LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, THE LAKE IS CLEAR ON THE SOUTH END STAINED UP THE LAKE AND INTO THE RIVER TEMPRATURE 50 54

Bass fishing is fair. Spinner baits fished in the creeks and coves shallow will produce fish. White and chartreuse have been the best colors. When Georgia Power is pulling water the same spinner bait will work on the bridge rip rap. (They have been 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. You can also add fishing a rattle trap around any deep dock and around rip rap early. Jigs fished around wood structure have also produced some larger fish.

Striper fishing is 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. Watch for any shad activity on the surface or on the Lowrance Down Scan technology. Bait is the key this week.

Crappie fishing is fair. 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]
