Oconee - Saturday June 26

[okeespec]

Me and some buddies fished Saturday night on Oconee and did real well. We caught over fifty and kept 20. We fished from just before dark till about 12:30 am. We were fishing in the trees across from Long Shoals Cover by the point with the flag pole. I had two green lights in the water and we were anchored next to a tree in 28 feet of water. When the bait fish moved in they were on. No bait - no bite. Back to my Lake Lanier blues. Lanier might be the most difficult lake in the world to fish (at least for me). I do ok when I go way up north into the rivers but I live on the south end and can't seem to figure out where the heck those Crappie hide.

Good luck to everyone. Oconee fished great as usual.

Good report and nice catch okee. Sounds like you boys had a great time. Russell is to me like Lanier is to you. It's practically in my backyard but I havent fished it hardly at all this year other than during the spawn. I've been spending most of my time on Clark Hill this year. CH is the lake I learned to fish on 30+ years ago so it's more like "home" to me anyway.:o

fished from 6:30 till 11. caught about 50, kept 18 good ones. minnows are the key right now. brush had to be in at least 20 foot of water. no jig bites on docks at all. take a cooler full of ice with you because they will not last 5 minutes in the live well even with the aireators running. water temp 86 at 11:00

Thanks for the reports on Lanier guys. I'm taking my brother in law tonight. He's in from Mississippi. I guess I'll probably go tie up to the 6 Mile Creek bridge. I haven't had luck there in years but I guess I'll give it a shot anyway. I was thinking about trying that bridge in Flowery Branch Creek. I've never fished it and it looks great. Do you guys have any suggestions? I have a bass boat that I use. If you guys ever want to go, let me know. I can't promise any results on Lanier but happy to take you sometime. I've got Colon Cancer and I'm going through chemo so I can basically go on my off weeks. I try to go as much as I can but that chemo is kicking my but.

Good luck to you all and thanks for the feedback and great posts.
