What am i doing wrong?

[keviheit]

I just started fishing on Lake Altoona and have not had much luck with catching anything. The water is 85 degrees and been fishing for hybrids, spots or striper. The water can be 100 feet deep and I can cast on to shore on spots. In the morning I see fish busting on the surface but can’t seem to get anything to bite. After 9 A.M the fish have pretty much stop busting the surface. Any advice???

If you are talking about Lake Allatoona, just north of Atlanta, GA? The hybrid bite was good for the last couple of weeks early in the morning and right before total sunset. This past week the action has slowed considerably. This full moon coming on has most of the daytime activity (along with the thousands of boaters in the daytime) slowing down, a LOT! I hosted a night tournament out of the Bartow County Ramp last saturday night (7PM till 2AM Sunday Morn). The night bite is definitely the better bass bite. 1st place was 11.81 lbs with a 7.27 lb kicker fish. It took 10.08 just to get paid and there were 5 fish over 3 pounds weighed in (which is really good on Allatoona, with the exception of the 7.27 Largemouth , the rest were all spotted bass).
You can find me on www.allatoonabass.com (Tritonmike's website) or on my website www.porkostournaments.info, I am also a longtime moderator on the Texas Fishing Forum www.texasfishingforum.com



John, I am thinking about a Saturday night trip on the pads this weekend. Let me know if you're interested.

Yea that’s the lake I am talking about I have been out on it the last 3 weekend and on the water at by 6 A.M Have been going in at Red Top and fishing off the points on the main channel just north of that. I have been throwing Jr. Spook bone and silver. Rebel's Pop-R plus Blue/Silver, and Try the pumpkin jig. Not sure if I’m fishing the wrong part of the lake or if what I’m throwing is wrong.

Good job with the catch!!!

timing is everything with 'Toona'. fishing is during the daytime (even early morning is just plain downright TOUGH right now. I fished the Nutter's one fish Wonder tonight and had that went 3 and change. Got beat out by a feller with a high 4 pounder.All of our fish came out of the back of secondary creek pockets and shallow water. All Largemouth this time. The big spots and big largemouth WILL come up on the mainlake points around midnight and stay up till about 3 AM before slowing back down. Check out the websites I told you about. Another site that gets a few hits is the www.deadseamafia.com site.
