Thread: OCONEE FRIDAY 2/17/17

I fished Lake Oconee today with my youngest son Matt and his friend Frank. We fished from 7:45-4:30. The water temperature was 54-55 when we started and 58 when we finished. It was a beautiful day on the water but the bite for us was a little slow particularly first thing this morning. We combo trolled by pushing 5 rods out of the front of the boat and pulling 8 rods. We rigged with 1/16 jig head doubles and 1/16 singles with 1/16 split shot. We caught fish on popsicle, wildcat, blu/blk/char, Lake Weiss Killer and bubble gum. No particular jig seemed to work better than the rest today. We caught fish in the channel as well as a few on the flats adjacent to the channel. You can tell from the photos that the guys had a good time. We kept 25 nice crappie.
