After a long winter, Lake Allatoona is finally dressing herself up with good fishing and LOTS of water. The drought is history folks. Have been averaging during the last week 8-20 stripers, hybrids, spots and white bass per trip. Most all have come on downrods live shad with a few picked up on freelines. Mid Lake seems to be the ticket right now, but this will change suddenly, soon enough, as spring temperatures and rising water levels shuffle the deck entirely. Also, the crappie fishing is kicking in big time. Lake Allatoona is loaded with these fish and they are showing up pretty strong in the creeks already. Hal flys tipped with minnows and just plain old bobber fished crappe minnows are producing nice catches of these tasty fish. Its going to be a strong year for Allatoona Guide Service and the fun is only begining. The Hybrids we are catching are the best looking year class fish I've seen in awhile. Good Fishing, Cap'n Fred
