Line side fishing is great. The bite this week is the same as last week maybe even better change nothing. The bite up the river is getting stronger each pasting day. Just last week we got reports of two fish over 30 pounds being caught just north of Knox Bridge. With all the rain we have had in the past two weeks I look for a great bite up the river this spring. These fish can be caught on live shad as well as cut bait fished on the bottom. Chicken livers fished on the bottom will also work. They are still a few fish on the south end of the lake but your best bet is up north. Mid lake fishermen should fish the mouth of the creeks. We have been getting most of our fish free lining shad and jumbo shiners 50 feet behind the boat. Trollers are using the Mack Farr umbrella rig and doing fair. The key speed is about 3.1 miles an hour and color does seem to matter. Late March and April are two of the best Months for line sides on Allatoona get the kids and let’s go fishing.
