LAKE OCONEE IS 1 FT. LOW, THE LAKE IS CLEAR, LIGHT STAIN UP THE LAKE INTO THE RIVER TEMPRATURE 53 56.

Bass fishing is good. Spinner baits fished mid creeks out will produce fish. White and chartreuse have been the best colors. Look for docks with structure under them. When Georgia Power is pulling water the same spinner bait will work on the bridge rip rap. Georgia Power is pulling early in the mornings. Small crank baits fished along the side of the docks in the middle of the coves out to the main lake will also produce. Some fish are starting to show up on humps on the south end of the lake. Use your Lowrance to locate the fish and drop a spoon down to the fish. This bite will improve as the water continues to drop.

Striper fishing is very good. The fish are mid lake around river bend. Use your Lowrance to locate the large schools of bait and the stripers will be close by. Look for the birds diving, if you see birds go fish them. Live bait as well as spoons will produce large numbers of fish.

Crappie fishing is good. The fish are staging in the creeks. Long lining jigs over the fish will produce good catches. Spider rigging will also catch some fish.

Make sure you stop by Sugar Creek Marina and pick up your spoons and all your tackle needs. You can also book your crappie and striper trips as well as on the water Lowrance classes, with Reel Time Guide Service at 404 803 0741 or [email protected]
