Lake Allatoona - Freshwater Fishing Report

Line-sides - Very Good !! The bite this pass December has been the best December bite we have seen in years. If the above normal temperatures continue I expect January to be just as good. The big fish have migrated down out of the rivers and into the main lake. The north end of the from Fields Landing to lake Little River has produce some really nice fish lately. These fish are feeding on Big baits. If your patience and willing to pull big bites you will get bit. Large to Jumbo Size gizzard shad fished on Planner Boards and Free lines on the north in is your best bet for a monster fish.

If your looking for numbers mid lake is where you want to be this time of year. Small Gizzard shad, Thread Fins and small trout fished on Planer Boards, Free Lines and down lines just of the river channel from Kellogg's to Iron Hill has been very good to our boats. If you find the fish stacked up on the flats ( Galts - Kellogg's ) it's hard to beat a 1/2 oz all white Flexit spoon. These same fish will also eat and umbrella rig. I am using a Mack Far three arm fully loaded and pulling it 80 feet behind the boat. This allows me to fish water that is less then 15 feet deep. This has been working really well midday/

As we enter into the month look for the bait to start moving south. By the end of the month look for the Allatoona Creek arm to start to heat up.
