Line side fishing is good and the bite this week is the same as last week so change nothing. The water temperatures finally hit the magic number of 55 degrees and with that the top water action has taken off. Flat lines and planner boards are working great right at sun up threadfin and gizzard shad are working well. By mid day change over to down lines. But trout seems to be out fishing shad 3 to 1. Mid lake is still the place to be. There are tons of fish between Kellogg Creek and Stamp Creek right now. This is the only part of the lake we have needed to fish in the past 3 weeks. There may be some fish up in Allatoona Creek we just haven't been that far south in weeks. Trolling has been by far the best bite on the water after the sun comes up. December and January are 2 of the only months of the year that trolling will out product live bait fishing sometimes as much as 7 to 1 in a full day trip. This is the time of the year you have to be universal when it comes to striper fishing. We prefer live bait fishing over trolling but there are just sometimes of the year that trolling just can't be beat. Top water is really starting to heat up. So keep a spook or a Sammy ready for these busting beasts.
