LAKE
OCONEE IS FULL POOL, 92 DEGREES AND CLEAR BY MARK SMITH, REEL TIME GUIDE
SERVICE 404-803-0741.
Bass fishing is slow. Go at first light and
use a Strike King white and chartreuse buzz bait on the rip rap.
If Georgia Power is pulling water, then stay with it and back up
your buzz bait with a number 7 Shad Rap in the baby bass pattern.
Make sure the bait is in contact with the bottom. Bounce it off
of the rocks. As the sun comes up move to the deep docks and pitch
a jig in as far back under the dock as you can. Work the jig out
slow. You can also pick up some fish off of the deep humps down
near the dam. Use your Lowrance to find the humps with a lot of
structure on them. Use a Carolina rig with at least a 1/2 ounce
weight and a long leader with a dark red or red black Culprit worm.
Work the worm down the hump to deeper water, contact as much brush
as you can and work the worm slowly into deeper water.

Line
side fishing is slow. The heat has put the big striper under
stress. They should start to bite in a few weeks. As for now the
best action is white bass and small hybrids chasing shad on top.
This is going on all over the south end of the lake in the afternoons.
Use a popping cork rig or a small jig with a sassy shad. These
fish are feeding on small bait so downsize to match the hatch.
Crappie fishing is fair: Fishing at night is the way to go. The
fish are in the timber from 15-20 feet deep. Live minnows are working
best.
