The stripers are doing the summertime thing - Its really kinda weird!! Just when we thought the stripers were over, they show up with a vengeance and it is great fishing again.

the stripers are showing up strong on Oconee - It has been our guess that everything is running about 3 weeks behind this year, due to the freakish weather we have had here. The stripers have finally showed up at the dam, and in an unexpected twist, there are more of them UP the river, than at th more...

Getting that time of year - The water is cooling down and the fish are heating up on Lake Oconee. Most of us guides always try to rush the process but no matter how hard you try, the fish are going to do it when they get ready. This week we have seen signs they are getting read more...

Fishing has arrived - Every year during the summer Lake oconee becomes very hot because of the humpback, and it takes some time for the lake to turn back over and good fishing to return. I am happy to say it has started, and by the looks of things, it is going to be a gre more...

Fall Fishing for Crappie is not Far - Even though the water is really warm on Oconee, the crappie are doing really great. It appears they will continue right into the fall bite! The fall bite is when the bigger fish began to show up, and we go to our full spider rig set up.
