LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, THE LAKE IS CLEAR, LIGHT STAIN UP THE LAKE STAINED UP THE RIVER TEMPRATURE 52 55

Bass fishing is slow. If we have a couple of warm days in a row fish any place you can find some rocks. During the heat of the day the rocks will warm up a degree or two. A few fish will move into this area but you must fish with small baits and light line. If you find schools of baitfish use a Flex It Spoon on 10 pound test Trilene line with a medium action rod. Move your rod tip up 4 to 6 inches and let the bait fall back down. Be a line watcher, as your bites will come while the bait falls.

Line side fishing is fair. Reports of a few hybrids and white bass are being caught up the Oconee River above the I 20 Bridge. Trolling with live bait over the creek channels is your best bet. A few are also being caught while using the spoon for bass down the lake.

Crappie fishing is fair. There are a few good fish being caught up the Apalachee River above Swords boat ramp. Trolling with a Jiffy Jig tipped with a minnow is working best. Watch your depth finder to see what depth the fish are holding.

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]
