This Lake Allatoona striper and hybrid report fishing report has been brought to you exclusively by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service, 770 827 6282 www.firstbiteguideservice.com Lake Allatoona, email: eidson6260@comcast.net.
Line side fishing is excellent and it's the same as last week. An average trip this week has been between 20 to 35 fish on a four hour trip and its easy fishing right now. It's been incredible and it's really ABC fishing. Pick a main lake point, start in about 20 feet of water and start working out with your down lines. The line sides are setting up 18 to 24 feet deep, but they might be suspended over a deeper bottom. Today we didn't find them until we hit the 60-foot bottom, but the fish were 24 feet down. The umbrella rig is producing along with the down lines, but bites on top water and flat lines are nonexistent. The south end of the lake is the key. If you are fishing within sight of the dam, you're in a good area. Fish from Clear Creek south and then into Allatoona Creek to about the railroad trestle at the southern end of Allatoona Landing. There's nothing up north and the white bass bite has died. One other thing worth mentioning is last year's stocking of 100,000 stripers, about three times more than the lake normally gets. And I think every one of them lived. We have never seen so many peanut stripers at a pound, in my life. But the hybrids that we are catching are big and strong. www.lakeallatoonafishing.ner
