Lake Oconee Fishing Report December 2014

Oconee: Level: Full. Temp: 54-56 degrees. Clarity: Lightly stained.

Bass: Good. Tournament fisherman Aaron Batson reports, “Bass fishing is fair. Colder-than-normal weather has really hurt the shallow bite. Bait and bass are moving toward deeper water. Look for fish in 15 to 25 feet of water with your graph, and fish vertically over them with 7/8-oz. War Eagle silver spoons. Also, fish a drop-shot worm, like a 5-inch Trixster Custom Baits Money Maker worm in watermelon and green-pumpkin colors. Dipping the worm in some red or chartreuse JJ’s Magic will produce more bites in stained water. For the shallow bite, work some docks in 7 to 10 feet of water with a 3/8-oz. Net Boy Baits Flipp’n Jig. You won’t get many, but they will be nice fish.”
