I am taking an old and dear friend to Oconee Tuesday. Where is my best chance to get him on some Specs or Stripers. Lick, Sugar, Main channel, Double Branches? I have not been up there this year.
Thanks

We've been fishing mouth of Lick. Good luck. Headed that way Wednesday.Know some folks been fishing down by the dam. Friend of mine went Saturday, says water temp got up to 50 by time they left, if that helps.
I fished double creek last Thursday for crappie and could not keep the stripers off my crappie jigs. Two days before another boat caught 10 stripers. That day the crappie were in there. I'll be there tomorrow Tuesday at sunrise at the long shoals boat ramp.
Long is where I am going to put in also,Quote:

After weeding through a bunch of tater chips in Cedar Creek Saturday we went to Oconee yesterday in search of better size. Put in at Fish Tale at daylight. We moved a few times looking for fish that would eat, wound up picking up a couple of good crappie and 8 or 9 stripers around the submerged timber and big island just south of Long Shoals boat ramp I think that's the mouth of Double Creek but like I said, I'm not an Oconee regular. We didn't blister them but it was steady enough to keep us interested. Left them biting around noon when the pleasure boaters got the waves going. Several boats eventually wound up in the area, looked like everyone had about the same luck we did. Fish seemed scattered over anywhere from 25ft to 60ft bottom. Saw 50 degree water temps. They wanted dark colors with and without a minnow at 1.2 mph. Good luck.
I wanna go, but I have a sore ankle, and have to wear an air-cast thing on my left foot. I think I can launch the boat OK. Thinking of going Thursday.
We fished Saturday out of Sugar Creek. went under the bridge towards the timber and fished 20-25 fow around 12 ft deep. we didnt kill them but we caught quality fish, keeping 21. dark colors were the trick. water temp was 48-50

If I can get off I will hopefully be going this Thursday if not I will be out there Friday. We’ve been doing good on the south end of lake but may be putting in further up depending on reports this week
Gonna try it Thursday myself. Temps in the mid 70’s got me itching to go. Gonna wait and see if anybody gets on em and posts there results before I decide where to go. Thinking Sugar, Lick or Double Branches. Be in a 18’ camo G3 center console if anyone wants to holla at me.
I’m going to try Lick in the morning Danbo... gimme a shoutout if you see a Scandy-White on the water.

The mouth of Double Creek is loaded with bait and striper/whites/hybrids. Not sure where the hybrids are coming from. Sonny Perdue supposedly stopped GA hatcheries from producing them.
I ended up with 11, but good fish..11”-14”...stayed in Lick.Quote:

I was going to Blackshear Thursday (finally!), but forecasted winds for Thursday are 10-15 mph...so I am heading north. Maybe the winds will be better on Friday and I can get some time on Blackshear.Quote:

All creeks, and main lake coves are stacked with fish. Water temp high 54 in the PM.
Thursday could be a really good day. I would go but at my age and condition, I am only good for one trip per week. I live 70 miles from Sinclair, Oconee, and Clark Hill.
I shouldnt fish every day with my disability but i just cant help it. I fished yesterday and went back this morning and back got to hurting so bad i had to go home But i did get a couple stripers for freezer.. Will try Sugar Creek tomorrow but will not be out there for more than four hours.
Prayers for a speedy recovery RJR!
