Line side fishing is good and getting better daily. Fishing slowed down a little bit during the cold front that came in earlier in the week, put has picked back up. Live bait is producing fish on the down lines. Look for these fish right on the edge of the river channel and in the mouth of mid lake creeks. Thread fin shad seems to be working better the gizzard shad. This time of the year the fish are feeding on small baits. This is about the only time of the year you can catch a 20 pound striper on a medium shiner. The water temperatures are right at 59 degrees. When it hits 55, the flat line and planner board bite should heat up. Fishing has been best the week from Kellogg’s Creek to as far south as Stamp Creek. The top water bite is on fire right before dark. The island out in front of Harbor Town has had the best action on top. Then anywhere else on the lake right before dark. Trollers your bite is by far the best bite on the lake. Troll the edge of the river channel from Kellogg’s Creek to Clear Creek with your Mack Farr umbrella rigs and hold on. This has been the best bite this week.

Line side fishing is good and the lake is looking good with clear water and no smell and very few air pockets. This means the end of the turn over and time to get back on the water. I’m starting to boat good numbers of fish. With most of them being hybrid and spots. With a few stripers mixed in. Live bait is working well on flat lines, free lines and planner boards. The best time for this is early morning and late afternoon. During mid day find a point set up over a 30 to 40 foot bottom and down line. Most of the fish I caught this week came at 30 feet deep. I have seen a few sea gulls this week or as I like to call them, little white Lowrance’s. This tells me by the end of the month the lake will be cover with them. If it holds true like year pasted this will be the best way to find feeding fish. The top water bite is getting better and seems to be best right at dark. A Jr. Fluke on a popping cork is best. Trollers your bite is good and may be the best bite on the lake right now. And the Mack Farr umbrella rig is working well right in the middle of the river channel.

Line sides fishing has not changed and is good . Fish mid lake south being the best place to look right now. With the cold nights we have had in the past few days. The water temp is down below 70. So we should start to see some good fishing real soon. Just remember the lake is all most turn over so it is almost time to start pulling flat lines and planner boards. This will work best in the morning and afternoon. And during mid day try down lining in the mouth of the creeks. These fish are deeper right now then weeks past. Troller’s keep pulling your Mack Farr u- rigs on the edge of the river channels during mid day. Top Water is very slow right now. But keep a Zara Spook Jr. ready. The top water bite is about to break loose.

Carters Lake. The bite on Carters is really starting to heat up. By clients have been catching some really nice Stripers along with some monster hybrids. The humps and main lake points on the south end of the lake has been producing best. The top water bite is starting to heat up early morning and again right before dark. First Bite Guide Service clients have held two separate records for line-sides on Carters Lake in the past two years and we are hoping to do it for a 3rd time this year. If you would like to book a Lake Allatoona or Carters Lake trip with us. Please give us a call at 770 827-6282.

Line side fishing is really good right now if your on fish. If your not you can Zero just as well. The live bait bite is very slow right now. But the trolling and spooning bite is off the charts at time. Trollers this is your time to shine.. All the fish I have caught in the last 2 weeks have been south of Kellogg’s Creek. Mack Farr umbrella rigs seem to be the ticket for the trollers. Along with a 1 ounce Flex It spoon for jigging. Look for these fish as deep as 50 feet over open water. The top water bite has slowed down a lot but keep a Jr. Spook ready just in case they pop up. The south end of the lake has been best for top water action the best place right now.

Carters Lake Fishing Report For Oct 22

As most of you know I guide on Carters Lake during the months of November, December, January and into February. My clients have held the lake record for Hybrids on two separate occasions on Carters in the past two years. Line side fishing on Carters is very good. On October 22 we boated some really good stripers into the mid teens and hybrids over 10 pounds on live bait and umbrella rigs. The best bite right now is south of mid lake. The fish are still holding in a summer pattern. Look for these fish out over the river channel and in the mouth of the creeks. Also look for these fish deep. We caught fish as deep as 45 feet deep down lining trout in the past few days. Bart’s Bait and Tackle has some really nice trout.

Line side fishing is starting to improve but still just fair at best. The north end of the lake is producing some hybrids with a striper mixed in. The lake is starting to turn right now and then throw in the full moon phase and that made fishing twice as hard this week. But the worst is all most over fishing in the next 2 weeks should get great. It does every year at this time. And this year should not be any different. It’s all most time for planner boards and flat lines now. And if you don’t have planner boards get them. I think that’s way I catch more fish this time of the year then most. Flat lines are good but are better when used with planner boards. The night bite is all so starting to improve with a very good crappie bite under Hydro Glow light. www.hydroglow.com It’s that time of the year go feel you freezer. Troller is improving with the Mack Farr 3 arm umbrella with half ounce jigs is best and add a one ounce jig in center

Line side fishing has been Fair this week, but hopefully will get better by the weekend. The fish are easy to find on your Lowrance but getting them to bite is another story. Just keep putting the bait right on there nose and wait. Mid lake still seems to be holding most of the fish. But don’t over look the pass. I have marked a lot of fish in there this week. They just don’t want bite. Trolling may be the best all round bite going right now. Mack Farr umbrella rigs in all white seem to be the ticket for the trollers right now. The top water bite has slowed down a lot. But keep a Jr. Spook ready just in case they pop up. The south end of the lake has been best for top water action the best place right now.

Line side fishing is Good right now . The bite this week started off Very slow on Sat.( East Winds ). But has rebound nicely by week in. The fish are still deep 30 -50 feet deep. Live bait is really starting to work well on these fish right now. Plus there is also a good spoon bite right now. The southend of the lake is still the place to be. Any where from clear Creek to the Allatoona Creek arm. Troll these area’s with your Mack Farr u-rigs. As soon as you find one of these MEGA schools drop live bait down to them or use a 1 oz spoon on them. The northend of the lake is starting to show signs of the turnover. There is still alot of bass ( Spots and Large Mouths ) up north. But very few line-sides ( Stripers and Hybrids )….

The top water bite is really starting to get good. Look for these fish on top early morning and late afternoon.It’s hard to beat a Sammy when these fish are schooling on top. Look for these fish on the flats out in front of Kellogg Creek.

Lines side fishing is very good for hybrids and small stripers and great for white bass, The fishing this week is the same as last week. We are still catching hybrids just not as many as weeks past. The mid lake from Kellogg Creek up to Stamp Creek is producing best right now. The Allatoona Creek arm and Little River are dead right now and most of the fish we are catching are in the middle section of the main lake. Fish right on the edge of the river channel either trolling single jigs up in the water column or with down rods 18 to 35 feet down, depending on where you’re marking fish. The schools are real tightly bunched. If you get the down rods in the right place you have a good chance to double up. The white bass are schooling all over on top. Those ½ pound to 1 ¾ pound whites are coming up in big schools. Use a popping corks or a Jr spook is your best bet. We still have plenty of good days open for Oct if you would like to book a trip please give me a call at 770 827-6282 or visit www.lakeallatoonafishing.net

Line side fishing is very good. The fishing this week is the same as last week with the exception that the trolling bite may be as good as the live bait bite. I am still finding big schools of line-sides out of the river channel this week. Last year it was easy to find the fish but they just wouldn’t bite. This year it’s a different story if you can find them you can load the boat. I said it last week and I will say it again this week. This is the best Sept that I can ever remember when it comes to numbers.. The fish are still scatter from one end of the lake to the other.. We caught fish this week from mile marker 1E to as far north as Victory Landing. The live bait bite is great right now. Shad, shiners and bream are all working well. The trolling bite is just as good. (See Craig at the Dugout for all your umbrella rig needs) as the live bait bite. We caught fish this week trolling fully loaded umbrella rigs out over the river channel. And we also caught a few on lead core. There is also a great white bass bite. Look for schooling whites out in front of Kellogg’s and dust, cast to breaking fish or drop a jigging spoon. I still have some really good days open for Sept.
