LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, STAINED & LOW 80’S

Bass fishing is fair. The fish are solidly in their deeper summer haunts and the brush pile bite is starting up. The Sammy top water bite is good early. Once the sun gets high the main lake fish are going deep at 15 to 18 feet. Use a 3/16th ounce camo colored Spot Stalker with a 4.5 inch Yamamoto Cut Tail worm in pumpkin and green colors. Also a small drop shot using a ¼ ounce drop shot sinker and a #4 Splitshot Dropshot Gamakatsu hook. Nose hooking a 3.5 or 4 inch Yamamoto Cut tail in either blue pearl, cinnamon brown or smoke color to mimic the small threadfin and spot tail minnows will work. The key is still small baits and this will continue throughout most of the summer. Be patient and be sure your bait is in at least 15 feet of water. Also, a weightless Senko skipped under docks and let them sink down a few feet will produce some fish as well as the water under the docks is quite a bit cooler. It takes some patience but it will get you bit. The spot stalker head is a great tool for fishing the brush piles due to its specific design.

Line side is great and the top water bite is off the charts. There are monster schools of hybrids and white bass busting top water all over the lake right now. At times you can see 5 to 6 different schools busting top water at the same time. These fish are feeding on very small shad. Our best bite this week has been on white Rooster Tails, Zoom Jr. flukes and Zara Spook Jar’s. Mid day you can catch these fish pulling umbrella rigs and fishing live bait on down lines off of any main lake points and humps from Iron Hill to Kellogg Creek.
