Allatoona is on FIRE!

Lindsay (my girlfriend) and I hit the lake monday afternoon from about 4pm until about 30 min. before dark. I brough a tube of crickets, some crappie jigs along with all the normal stuff, just to catch some fish. First we putter around Glade Marina for an hour or so and catch a few bream around the docks.

Then, we head out around the red top area and things got pretty interesting. I headed back into a pocket that I have been doing pretty well in and we just camp out. As we pull in, I notice that there is shad flipping everywhere. I hook up two rods with crappie jigs and put them in rod holders behind the boat. I start casting a shakey head and pick three up in about 5 feet of water around a tree. Lindsay is throwing a beetle spin and she is doing pretty good with the bream. Then, all of a sudden the spots start going crazy back in the pocket.

A crappie rolls up on it side right next to the boat, and then a massive spot comes up and devoures it right in front of me! All of a sudden, shad start flying everywhere and the bass just go crazy on them. I grab a spinner bait and start burning it across the surface. It gets slammed by a nice spot and I let Lindsay finish catching it. Then, I tie on a spit-fire from Bill Lewis and start popping it as hard as I can. A spot comes up and slams it! Three casts later a spot hits it 3 times before he finally gets hooked. Then, the very next cast, another spot crushes it, but pulls off.

The action was fast a furious for about two hours. An soon as the fish would come up, we would throw some topwater and they would NAIL IT. It was fun catching them on top, and I cant wait to get back out there.

All the fish were caught in no more than 5 feet, and most were in about 1.5 feet. All in all a great day, and now for a few pictures...

Nice looking spots sounds like the dead sea is not so dead after all lol.

I love top water action.

I was gonna chime in yesterday but hesitated!! I don't wanna hear any ladies complaining when these cute gals are purposely letting themselves get put on here for their....I mean to show off the fish in bikinis... I mean.... oh nevermind!!
Nice pair of fish she has there!!

Thanks for the kind words guys! She know she is on the site (and a few others) and lurks around on a few of the boards to make a few comments when she thinks she can be funny...lol

But I moved to Kennesaw from Lawrenceville (to Allatoona from Lanier ) about two years ago and was really upset about leaving Lanier. The quality of fish arn't quite up to Lanier standards, but Allatoona deffently does not deserve its title of the dead sea. I can be tough, but so can any other lake. I am almost to the point where if I was going bass fishing, I would rather fish Allatoona than anywhere

[Bassin Billy]

you don't have her on any of those inappropriate sites do you??

[pbmang]

Haha...I could probably make a little $$$ if I did that, but nope. Sites like Gon.com and allatoonainfo.com, THOSE kind of sites...lol
