Bass fishing is tough. The mud line is pretty much almost at the dam on the Etowah arm. It's stained up to about the mouth of Stamp and McCaskey Creek then it's fairly muddy. The Allatoona arm is clear to roughly about Allatoona landing. If you don't like fishing in the cold and muddy water you might want to consider staying home and watching football. Fishing was tough for us today and I do think we managed a limit of keepers. The fish we did catch were solid keepers in the 1.5 pound range. We caught some on crank baits and some on spoons. The best pattern is to arrive early and leave late and cast like heck all in between (i.e. no pattern). The deep/cold/muddy water was not fun to us today even with the 20 mph winds. When the water clears up we should be in great shape on quite a few different techniques if we can keep this cold weather on top of us. Back to my trip with Jim Hakala our fisheries biologist. Jim would like our support on a very cool project he is working on to help the anglers enjoy Lake Allatoona. I have the following dates open.

Line side fishing is good and not much has change from last week. The lake is stain from one end to the other. Finding clear water is the ticket. Free lines and planner boards in the morning and late afternoon and then down lines in the middle of the day. As the water starts to clear fishing should get better. We still aren't loading the boat. But the fish we caught where good fish. Hope to have a better report for you next week. Trolling is still working and the best times seems to be mid day. For the next month we are going to offer a Carters Lake special along with and Allatoona special when you mention Ken Sturdivant’s name.
