January 2019: Hybrids and Stripers fishing is great on live bait and jigs! Crappie fishing is very good.

All trips $300.00 half day! I have dates open in February, March, and April. These are the best months of the year for crappie fishing. Fly fishing for Hybrids and Stripers will be good as well. Call 706-816-4281 or e-mail the dates you want to wmoore1700@outlook.com.

Hybrids and stripers – With all the rain we had in late December and early January, the lake has been muddy in the upper stretches and stained all the way to the dam. Before this water reached the dam, fly fishing for hybrids and stripers was good. Once the stained water moved in, we switched tactics and did mostly live bait and jigs on light spinning tackle. This bite has been very good, and we are seeing some large fish. The Barnes family was out the first weekend in January, a 7 & ¾ pound striper was caught and many very nice Hybrids!


Crappie – Now is the time for crappie. The fish don’t seem to mind the stained water and large numbers are being taken long lining jigs behind the boat. Many anglers wait until the spawn to go crappie fishing. That would be a mistake here on Lake Oconee because the larger fish will move up the lake into flats before the spawn. This is when the biggest crappie of the year are taken. Book a trip and bring home some nice slabs for table fare, it doesn’t get any better!

We are booking up quickly so call 706-816- 4281 or e-mail me at wmoore1700@outlook.com and request your dates. Remember, we offer fly fishing and conventional tackle trips for the best of both worlds. There is no deposit required to book a trip, just call and let’s go fishing!
