LAKE ALLATOONA IS FULL 70’S CLEAR


Bass fishing is good. The top water bite is going strong. Fish are feeding good as they make a change toward a summer pattern. Most fish have moved to a mid depth pattern in 10 to 14 feet of water but fish are scattered through all depths. The top water and mid depth bites will continue and begin to drop off toward the end of the month as fish move deeper and suspend. The first part of the month a jig and a jig head finesse worm are hard to beat but as bass transition deeper a small swimbait like the Big Bite Baits 3.5 inch Cane Thumper will be a great choice. Fish it on a 3/16 ounce jig head on 7 pound Sunline fluorocarbon. Slow reel it over long deep points around Red Top. The drop shot fished on bluff walls in the mid lake is always a good way to catch good numbers of spots. Find shady areas as the sun gets higher in the sky. If you’re taking the kids fishing the bluff walls are also great places to catch some good bream. Fish a split shot rig with a live cricket for the best result. Remember shade is key.

Line side fishing is off the charts. The fish have moved out of the rivers and back into the lake. The summer pattern is already setting up. Down lining threadfins and small gizzards are the ticket. Mid lake (Kellogg Galts Bartow Carver) is fishing well. There is also a good bite in the Allatoona Creek arm. 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. The bite can get crazy at times. Carry plenty of bait with you. If netting isn’t your thing Striper Soup has plenty of bait on hand. After the live bait bite is over start pulling your umbrella rigs. Chartreuse has been the best color for buck tails on the umbrella rig. Pull them 120 feet behind the boat at 3.1 mph.
