Lake Allatoona - Freshwater Fishing Report
Linesides: "The upriver bite is off the charts right now. You can catch 40 or 50 2- to 5-lb. hybrids a day up the Etowah from Knox Bridge to the ballparks in Canton. Small bait is the key to this bite. Go with medium shiners or thread fins. Fish right on the bottom. Cut Bait will also work,. If you don't want to get into the boat traffic up the river " Like Me ", Allatoona Creek also has a decent amount of fish in it. I have been catching bigger stripers and hybrids in Allatoona Creek, but there is no where near as many fish as up the river. They are hitting a little bigger bait, gizzards and threadfins on free lines and planer boards and then down-lines after the sun comes up. Make sure you have some type of topwater ready when you get bit. Bring the fish up to the boat, but don't land it. Four or five others will follow it up, and you can get a double or triple by being quick with a topwater bait. I like an X-Rap in the bone color. The Trolling bite is dead. You best bet right now is live bait. The bite is getting better and better with each pasting day.
May is one of the best month for numbers and size on Lake Allatoona..
Here are a few from yesterday trip.
