LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL, 70’S, CLEAR

Bass fishing is good and the weather has been off for May. The bass are in a transitional period. The top water bite has started and will only get better as the month goes on. Use sunline 30 pound braid to make long cast to schooling fish so as not to spook them. There are small areas of shad spawn scattered around the lake and will get better the closer we get to the next full moon. Many fish are in open water in areas near shad spawn locations. The top water bite will last for about two hours after sun and once it ends find shallow brush and work a jig or jig head to catch fish. The magic depth right now seems to be between eight and 12 foot of water. This is considered mid that for Lake Allatoona. There have also been a few fish caught off blow downs using big bite trick sticks and Senko’s and BB jerk minnows. These fish are posts spawn and looking for an easy meal.

Line side fishing is excellent. The fishing is on fire. The white bass bite is dying off but both the Little River and Etowah River runs are good for hybrids and stripers. Cut shad seems to be working best, but live shad and chicken liver will also work well. If the river isn't your thing, the Allatoona Creek arm is producing very good numbers of stripers and hybrids Tanyard Creek, Clark Creek, Iron Hill and from the 75 bridge to the spillway are all good places to look. Every hump and point should have some fish on them. We are having our best luck pulling hand sized gizzard shad on flat lines and planer boards early and switching to down lines once that bite slows. After about 10 am, start pulling the umbrella rig. Chartreuse has been the best color for buck tails on the umbrella rig. Pull them 120 feet behind the boat at 3.1 mph.
