Lines-sides fishing is Good and the fishing are biting from one end of the lake to the other. The Hybrids have started their spawn runs up both the Etowah and Little River. Most of the fish that are being caught are already spawn out.. The river bite should stay decent into the middle of May.... The main lake is also fishing well. The fish that are returning out of the rivers are starting to school up from the Little River bridge up to the delta. And from the S-Turns to Kelloggs Creek.... There is also a decent south end bite going on right now from Iron Hill - to the bay out in from of 3rd Army..
The fish on the main lake are up in the water column and are very hard to mark on 2 D sonar..... If you have a Lowrance with side scan you can locate these fish by running your side scan setting on 60 feet on both sides.... These has been working Great for me on my Lowrance 12 in Touch.... If you don't have side scan, the best way to find these fish is to put out a spread of planner boards and free lines and pull the banks and open water until you get bit..... Planner boards and freeing live shad on the main lake has been our best bite. And are a counting for at lease 95% of our catch on both Lake Allatoona and Carters lake..... Small to middle size gizzard shad has been the ticket... If throwing the net isn't your cup of tea. Striper Soup Bait and Tackle in Acworth has plenty on hand...
The river bite is a different story. Cut bait seems to be fishing best right now. But cut shad and chicken liver fished in any bend of the river or near any blow down will catch you fish. There has also been a lt of big cats caught up the river the last few weeks.... The lake record for Blue cats was broken this week with a nice 36 lber... Congrats to the angle for a great catch.....
Trolling has been decent but should get really good once the water tempurture hits 70 degress......
Over all the bite on Allatoona is very good for almost the entire lake.... Spring is and awesome time to be on the water. Grab the kids give us a call 770 827-6282 and lets go fishing......
