Water Temperature: 51
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater
Water level is 7.5ft low and water clarity ranges from heavily stained to clear. From the RR tressel towards the back of Allatoona creek is heavily stained. Most of your clear green water is in the vicinity of Iron Hill and Allatoona Landing. From Iron Hill to Kellog your pretty much a light stain. On Tuesday Little River area was MUD.
On Tuesday we had some good winds and that stained up most of the main lake. The wind died last nite and the lake cleared right up almost overnite. Water temps are ranging from 46 at first light to 49-50 at midday due to the chillier evenings/mornings we have been having. If you look hard you can find 53-54 degree water temps at midday.
Now for the report part. The flats bite is starting to pick up some. IT's nowhere near full bore but it's getting started. The key right now is finding those warmer thermal refuges. NW shorelines (or SE facing shorelines however you want to look at it) are the best bets right now. Those shorelines warm up the fastest and the fish know it. I'm working Crankbaits (Flat Mini's and Flat CB DR's) and jerkbaits (Pointer 100's) in these areas and working them painfully slowwwwwwwww!! I'm catching some 2 lbers but thats about it for the most part as far as quality on Tuesday but I am seeing some very very very nice followers (more on that later)
.
Today I had a half day trip with Matt and his 4 year old son Jake. We went with the live bait option for most of the day. We started off fishing for hybrids and caught some fairly quick. Jake caught his biggest fish and first hybrid ever. To be honest I thought the fish was gonna pull him into the drink but dad had a good grip on him at my request. After the hybrid action we went bream and cat fishing with a little success. I just wanted to thank my partner Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service for helping me with the white fish patterns and tactics! Thats Rob!!
After my half day I went to go find more fish for a trip later this week. I have just a few areas holding somewhat reliable 2lbers so I went exploring he he. Thats when me found Moby pictured below. This was the fatest largmouth I have ever seen on Allatoona. She was literally about to pop and was in beautiful shape.
