LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, STAINED UP THE RIVERS LIGHT STAIN ON MAIN LAKE RICHLAND CREEK CLEAR, 85 90 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair. The rivers have a light stain and the main Lake is clear. There is a good early morning top water bite in the rivers around deep structure. White old Nelly buzz bait worked around structure in deep water will produce until the sun gets up. When the sun gets up switch to a 6in. watermelon Zoom u tail worm on a Texas rig and works the same structure. Down the lake there is still a deep water crank bait bite on the ledges and humps on the south end of Richland Creek. Work a Normans DD22 down the ledge into deeper water. Use your Lowrance to locate the fish on the ledges, if you do not see any fish move to another ledge or hump until you find the fish. Then work you DD22. If you would like to try and beat the heat think about night fishing. Look for lighted boat docks with structure. You can work these docks with a crank bait or a worm. Use a big dark u tail worm Texas rigged. Remember to keep your boat lights on and look out for the other guy.

Line side fishing is fair. The best way to find the fish is with the umbrella rig. Run it about 20 feet deep. We have seen fish up the river near the I 20 bridge. These fish will continue to move up the rivers to find cooler water. If you are working the main lake look in the river bend area. Sugar Creek has the Capt. Mac umbrella rigs in stock along with Okuma line counter reels and Okuma striper rods. If you like to learn how to fish your rigs, give me a call and we will show you to catch more fish.

Crappie fishing is fair. Some fish are showing up in brush piles from 10 to15 feet. The night bite in the timber is still the best producer. Look for the fish to show up on your Lowrance and drop the live shiners down to the fish.

Make sure you stop by Sugar Creek Marina and pick up your spoons and all your tackle needs. You can also book your Crappie and striper trips with Reel Time Guide Service at 404 803 0741 or [email protected]
