LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, HIGH 80’S DEGREES

Bass fishing is good. The lake is full, stained up the rivers, clear on the south end. Start the day with a white Old Nelly buzz bait. Fish it around mid lake docks sea walls and bridge rip raps. As the sun get, up switch to deep water docks with a worm. Fish a Zoom U tail worm with some green in it. Fish the worm Texas rigged. Deep running crank baits fished off of the deep water humps and deep water points on the south end of the lake have been producing some larger fish. This bite is best when Georgia Power is pulling water.

Line side fishing is fair. Humps in the middle of the lake have been holding schools of line sides. The umbrella rig fish over these humps have been very productive when Georgia Power is pulling water. Because of the water heating up the fish are only feeding when the water is moving. The white bass are schooling on the humps on the north end of the lake from Sugar Creek north. Use your Lowrance to find the schools on the humps and then drop a spoon down to the school.

Crappie fishing is good. The fish are staging in the timber from 10 to 20 feet deep. Find the schools on your Lowrance and drop a live minnow down to the school. You can also use a small black and blue 1/32 jig dropped into the schools

Make sure you stop by Sugar Creek Marina and pick up your spoons and all your tackle needs.
