    Default LAKE OCONEE 10/23/19


    Jim and I fished Lake Oconee yesterday and had one of our best early fall days. The water was 73 early and rose to 75 during the day. The fish are tight to the timber but we found a few that liked what we were offering. Jim pushed 8 rods out of the front rigged with a 3/4 oz trolling sinker about 20 inches above a 1/16 oz jig head baited with a curly tail jig or Charlie Brewer Slider Grub. Jim also manned 4 of my long lines up front and I managed 4 long lines out of the back of the boat. The long lines were all rigged with 3/32 oz jig tied with a loop knot over a 1/32 oz jig also tied with a loop knot. The long lines were also rigged with curly tails and slider grubs. The bite was sporadic but we stayed on the fish and the wind cooperated. At the end of the day we had 21 fish 11-14.5 inches. We kept 15 fish. It was a beautiful day on the water. I hope you enjoy the video.

    Y'all are like a well-oiled machine. Nice fish!

    Dang, I wish I lived closer to Oconee than Lanier.
