Allatoona: Level: 0.7 feet above full. Temp: 72 degrees. Clarity: 5 feet. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “The topwater bite is still good, and some fish can still be caught fairly shallow early in the morning.

Bass: Tournament angler Dennis Hudson reports, “A good pattern is fishing topwater early and late with frogs and buzzbaits around grass, and also try walking baits around points, rocks and seawalls.

Carters: Level: Full pool. Temp: Mid 60s. Clarity: Clear.
