LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, STAINED UP THE RIVERS THE MAIN LAKE AND RICHLAND CREEK CLEAR, 81to 84 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair. The fish are starting to move up as the water cools. Start on the main lake boat docks in water 10 feet deep and work your way into the mouth of the main lake coves and creeks. A shaky head fished under these docks have been the best producers over the past week. A small crank bait fished down the side of the same boat docks will also produce. Look for wood structure in and around these docks to increase the bite.

Striper fishing is slow. Look for schooling fish in the late afternoon. There are large schools of bait on top every afternoon. You will need to do a lot of looking until you fine the fish chasing these baits. Use a popping cork or an inline spinner. Another good choice is a silver or white spoon fished into the schools that are blowing up on the top.

Crappie fishing is good. The fish are in the mouths of the creek and large coves. They have moved into the timber and you can find them with your Lowrance in the top of the trees. When you find them drop a live minnow into the school and start catching. Some fish are also coming on jigs trolled at a depth of 10 ft. over the same timber.
