FALL CRAPPIE LIVESCOPE

I fished Lake Oconee yesterday using Livescope. I have been waiting for the weather to change and yesterday was the day for me. It was cloudy and there were a few sprinkles and the fish were looking up. The water was 66-68 degrees and the fish are still in the timber. I caught a few good fish on jigs but most were caught with minnows. I rigged two rods with Thill slip bobbers 1/16 oz size with a bobber stop set at 13 feet above the bobber. Below the bobber I tied on a leader (18-20 inches) to a swivel. Below the swivel I tied a red bead, 1/16 oz sinker and a size 4 hook. I fished timber in 25-30 feet of water. The fish were suspended at 10 feet to 20 feet but I caught most at a depth of 12-13 feet. I ended the day with 16 fish which were 11 inches or better and probably caught at least 25-30 fish altogether. If you watch the video I hope you enjoy it.

Good times

Awsome video

I’m debating on putting live scope on my boat. May need to see it in action live before I get my mind made up.
it seems that you definitely have it figured out.

I still have a lot to learn. Finding the fish is the easy part, getting them to bite is the hard part. They can be stubborn at times but it is fun when they do cooperate. Boat control is another issue.

Hotwater, do you still have your trolling gear?

Oh yeah! Jim and I will get back to trolling together as soon as I can get caught up with some things here at home. I will do both but when the trolling bite is good we troll.

Headed to Oconee next week for the first time. What is the best ramp to use this time of year that is convenient to I-20?

I would use the ramp at Swords or Blue Springs Marina. I think both charge $5.00.

Having used Live Scope for 1 1/2 years successfully I can say that it does help you locate where fish are hanging out that day. However, you still have to be very good at catching them if you plan on catching several from one spot. One and done is easy while catching multiple keepers from one spot takes skill. It’s a thinking man’s game as my mentor says.

Bon Temps !!!
