Hot Weather, Hot Fishing

Lake Oconee - Freshwater Fishing Report

The striper fishing has been awesome for the past 2 weeks. The pumpback is creating a huge bite every morning and by 10:30 we are done and dusted. Some of the fish we are catching will go over 10 pounds, and the rest of them are the "happy" size fish, that fight really hard and fast. This bite should continue for the next month as hopefully cooler weather comes back. The crappie are staging in the trees and it is not unusual to pull up and boat 20 - 30 off one tree. They are fileting size, not the super big ones we get in the spring, but steady enough to keep even small children happy and occupied.
