Line sides fishing is great. Guys the summer pattern is in full swing right now. That means it is time for Downlines, U-rigs ( Mack Farr ) and down riggers. Shad are very hard to keep a live right now.. So make sure you carry a couple a Doz. shiners ( Dugout ) with you when you head to the water. The southend of the lake is by far the best bite on the lake right now. Live bait fished off of any main lake point right now will get you bit. Also the humps in the mouth of all the main creeks are holding fish right now. There is also a good evening bite at the dam.

Trolling . The trolling bite is Good. I have had some really good fish this week pulling u -rigs near the mouth of Stamp Creek. The trolling bite is a little slower then the live bait bite. But seems to be producing bigger fish for me…

Top Water, The white bass bite is off the charts in the afternoon. Look for these fish on mid-lake flats. The island at Harbor town is a good place to start. A white rooster tail has been working best for these little white fish. I still have a few days open for June give me a call and lets go fishing…

Line sides Fishing is GREAT. Fishing this week has been some of the best I have seen in the past two months. The fish are setting up on a summer pattern right now and are easy to catch when you find them. The river and creek channels are the key. These fish are holding on all main lake points and humps that are close to the river and creek channels. I caught some nice fish this week trolling Mack Farr u-rigs over points and humps. I have spent most of my time this week mid - lake but I believe this would work any where on the lake right now. Down lining these same points and humps with live bait ( shad, shiners and bream ) will work too. Guys if you like fishing Lake Allatoona then you need to check out my fishing forum. The site is www.lakeallatoonafishing.net . Please come and visted it when you get time. Summer is here and so are the fish. Give me a call and lets take the kids fishing…..

Line side fishing is good and other than a slow few days during the full moon last week. The fish are out of the rivers and are really starting to bite. We’ve been catching fish in the S turns, between Little River and the Etowah, and Kellogg Creek has been good. The south end has had a real good bite in Allatoona Creek and there’s been a strong bite down around Clarks Creek. Fish flat lines and planer boards early, then downlines during the mid morning and umbrella rigs after that. On the down rods, concentrate on fishing a 25 to 30 foot bottom. Drop it to the bottom, and bring it up one crank. In the afternoons the small hybrids and white bass are coming up real good near Harbortown. Use a popping cork with a Jr Fluke to catch these fish. If you like striper fishing then check out my fishing forum. Go to www.firstbiteguideservice.com and go to the forum page. There is a lot of good info and people there.

Line sides fishing is good but has slowed down a little from to past two weeks. I think the full moon phase had something to do with it and the fishing should start to pick back up in the next few days. The fish we caught this week where scattered up and down the lake. From as far south as the 75 bridge to as far north as Victory landing. Down lines work over the river channels seem to be working best. We have caught a few fish this week on free to lines but the boat traffic makes it hard to fish this way. Trolling the Mack Farr umbrella rigs are working Fair right now. Pull a three to arm, with seven ½ ounce chartreuse jigs over a 25 foot bottom at 2.75 miles and hour will catch you a few fish. Look for the umbrella bite to get Hot when the water Temp hits 75 degrees. The top water bite is really starting to pick up right now. Throw a White Fluke at them when you see them busting. Some of the best top water action this week has been right at dusk at the mouth of Kellogg’s Creek and on the flat. We still have a few days open for June.

Line sides fishing is good and the mid lake is producing the best right now by far. But there is starting to be good afternoon bite at the dam on live bait and umbrella rigs. Down lines are producing better then anything else right now. Shad, shiners and bream are all working. Just remember the bream have to be caught on a hook and line. I have caught fish as far as Allatoona Pass on the south end of the lake and as far north as Little River. But mid lake still seems to be the strongest bite going. There is a good night bite under the hydro glow light. Trolling is fair and you will find some fish schooling. The Mack Farr umbrella rig with 7, 1/2 ounce jigs have been working best for me. The top water bite is starting to show signs of life. The hybrids and white bass are busting top water right before dark on the north end of the island at Harbor town. Spoons and Rooster Tails are working best. We now offer night trips for crappie. So call for details 770 827-6282.

Line-side fishing is good and will only get better now that the spawn is almost over. Not much has change since last week. The fish are back down out of the rivers, and are starting to group up, and should start to feed. There are fish from the mouth of the Etowah River to as far south as Allatoona Creek. All of the major creeks have fish in them right now. If you find the bait, you’ll find stripers and hybrids nearby. flat-lines in the morning and afternoon and down-lines at midday.

Trolling is Fair, the Mack Farr 3-arm umbrella rig has been producing best right now. Jig color doesn’t seem to matter, but speed is a factor. The best speed for me this we has been between 3.3 to3.5 miles per hour.

Remember the month of May is one of the best months for line-side fishing. We still have a few days open this month and we’re offering family trips starting at $250.00.

Lines-sides fishing is Fair right now. The cold front that we had earlier this week shut the bite down. Look for the bite to rebound quickly as the water warms back up. The spawn is all most over and the fish are coming back down out of the rivers to feed. And they should be grouping up soon . There are fish from the mouth of the Etowah Rive r and as far south as Allatoona Creek. All of your major creeks have fish in them right now. If you find the baitfish, you’ll find stripers and hybrids nearby. Flat-lines in the morning and afternoon and down-lines mid-day is the way to go.

Trolling is working really well right now. The mack Farr 3-arm umbrella rig has been producing best for me right now. Color doesn’t seem to matter, but speed is a factor. The best speed for me this week has been between 3.3- 3.5 miles per hour.

Line side fishing is great and the upper Etowah is without question the best bite on the lake. I got e-mails and phone calls from different anglers who have been wearing them out up there, anywhere from Fields Landing all the way up to the ball field in Canton. I have heard of some really good fish caught up there this week. Congratulations to Tim S. Tim caught a very nice striper up north this week that weight in at 34 pounds. But with the river run being so strong this year, so is the boat traffic. So with that being said, I decided to stay south of mid lake, and I’ve been doing very well. All of the main creeks are holding fish, and so are the beaches. The water temp is in the mid 60s so this is prime for top water. Free-lines, flat-lines and planer boards are working best. Top water is getting very good right at sun up and right at dark. A 3/8-ounce bucktail will get bit all most every time if you can get it to these busting fish. For you trollers, the Mack Farr u-rig bite is starting to pick up. A 3-arm loaded with 3/8-ounce jig will get your drags pulled. I’ve got just a few days left open for May, so call me before there all gone. And remember Kids under 10 years old fish for free with paying adults.( 2 kids max ).

Guys the fishing the past two days on Lake Allatoona have been GREAT. The size of the fish are not as big as the ones last week. But my #’s are very good right now.

Line-side fishing is starting to really heat up. The upper Etowah is with out question the best bite on the lake. I got e-mails and phone calls from different anglers who have been wearing them out up there. Any where from Fields Landing all the way up to the ball field in Canton. I have seen pictures of some really good fish caught up there this week. Stripes well up in the 20’s and Hybrids around 10 pounds. But with the river run being so strong this year. So is the boat traffic. Even a strong river run like the one we got this year. There will only be about 30% of the fish up there. So with that being said I decided to stay south of mid lake. And have been doing very well.. All your main creek are holding fish. And so are your beaches. The water Temp is in the mid 60’s. And this is prime for top water. Free-lines, flat-lines and Planner boards are working best.

Top water is getting very good right at sun up . And right at dark. A 3/8 oz bucktail will get bit all most every-time if you can get it to these busting fish.

Trolling is Good. The fish are on the edge of the river channel .And the Mack Farr u-rig is a GREAT way to catch these fish . I look for a great trolling bite come April….The Dugout Bait Store in Marietta just got a new shipment of Mack Farr u-rigs in. Give them a call for directions 770 428-7406
