LAKE OCONEE 2/17/20

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee yesterday. We had a good day and ended with 13 fish in the 11-14.5 inch range. We kept 10 fish for the skillet and released the 3 biggest fish. The water temperature was 53-55 degrees. We had 3 fish at 12:30. We decided to put the boat back on the trailer and move to another location. We were back on the water at 1:30. The fishing from 1:30 to 3:00 was slow but we managed to catch a few more in the 11 inch range. After 3:00 the big girls came out and the bite got much better. We rolled it up at 4:30 and headed back to Jackson. We combo trolled 1 mph and caught fish on several different colors. The Tennessee Shad, Charlie Brewer white/chart and June Bug were all good patterns. We enjoyed our day on the water. More rain on the way.
:dono I hope you enjoy the video.

Another Academy Award performance. Thanks for sharing

Always glad to see your fishing videos and updates. Gonna try and get down to Oconee as soon as the monsoon season lets up a bit.

Monsoon, man you ain't kidding! Tired of it, but I'm going tomorrow anyway. I spent good money on rain gear - might as well use it. As long as there isn't any high wind or lightning. If there is, then I'm out.

That first water was mubby the second water was nise glad you got out before the new rain you caught the best in the muddy water or the clear

Another nice video, keep them coming.

Clear.

Good report!! I also fished yesterday afternoon. I decided to take down a oak tree in the morning which went pretty fast so I loaded up the boat and headed to long shoals ramp. I also found the water to be muddy so after one trolling pass I decided to check out double creek. The water looked good and the large crappie were biting very good. Caught and released 12 fish from a pound to over 11/2 pounds. Also yesterday was a first. I caught a 3 lb striper on the top jig and a 13" crappie on the. Has this ever happened to you? Again great video
