Line-sides Fishing is Still Great Guys nothing has change since last week. Keep fishing the same way your have been. Planner Boards and flat lines at sun up and sun down. And troll the rest of the day. Fishing on Allatoona and Carters is at it's best. Get the kid and go . Mid-lake is still the place to be. There are tons of fish between Kellogg Creek and Stamp Creek right now. This is the only part of the lake I have needed to fish in the past 3 weeks. There may be some fish up in Allatoona Creek I just haven't been that far south in weeks.

Trolling has been by far the best bite on the water after the sun comes up..Dec and Jan are 2 of the only months of the year that trolling will out product live bait fishing sometimes as much as 7 to1 in a full day trip. This is the time of the year you have to be universal when it comes to striper fishing. I prefer live bait fishing over trolling but there are just sometimes of the year that trolling just can't be beat. And that time is right now. The Mack Farr u-rig is the only way to go if you are trolling. And color does make a different right now. And the Capt. Mack rigs with white jigs and chartreuse trailers are working best right now. You can now by these rigs at Boaters World off a Cobb parkway in Marietta. Here is there phone # 770 541-6580 and I think the Dugouts has them as well.

Top water The top water bite is really starting to heat up. The best time to take a Monster stripers off the top is right at sun up. And just before dark. These fish aren't as picky as the fish at Lanier.( Not as much fishing pressure ) they with hit anything you throw at them. When they are feeding on top.

I still got a few good days open for Christmas vacation . So give me a call and lets take the kids fishing. Remember Kids under the age of 12 fish free with paying adults ( 2 kids max. per trip ) Striper trips make a GREAT Christmas gift. So Moms give me a call and Dad something that he will remember for a life time. 770 827-6282

I would like to congratulate Grayson Usrey Grayson is age 9 and now holds the lake record On Carters Lake for the biggest Hybrid Grayson beat the old record by all most 2 pounds. Grayson caught this fis while fishing with his Grandpa ( Allen Stanley ). While on a guided fishing trip with FIRST BITE GUIDE SERVICE. Congrats again Grayson you did good..... Don't forget I will be speaking at the Alt. Boat Show again this year. Make plans to come see me. I will also be doing seminars in the next few months ay Boaters World and West Marina. More details in the next few weeks
