Water Temp 72-73
Water Level 6.34ft low
I've been fishing the last few days and the fishing is anywhere from Good to outstanding on numbers and it's definitely a power fishermans lake right now. My boat was the only one on the lake yesterday that was dumb/(Smart) enough to fish in the driving rain. We got wetter in our rain suits than we do in our own showers. But the funny thing is the harder it rained the better the fish bit. I have never ever seen the spinnerbait bite this darn good and I am glad it is back. On the rainy day my client cut his trip short due to the rain. We had 15 in the boat by 11am. I went back out in the downpour and I had to use my GPS to navigate the lake because I couldn't see the front of the boat and I put another 25 fish during the extreme downpours and got off the lake around 4pm. I was asked to test a new spinnerbait by a new company called Tackle Doctors in what they call the Dr. Spot spinnerbait which is catered specifically towards Spotted Bass and they were just hammering that bait. Every fish we caught was caught on that blade with the exception of a few senko fish. We didn't catch any big fish but alot of solid chunks in the mix. Here is a quick pic of the last 2 fish I caught as I was leaving the lake. Rumor has it Natures Tackle Box will be the exclusive Georgia dealer of the Dr. Spot.
This morning I got out with Sean Odell and we had a great time. The bite wasn't quite as strong but we got a good 15+ fish in the boat and had quite a few missed opportunities on some VERY nice fish. Sean is a die hard finesse (Dropshot) guy and he wanted a change of pace. He wanted to learn how to do the run and shoot offense and see how it works so we put his seat belt on and put the trolling motor on high and covered water with the blade. He's never caught a fish on a spinnerbait, buzzbait, Senko OR a Fat Ika and this morning he got a few fish on all 4 baits and his first Allatoona Largemouth. He commented that we covered more water today than he normally does in 5 trips to the lake. LOL We spent most of the day with the blade anywhere from 1ft to 35ft of water and the best pattern for us was points both mainlake and some secondary points. Just burn it and hold on. The swimbait bite is kinda off right now but it will pick up SOON. We did try throwing it some but didn't get the attention that we were looking for so we went back to the active blade bite. Here is a pic of Sean and myself.
