Level: full pool

Trout
The trout bite has been slow the last week or so. We have managed to catch a few bigger fish in deep water with live Herring. These fish are holding over a 60 to 80ft bottom. We have marked some really big schools of smaller fish but to no avail. These fish will start biting with the cooler fronts that usually come in towards the beginning of October. As the water temps drop into the low 70s and high 60s we should see a top water small spoon or fluke bite. The trout population seems to be the best I have seen in years. The fall and winter bite should be unreal this year.
Bass
The bass bite has really picked up over the last few days. We have been landing some healthy Spotted Bass and Large Mouths. Most of these fish have been out over the main lake channels. We have been catching them with crank baits in the 20 to 30 ft depths. Look for the bass to pull up shallow over the next few weeks. The Spook and Sammy bite will peak as the water cools a little into the 60deg range. Most of the bait fish that the bass are chasing are very small 2in. Try casting small flukes on ultra lite gear.
Walleye
October is a great month to target a North Georgia Trophy Walleye. These fish have been deep all Summer and will be looking for those shallow water baitfish schools. Try trolling small tiger pattern Rapalas or Yo-Zuri crank baits size 5 or 7. Slow the boat speed a little 2.4 mph. Try trolling deep water ledges where there are rock outcroppings or dense brush. The Walleye are very structure oriented and always keep close to structure.

Good Luck!
