That is a good question. I hate to be negative as I love Lake Oconee but for Jim and I the long line trolling has been off for the past few years. I hope it is just a phase that lakes go through and that it will improve but I'm skeptical. I am 10 minutes from the Georgia Power ramp at the Dam on Lake Jackson. Over the years Jim and I have caught some good fish on Jackson but we never trolled it much due to the fact that we would catch so many small fish. I can drive 10 minutes and catch a lot of small fish or I can drive 45 minutes and catch a lot of small fish. It is a no brainer given the price of gasoline. As a side note, isn't it amazing how some people in that far away land of OZ can affect where I fish!???? I'm not done fishing Oconee and as long as Jim and I can take turns driving the gas costs are half as much if that makes sense. On a positive note I have caught some good fish on Oconee this past fall using Live Scope but Jim and I prefer long lining as it is an easy and effective way to fish esp. for old guys. I'm curious and hope others who fish Lake Oconee will give some feedback to this post. Is it just Jim and I or has anyone else noted a change in the Crappie fishing on Oconee?
