Water is currently 8ft low and still falling regaurdless of how much rain you think we got LOL. With this cool front we just had it has made the fishies a little less hesitant to bite. Right now the fish are very scattered so that makes the run and shoot offense the best way to go in finding them by covering lots of water. I didn't see crap happening at the red top end of the lake for the 2 hrs I was there, so I packed up the boat and put it on the trailer and re launched out of Kelloggs and stayed in that area for the remainder of the day. Right off the bat I found some schooling fish around the mouth of Kellogg so I piddled with them for about 30 minutes and it was worth 4 spots on a bama rig. Then I decided to go mule huntin again with the 8 inch swimbait. I got my 5 bites and landed 4 of them and I had quite a few BIG followers throughout the day but couldn't get them to commit (but I know where they live) :). All of the fish caught were about 2.5lbs except for the kicker spot in the pic :). I think today I covered about 3 miles of water non stop in 6 hrs throwing the swimbait. Most of the fish I caught were where one type of structure stopped and another one started. Didn't really matter what the structure was they just liked that change up of structures for some reason. All the swimbait fish were in 8ft of water or less.
Some guys on the Allatoona forum wanted me to do a seminar on a multitude of topics pertaining to fishing Allatoona. So I decided to open it up to the public and rent out the Red Top Lodge banquet room. The seminar will be on Oct 7th (Saturday) from 4-8 (arrive 3:30ish). Topics will be Swimbaits on Allatoona, Sonar Interpretation, dropshot, Patterning Largemouth on Toona just to name a few to help everyone get ready for the fall/winter bite. Lots of prizes and donations will be given away. Click on the link for more info and directions to the banquet room.
