DEGREES

Bass fishing is good. Fish are mid depths and the blue gill fire Kacys Kustom jig has been doing the trick. Slow retrieve and a real and a very light bite. A good sensitive rod is key when feeling the bites. Also there is somewhat of a crank bait bite and the numbers are low but the size is good. The Spro Little John tiny DD in cell mate has been a good bait lately as well as a number 4 Rapala Shad Rap in a craw pattern. Colder weather on the way so watch for a shad kill by mid week.

Line side fishing is slow, but there are a few big fish being caught. The lake is looking better but there is still about 80% of the lake still muddy or heavily stained. The water temps are in the upper thirties to the low forties and the shad kill has started. Catching numbers of line sides right now is just not going to happen. But there's a chance to boat a really big fish right now, if you're willing to devote the time. The key to catching fish this week is to find clear water. There is clear water to lightly stain water from Allatoona Landing to Red Top. This is the best water on the lake right now. This section of the lake is holding fish but getting to eat is challenging. The bigger fish are more out to eat mid to large Shad and trout fished on planner boards and free lines. But these bites are very few and far between. But if you stay with it you can catch a trophy fish this time of year. If you want to catch a trophy fish, now is the time. I still have plenty of dates open for February so call 770 827 6282 and let's go catch the fish.
