Thread: MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY OCONEE REPORT

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee Monday out of his boat and today out of mine. We kept 20 fish Monday and 25 fish today. The morning bite was best for us on both days. We had 20 fish by lunch time today and picked up 5 more after lunch. The good news is the fish are in the woods. The bad news is the fish are in the woods. We caught fish early in the channel near the timber but as soon as the sun started getting high the fish ran for the forest. As always timber in 25 FOW seems to be ideal. We caught fish on all of the usual favorite curly tails yet the best fish catcher both days was the red/yellow/chart tube jig pictured in this post. We probably caught at least half the fish on Monday on the tube jig. It worked well today also and we had good success with it last spring. Jim pushed jigs out the front both days and I pulled out the back.
