Early Morning Produces

We fished Lake Altoona with high winds and temps in high 40's. The Spotted Bass were the only fish caught today. We trolled slowly for Crappies and Hybrids but the Spots wanted to eat. We fish 30' down to 5' and the fish were hold depths of 20' to 10'. My clients worked lures perfectly well to trigger bites. We also caught some trolling.

The Crappies were busting water at 1st light and then the Hybrid Striped Bass moved in to steal the show. My clients need up with a mixed bag of Crappies, Hydrids and SpottedBass totaling about 35 fish caught. Fish were caught in 15' to 5' of water inside coves on West Point Lake, near Horace King Park area.

We fished Lake Oconee at 1st light slowly trolling jigs for Crappie. The air temps dropped from the day before making it pretty chilly. The fish were slow to bite on the troll so we pitched jigs around docks. We began to pick up small SpottedBass on the deep water docks so we moved in shallower and that's when it all started. The Black Crappies started to bite. We fished in 2ft of water at started catching fish after fish. I can't wait to go back. My client learned a lot and had fun catching these aggressive Black Crappies and Spotted Bass.
