LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 5.5 FEET, HIGH 40’S VERY STAINED


Bass fishing is slow. Blame the rain and runoff. Our bass are heading toward shallower water. The spawn will begin as early as the end of March. Fish will begin to feed up before the spawn occurs. March is by far the best month for big fish catches. The crankbait bite is king this month. The Spro Rock Crawler has been a great bait while the water has been in the low 50s. Fish points and rock outcropping in the mouths of the creeks. The lake has some stained areas, and the crankbait bite is effected less than baits that are more visual, like jerk baits. Fish the Crawler on 10 lb. Sniper fluorocarbon on a Cashion cranking rod. If the water is clear, the jerkbait bite will be good most of the month. Use the Spro McStick in both sizes. Shad patterns are working best. Start the month with a slow retrieve and speed it up as temps get above 55 degrees. We fish the McStick on a medium Cashion jerk bait rod with 8 to 10 pound test fluorocarbon line. At the end of the month, a football head in the ditches in pockets and creeks will get good as big females move their way to bedding areas. Green pumpkin brown with a Big Bite Bait twin tail grub works best. Locate ditches on your sonar, with 10 to 12 foot depths the most productive. We use a 7 foot 6 inch medium/heavy Cashion jig and worm rod with 15 pound test Sniper or Shooter fluorocarbon line.

Line side fishing is very good. This has been the best Feb fishing we have seen in years. The water temperatures are still in the high forties and there isn't any sigh of a shad kill. The fish are very aggressive and are crunching live bait. The south end of the lake is fishing better for numbers, but the north end of the lake is producing bigger fish. Flat lines and planner boards with small baits like trout, shiners, gizzard and threadfin shad is the ticket on the south end. But on the north end of the lake a big gizzard shad is your best bet to catch a trophy. As we head into March look for these fish to start to migrate north for the spawn run. The white bass will move up first follow by the Hybrids and Stripers. Expect this to happen sometime around the March full moon.
