Allatoona Weekly Crappie Fishing Report:
The first couple of days this week was great for crappie fishing on Lake Allatoona and then we go hit with 3" - 4" of rain and a cold front the middle part of the week. We were able to get out a couple of days before the rain and front moved in and landed several nice keeper crappie! We went out one day and squeezed the last little bit of trolling we could out of this spring and it paid off! We got out in the morning and trolled in 8' of water using 1/24th jig heads and 1/24th oz underspins at .8 mph. We were blessed with 17 keeper crappie and the best part was that we caught several nice white crappie. A couple of our team members tried their luck using bobbers targeting shallow cuts that had laydowns and stickups. The Dagger in the UV Shad & UV Smoke on a 1/32nd oz. jig head was working well for the shallow bite. The rains came in at the middle of the week and with 3" - 4" of rain raised the lake up to full pool (840'). We expect some trash and debris the rest of the week but hopefully it won't be too bad since the lake had already experienced heavy rains and fluctuation earlier in March. Hopefully the weather stabilizes next week and we can target active post-spawn crappie.

Verse of the Week: Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it. For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.” But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him. ~ Mark 9:30-32.
Jesus predicts his death and resurrection a second time. He left no room for doubt. He told the disciples exactly what was going to happen to him. The disciples did not understand what Jesus was saying or why he was saying these things. They could not comprehend this after all that they had seen and heard HOW or WHY Jesus would be killed. Who would want to kill anyone who healed the lame, the blind, the sick, the demon possessed, fed thousands and gave hope to the poor in spirit? Why would anyone want to kill such a blameless person who only helps & ministers to people? The Disciples were struggling with the fact that Jesus said he was going to die but on top of that...what did he mean by "He will rise the third day"? This would be a very strange conversation for anyone to have but a necessary one for Jesus to have with his disciples to prepare them for what was coming...and to establish himself as a prophet like Moses fulfilling Deuteronomy 18:18. May God bless everyone who reads this report and I pray that you will have a blessed week!
