LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, THE MAIN LAKE IS MUDDY, RICHLAND CREEK IS STAINED 55 60 DEGREES

Bass fishing is slow. The fish are still in the middle 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 in the Richland creek arm of the lake have been producing. Some spoon activity has started on the humps on the south end of the lake.

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

Striper fishing is fair. 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. The jig needs to have chartreuse in the body. 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.

Captain Mark Smith will be at the Atlanta Boat show is January 14, 15, 16 and 17^th, 2016 giving seminars on crappie fishing and on fishing Lake Oconee. As well as working for Lowrance helping with your electronic needs.
