LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, STAINED & LOW 80’S

Bass fishing is fair. There are still tons of tiny bait around and tons of tiny bass feeding on them. Lots of 9 to 13 inch fish. If you’re just going to fun fish thing aren't all that bad. But if you are your looking for big tournament winning stringers, you will have your work cut out for you. Small bait is the key to getting bit right now. Tiny flukes and the new 3 1/2 jointed Big Bite jerk minnow are good choices fished on the drop shot. Whether fish vertically on sonar or thrown at schoolers this is my number 1 choice for bites right now. The top water bite is decent at day break and sundown. Small walking style bait and poppers are the best choice. The crank bait bite is very slow. At night the jig head tipped with a trick stick in green pumpkin and a jig are the best option around boat docks and lit areas.

Line side fishing is good and the live bait bite is still going strong. These fish are scattered in the water column from anywhere from 13 feet to 40 feet deep between Bartow Carver and Clarks Creek. Shad, shiners and bream are all working, but thread fins and gizzard shad are hard to beat. Make sure you catch your bream on hook and line. And be sure to carry plenty of bait and change it often. Frisky bait is the key to putting more fish in the boat. Trolling is working right now and we are using the umbrella rigs. We have had some really good catches pulling these rigs. Also, a single buck tail fished a 150 feet behind the boat at 2.4 miles and hour will get you bit. Top water is good early in the morning and late in the afternoon on a white Rooster Tail and this is working well for the hybrids, stripers and schooling spots.
