LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 85 DEGREES BY AL BASSETT, 706 473 7758
Lake
Oconee is two and one half foot down with a water temperature
of between 82 to 86 degrees. Most of the lake is clear with a little
stain up the rivers. Bass fishing is fair and when Georgia Power
moves water the fishing is fair. Most fish are being caught on
Carolina rigged Zoom finesse or u-tail worms in the green pumpkin
or watermelon color. Fish these baits on 12 pound test Trilene
line with a 2 to 3 foot leader using 10 pound test line. Fish the
long main lake points and under water islands. A Norman Deep Little
N fished in the same area has been catching some good fish. There
are a few good fish being caught under docks using a small pig-n-jig.
Check all area of a dock to see where the fish are holding then
target that area on other docks.
Crappie fishing
is fair. Fishing under the bridges or in standing timber with
lights is still your best bet. Use live minnows on 6lb p-line
with a number 6 gold hook to get the best results. You can catch
a limit of good crappie fishing deep water brush piles and underwater
drop offs during the day. Using live minnows is still the best
bait to use. A few crappie in the 1 ½ to
2 pound range are showing up.
