LAKE ALLATOONA
(This Lake Allatoona fishing guides report for stripers and hybrids has been brought to you exclusively by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service, 770 827-6282) – Lineside fishing is fair. The cold weather triggered a major shad kill. This kill is the biggest we have seen in a few years. The good news is it hit quick and should be a shorter kill then we have seen in past year. There is still a bite out there, but nothing like we had back in December.

We are catching fish on many different techniques. Early in the morning we are doing well using shad on planner board, free lines and even down lines.  Where getting a bite or two right at sun up. By 930am the live bait bite really slows down. This is when you want to swap over to your U-Rigs. The U-rig bite is the strongest bite going right now. I have been doing very well pulling my rigs between 930am -1pm mid lake. The key to catching these fish is your speed – 2.5 miles an hour has been the best for me. The shad kill will make fishing a little difficult for the next couple of weeks, but it should really make for a great spring...

Been going out sporadically and catching a few spots here and there.  Mostly on chatter baits and crank baits (Red) believe it or not!  Temps have been up and down so fish are moving in and then hunker down with the falling temps.  Next two nights gonna be in the low 30's....
