LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, STAINED & LOW 90’S BY MATT DRIVER


Bass fishing is slow. Fish are deep with the best concentration is around 18 to 25 feet deep. Drop shot finesse worms and shad baits like the jointed jerk minnow are working good. Another key is very light line and heavier drop shot weight, 6 pound test Sunline Sniper fished vertically around brush using sonar is a good tactic. Fish are scattered and size has been low. Stamps creek, and north is most productive. There is some schooling activity in the evening especially after a storms. The Spro Dawg and BB jerk minnow, and Zara Spook are my weapons of choice. It takes a long cast to get the bass to bite and not spook. We are using 10 pound Sunline SX1 braid and a 7'6 med heavy spinning rod for optimal distance. Don't try to get the boat to close that will be gone. And for the kids, the bream are biting worms and crickets around boat dock and bluff walls in the shade. You will need to use the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan equipment to find the structure and find the fish.

Line side fishing is outstanding. The down line bite is in full swing and the Hybrids are just killing live bait right now. Our boats are having very good mornings. On most days we are seeing 20 to 50 fish per boat on half day trips. Shad is still out fishing shiners, but the shiner bite is probably the best we have seen in years. But with that being said shad is still out producing shiners 5 to 1. The better bite is on the south end of the lake. Stamp Creek, Cooper Branch, Iron Hill, Red Top and Clark Creek are all fishing well right now. There is also a bite mid lake but it just doesn't compare to the bite on the south end. The trolling bite is also starting to pick up. And it is hard to beat an umbrella rig loaded with 9 1/2 ounce jigs fished 100 feet out at 2.4 miles per hour. The top water bite is also starting to get good early and then again right before sun down in eye site of the dam.
