LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, THE MAIN LAKE IS MUDDY, RICHLAND CREEK IS STAINED, 55 59 DEGREES

There has been over 6 inches of in two days around the lake area. The lake is very muddy and there is a lot of trash floating in the lake. Use extreme caution when boating on the lake.

Bass fishing is slow. The fish are still in the back of the creeks and pockets off of the main lake. Lipless crank baits, rattle traps, fished around docks in the middle to back of these creeks and coves have been producing some of the better fish over the past week. A chartreuse spinner bait fished around wood as well as rock has also produce fish. Small crank baits fished around docks as well as the bridge rip rap in Lick and Sugar creeks.

Striper report by Captain Mark Smith, Reel Time guide service. Call 404 803 0741 [email protected]

Striper fishing is great. The stripers are in the major coves and creeks looking for bait, and cleaner water. Use your Lowrance to locate the schools of bait in the creeks and drop a live bait down in to the fish. Live bait and spoons have both been producing over the past week.

Crappie fishing is fair. The fish are in the mouths of the creek and large coves. Long lines with double jigs trolled at 1mph has been the best producer over the past week. Any jig needs some chartreuse in it. Some of the fish are also on the ledges in 15 to 20 feet of water and minnows fished on down lines will produce good catches.

Meet Captain Mark Smith at the Atlanta Boat show giving seminars on crappie fishing and on fishing Lake Oconee. As well as working for Lowrance helping with your electronic needs. The show is January 14, 15, 16 and 17th.
