This Lake Allatoona fishing guides report for striper and hybrid has been brought to you exclusively by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service, 770 827-6282. www.firstbiteguideservice.com Lake Allatoona, Georgia email: eidson6260@comcast.net.

Line side fishing is hit or miss right now. The bait is still out over the river channel and so are the fish. Down lines are working best right now. And the fish are deep. The best bite is between 24-40 feet deep. Gizzard shad and threadfins are working best. Mid lake seems to be holding most of the bait and fish right now. But in the next couple of weeks we should start seeing more bait on the south end of the lake and with the bait comes the fish. This has been one of the slowest fall's we can remember for stripers in years. We hope we are just a few days away from some good striper fishing on Allatoona. Trolling is by far the best bite on the lake right now. The Mack Farr u-rig troll right in the middle of the river channel at a speed of 2.9 miles and hour and watch what happens. Just remember you only allowed 2 stripers over 22 inches per person in the boat, stripes, hybrids and white bass. It seems like most people think that just applies to stripers But they are wron g it applies to all line sides. The State will be doing boat checks all winter. Stay with in your limit.

SPECIAL NOTE. Just because the lake levels are falling don't think you can't load the boat with fish. The best fishing every year is when the lake is at it lowest. Remember with less water this also means less boats and less fishing pressure. I look for the lake record striper to be caught this year. And I truly believe it will be caught by one of my clients. First Bite Guide Service has its boats wet slip on Allatoona. Even if all the ramps close. We will be open all winter. Please call and book your trip today. And remember fishing Trips make a GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT
