On 9/9/07, I took Allan Iverson of the Denver Nuggets and rapper "Nelly" fishing for about an hour or so. This was not a serious fishing trip but a photo shoot for an upcoming video being put out by Reebok company. We boated several good fish and lost 6 more in that brief time. I was being shadowed the whole time by another boat full of camera & production people that stayed no less than 10-20 feet from us the whole time. We were fishing mid lake on some flats and I was very encouraged to see multiple schools of good fish along with some baitfish concentrations. It was a good set-up and with enough time and less noise/commotion, I'm sure we could've had a big day.
Fall fishing on the "toona" is some of the very best of the year. Water temps are cooling rapidly and the fish are starting to congregate. The weather is comfortable also. The fall is barely edges out spring fishing in my book. Look for more of my reports as I relate the "Fall Smackdown" of striper fishing on Allatoona.
