Lineside fishing is getting better. The lake temperature is starting to stabilize, and the bite seems to be as good south as it is mid-lake. The last few days we have been marking really good schools of fish from Clarks Creek to Kellogg’s Creek. These schools are a mixed bag of stripers, hybrids, whites and spots. They will eat almost anything when they come up. Our better fish are coming on threadfins and small gizzard shad fished on freelines. Striper Soup has both in stock. Remember, this is a slow time of the year for both tackle stores and fishing guides. Please support our local mom and pop businesses this time of year. They – we can use your business.
Trolling is good! The trolling bite has been my go-to bite after the sun comes up. I am pulling nothing but umbrella rigs right now. Color doesn’t seem to matter. It is more of a reaction bite right now. I have been having my best luck at 145 feet behind the boat at speeds of 2.4 – 3.1 miles per hour.
I’m really encouraged with what we’re seeing out there, and I expect one heck of a fall. We still have availability for this weekend. Call me at 770-827-6282 if interested.
