A frog is hard to beat for a big bite in the summer. A drop shot around the deeper docks and brush for numbers.

Fishing was tough and the cold temps and heavy weekend rain didn’t help. Water temp has dropped to the low 60’s. North end below the Oconee dam had the clearest water with heavy stain south of shoulder bone and throughout the rest of the lake. Burning a skinny dipper and a jackhammer fished around shallow laydowns produced some quality bites.

04-02-22 water temp mid 60’s. Docks in the first half of creek arms were good for numbers. Weightless wacky rigs skipped under the walk ways and around pilings produced well. A white spinner bait in the same areas also produced but the finesse bite out shined anything reaction.

3-26-22 water temp 62-65 and extremely windy. Main lake and secondary points leading into likely spawning areas were holding fish in the 10-15ft range. Mixed bag of largemouth and hybrids. Shallow docks in the backs of pockets held a few fish as well.

Water temps dropped a few degrees and the water was clear on the lower end of the lake near the dam. Fishing was tough with the holiday traffic and wind but a 1/2 oz spinnerbait in a shad color put numbers in the boat. Wind blown points with rock were holding numbers with the dam rip rap producing our biggest fish. Megabass P5 dark sleeper rod paired with a daiwa zillion sv tw has been a phenominal combo for spinnerbaits and the sleeper craw this spring.
