I let it sink before quickly reeling it through the school. Caught a few 2 pounders, and a 5lb 12oz fish, the largest me or my fishing buddy have caught from this lake

I spent most of my time focusing the rocks right below the Oconee dam. There was no water flow from generation, so the water was slick calm. I saw water temps from 68-72, and had to work the bait ultra slow to get bit. The bite was good and lasted until around 11. After that, I targeted shallow pockets off the main river channel in dying hydrilla with a chatterbait.

Fish the magdraft around shad baitballs and try to match the size and color of the bait to the actual shad as closely as possible. Fish it below the baitball the biggest bass will sit under the baitball. So they can eat all the dead or wounded shad that fall to the bottom. The smarter bigger bass do not want to waste energy and calories so they will just wait for dead/wonded bait to come to them. The bass really do understand how to work smarter not harder!

Fished around some points with the jerkbait, before switching to the chatterbait to try and find some larger bass under some docks. Ended up catching a nice three pounder

In my opinion this is one of the prettiest lakes in Ga. Right now the bass are very active in early mornings and late evenings making the top water bite phenomenal!

Walking baits in the morning produced good fish around boat docks. After the sun came out I used the culprit 7.5 inch tequila shad original worm around lay downs off the main lake on swing banks and was able to catch several more good fish. Me and my wife used these techniques and had five in the boat in no time and after culling a few times were able to place 4th out of 27 boats in a tournament yesterday.
