SATURDAY ON OCONEE 2/20/16

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee today. We launched at Sugar Creek at 7:30 and started searching for fish. At 11:00, with only one fish in the cooler, we finally found some cooperative fish on the north end of the lake. The fish were stacked in a channel that was 20-23 deep. Jim pushed jigs out of the front of my boat while I long lined out the back. We quit fishing around 3:15 and kept 28 good fish. The fish in the pictures are both 13+ inches. The best fish producer was a Southern Pro curly tail wildcat color but we caught fish on about every color. The water temperature was 49 degrees when we started and rose to almost 51 degrees. The water was stained but not muddy.

Nice catch! How deep were you fishing? I'm going next week and hope to find some good spots. We went yesterday but wasn't out there but for a little while.

Looking good! We fished mid lake and limited out on dang good fish by 3 pm I am going to post pics tomorrow

That's the way it was for us on Friday...we had 7 fish by 11...moved to another cove found fish stacked up and finished with 29. Good looking fish.

Fishing 1/16 th doubles on some and 1/16 single with 1/16 oz split shot on others. Speed .8-1.0 mph. Casting lines out as far as I could. Probably fishing 12-13 feet deep. I really don't know exactly. Most of the fish were 15-23 feet deep.

Thanks Hobo. We haven't quit. Things keep coming up on the good fishing days. I also spent the last two months building cabinets for my shop and remodeling it. I'm trying to get caught up around the house because the fishing is about to get real good if the weather cooperates.

Great catch guys. Glad you caught em!

Nice fish and a great trip. The water looked good on Oconee too.
