Line Sides!!!  The bite is starting to improve and will only get better in November.  The seagulls should be showing up in the next week or two.  That will make finding the white fish a little easier for us all.

Right now I am spending most of my time on the north end of the lake.  Bait is plentiful in the back of most creeks and around Little River.  Cast-netting bait is very easy right now and even the most novice of cast-netters can net plenty of bait right now.

That is the good news.

The bad news for you guys that like to live-bait fish is the live-bait bite is only good for about an hour right at sun up.  After that, trolling U-Rigs and using jigging spoons are the keys to catching numbers on Allatoona for the next few weeks.

The best bite going right now is from Little River to the S-Turns.  Then there is a secondary bite from Kellogg’s to Bartow Carver beach.  That bite is hit and miss right now, and will remain that away until the mid-section of the lake completely turns over.

Most of the fish we are catching right now are 18-24’ deep and can be found on points, humps and flats early.  After the sun comes up your best bet will be out over the river channel.

The topwater bite right now is slow, but look for it to pick up in early November.

Remember to be universal when it comes to techniques this time of year.  Trolling, topwater and jigging spoons will be the keys to catching numbers on Lake Allatoona for the next three months.

November is one of my favorite months to fish Allatoona.  I still have plenty of open days, so give me a call at 770-827-6282 for availability.  Or book your trip online at First Bite Guide Service.
