Lake Allatoona - Freshwater Fishing Report

Line side fishing is Slow !!. The bite on Allatoona is almost non existent. Over 90% of the lake is muddy or heavily stain. The water temps are in the upper thirties to the low forties and the lake is starting to show signs of a shad kill. Catching numbers of line sides right now is just not going to happen. But there's a chance to boat a really big fish right now, if you're willing to devote the time. The key to catching fish right now is to find clear water. .There is clear to lightly stain water from Allatoona Landing to Redtop. This is the best water on the lake right now. This section of the lake is holding fish but getting to eat is challenging. Our better bite has been coming on spoons and urigs. The bigger fish are more out to eat Shad and trout fished on planner boards and free lines. But these bites are very few and far between.
The bite has been so slow that I have been moving all of my Allatoona trips to Carters Lake,,,,,, Lake Allatoona just doesn't have a bite I am willing to put the Firstbite name to right now..... Hopefully the bite will pick up soon soon....
Carters Lake
The bite on Carters has been decent. You're not going to boat a ton of stripers this time of year. But the ones we are catching are guilty fish. The free line and planner board bite is starting to show signs of turning on. And the down line bite remains steady. The fish are scatter and can be caught almost anywhere on the lake right now. We have been fishing half way back into the main creeks. Worley, Camp Branch and Woodring are all holding fish right now. Finding big schools of bait is the key right now. There is also a decent bite on the main lake. Secondary points and holding stripers and massive schools of spots right now. I look for this bite to remain steady until we start seeing a shad kill.
If your wanting to catch a wall hanger then the time is now. I still have plenty of dates open for January and February. Give me a call at 770 827-6282 and let's go catch the fish of your dreams....
