Thread: COMBO TROLLING LAKE OCONEE 10/15/18 (VIDEO)

Jim and I combo trolled on Lake Oconee yesterday. The water temperature was 78 degrees when we started and 82 degrees when we finished. As usual, Jim pushed 8 rods out of the front of the boat and also tended 4 of my long lines up front. I pulled an additional 4 long lines out the back. We were busy catching fish all day. The bite was steady and the bigger fish were caught during the afternoon. We caught over 30 fish 10 inches or longer and kept 13 fish that were 11 inches or longer. Our biggest fish was just under 14 inches. Jim's pushing rods were rigged with a 3/4 oz sinker about 20 inches above a 1/16 oz jig head. The long lines were rigged with 3/32 oz jig head tied with a loop knot about 2 feet above a 1/32 oz jig head also tied with a loop knot. We fished curly tail jigs and Charlie Brewer Grubs. The best fish catchers were an Arkansas Shad and a white/chart Charlie Brewer grub. The fish were holding near cover as is usual this time of year. The best fish were caught in 25-30 FOW in a creek channel. We were both fishing about 8-10 feet deep. The water was not stained. As usual we had a good day on the water and we didn't tear up any equipment.
