Headed to Oconee this weekend to do alittle trolling, was thinking about hitting double branches but been seeing everybody saying its slow in there. Was just looking for a few more ideas if anybody has had any luck elsewhere not looking for exact coordinates just a general area. May try Sugar Creek or Lick Creek also. Anyways thanks for any info that is given. Good luck everyone.
We have been at Oconee since Sunday, trolling bite is tough right now, caught 13 Sunday afternoon in Lick and managed to catch 41 yesterday...double branch and rocky are dead, the fish yesterday was scattered it was catch 2 in this cove, 3 in the next...adds up but a long day running the lake
Thanks for the info Dutch, I figured fish would be stacked up somewhere with this warmer weather we been having, but guess that isn't so
Hey Dutch
What was the water temp?
All the fish I saw on Oconee the last few days were suspended 5-8' in anywhere from 13-30' fow. If we can get a few days of warm weather in a row it will be on like donkey kong before the next full moon. Water temp yesterday was 58-60. We had the same experience as Dutch. The most fish we caught in one place was 5. All of them were were a # or better though.
Water temps today are 58.5 in 10 fow...fish have lockjaw bad...the rain last night really cooled.the water down...it was 60 yesterday. We have 12 keepers so far today.
Thanks
Maybe it will get better by Saturday
Good luck to y'all
Still on water, temps is 62 in coves fish stI'll scattered in 8Ft of water...28 fish caught now, fishing is slow all over the lake according to.other boats we talked.to
Dutch... I was in the red tracker Sunday evening in luck. I fished rocky ,double branch and lick had 7 fish. Tough day...
Stinger, this is the time of the year when they scatter ever where. It is actually harder to catch these fish during their spawn process. Many of the big females have completed their process. Rocky and Double Creek is not completely dead and you can do well in Lick or Sugar. Fish the early bite and especially the last two hours of the day. If the weather pattern holds, this spawn will be over by the 15th.
Do not discount the ole Jig or minnow under a cork. It stills works.
