Line side fishing is really GREAT right now if your on fish. If your not you can Zero just as well. The live bait bite is very slow right now. But the trolling and spooning bite is off the charts at time. Trollers this is your time to shine. Mid lake north is stain to muddy due to all the rain we had this week. At the first of the week the lake was only one foot above full pool. But all the rain we had Monday and Wednesday it has bought the lake back up to 6+ feet above full pool . And not much is happening on the north-end because of it. All the fish I have caught this last week have been south of Clear Creek. Mack Farr u-rigs seem to be the ticket for the trollers right now. Along with a 1 0z flex it spoon for jigging. Look for these fish as deep as 50 feet over open water. The Top Water bite has slowed down a lot. But keep a Jr. Spook ready just in case they pop up. The south end of the lake has been best for top water action the best place right now.

Carters Lake

Line-side fishing on Carters is very good right now. On 10/11/09 my party boat trip boated Hybrids as big as nine pounds. And Stripers that weight up to fourteen pounds. And lost one that went close to twenty pounds. The live bait bit is really starting to pick on Carters and should be on fire in the next two weeks. Bart’s Bait And Tackle now has trout in stock and will carry then thought 4/1/10 . There is also a good trolling bite going on as well. First Bite Guide Service is now taking booking for Carters Lake Trophy trips you can view video and pricing for these trips at www.carterslakefishingguide.com or call for details…..

Line side fishing is Great.. Fishing this week is the same as last week and maybe a little bit better change nothing…. but the lake is still 6+ feet above full pool but the lake looks good. There is very little debris and the water is clear on the south end and the little line sides are schooling on top earlier morning and then again right before dark. W expected it to take a few more days or even weeks for the fishing to pick back up, but it is better now then it was before all the rain. The top water bite is off the charts and these fish will eat almost any thing you throw at them. Use a white Rooster Tail or a Jr Spook. Mid day down lining live bait mid lake is also working well. The trolling bite is also good, but be sure to keep your main line free of pine straw. There is only three ramps open this week are Galts Ferry, Stamp Creek and Gatewood. THE NEXT PARTY BOAT TRIP at Carters Lake will be on October 11. This trip will be and 8 hour trip and is only $125.00 per person. Give me a call at 770-827-6282 to book a seat. These trips are a lot of fun and a great way to meet some new friends

Line-sides - GREAT - The lake is still 12+ feet above full pool but the lake looks good. There is very little debris and the water is clear on the south-end and the little line-sides are schooling on top earlier morning and then again right before dark. I can’t believe how great the fishing is right now. I thought it was going to take weeks for our bite to return to normal but it is better now then it was before all the rain. The top water bite is off the charts and these fish will eat almost any thing you throw at them right now. I prefer a white roostertail or a Jr Spook. Mid- day down lining live bait mid lake is also working well. The trolling bite is also good, but be sure to keep your main line free of pine straw. There is only three ramps open right now Galts, Stamp and Gatewood.

THE NEXT PARTY BOAT TRIP ( Carters Lake ) Will be on 10/11. This trip will be and 8 hour trip and will cost $125 per person. . Give me a call at 770 827-6282 if you would like to book a seat.

The Lake is TRASHED !!!! The lake as of 9/24 was over 13 feet above summer pool. There is only two ramps open Stamp Creek and Galts Ferry. There is major debris mid-lake north and again on the southend of the lake from Iron Hill all the way up Allatoona Creek. You best bet to catch stripers right now is to go to Lanier. I have moved all of my trips for this past week and next week to Lanier as well. The bite on Lanier has been great for me and my clients. Down-lining live bait 40-70 all over the river channel has been working very well for me. We have also caught some really nice fish pulling leadcore, 9 colors with a 1 1/2 oz Mack Farr jig tip with a Blue-back Herring has been working best.

THE NEXT PARTY BOAT TRIP Will be on 10/11. This trip will be and 8 hour trip and will cost $125 per person. The location for this trip has not yet been decided. We are hoping to do this trip on Carters Lake but may have to move it to Lanier do to high water and debris. Give me a call at 770 827-6282 if you would like to book a seat. These trips are alot of fun and a great way to meet some new friends. These trips are non-alcoholic trips so please leave the beer at home..

Line-side fishing has pick up a little compare to last week. The rain we had this week has really cool the water temperature and has the fish active again. The live bait bite is starting to pick up and is almost as good as the trolling bite.

The fish are easy to find on your Lowrance but getting them to bite is another story. Just keep putting the bait right on there nose and wait. Mid lake still seems to be holding most of the fish. But don’t over look the pass. I have marked a lot of fish in there this week. They just don’t want bite.

Trolling is the best all round bite going right now. Mack Farr u-rigs seem to be the ticket for the trollers right now. The Top Water bite has has also pick up this week. So keep a Jr. Spook ready just in case they pop up. The south end of the lake has been best for top water action. .

Line side fishing is slow other than a good top water bite for small white bass and 1½ pound hybrids. Use a Junior Fluke behind a popping cork when you see breaking fish. It’s the typical September blues for hybrids and the fish are scattered from 40 feet deep to the top. When you find them they are bunched up so tight you better be right on top of them. Fish are anywhere from Bethany Bridge to Little River. Concentrate right over the main river channel around the mouths of major creeks. Live bait is better and trolling is almost a waste of time right now. The bite will pick up in the next couple of weeks as the water cools. October is a great hybrid month on Allatoona. Usually when it hits 75 degrees, this lake catches fire for hybrids.

Linesides: Fair to Good depending what day your there.. The fish are still out over the river channel. An are schooling in depths for 20 - 40 feet deep. And trolling seems to be your best bet right now. Live bait will also catch you a few fish. Down line your bait over the river channels between 20 40 feet deep. Make sure you use long leaders 6-8 feet is what I”m using on Allatoona right now. Fresh bait is key, so carry plenty of threadfin or medium shiners, and make sure your hook matches the size of your bait.

Top Water

White bass and small Hybrids are busting top water like crazy on cloudy days. These fish are schooling on top from sun up to sun down… Just ride until you find them. Mid-lake has been the best. And the Island at Harbor Town is a good place to start. A jr spook, jr flukes and roster tails fished on ultra lights with 6 lb test is working best for these little line-side. With the cools nights coming up fishing should really get good in the next couple of weeks. We still have a couple of seats open for our Aug 30 ( Sunday ) Party Boat trip call me at 770 827-6282 for more details…

Line side fishing is fair. The fish are still scattered up and down in the water Colum out over the river channel. They are starting to bust top water along with the white bass but unlike the white bass which will stay up for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. Hybrids and stripers are only staying up for seconds. Down lining live bait is working fair off of any main lake point down south. Carry a lot of bait with you. When down lining change your bait frequently if you are not getting bit. Trolling is your best bet if you want to catch numbers. Most of the fish we caught this week came on Mack Farr umbrella rigs. Pull these rigs at 3.4 miles and hour 125 feet behind the boat and have an umbrella rig retriever on board. White bass fishing is still the best bite on the lake. These fish are schooling on top from sun up to sun down. Just ride until you find them. Mid lake has been the best. A Zara Spook Jr, Popping corks and Rooster Tails are working best for these little line sides.
