Ok guys, when do I need to plan to go to Oconee and fill my livewells? I have the serious itch to go but its a 2hr drive for me so I have to plan accordingly and make my work schedule so I can go as well. I was thinking of going sometime soon to sink my 2 Christmas trees. Probably wont help much but atleast it gives the young hatchlings something to get in after the spawn. I mostly tightline in the timber/stumps around the lake so I am waiting for them to move into those areas like they were in October. The wife is wanting to go when the weather is comfortable and camp on the lake and fish for a few days but I don't think Old Salem and Lawrence Shoals opens up until later in the spring.

Anyway, hope you guys are catching them and good luck!
