Jigs Used: The last week of October was warmer than expected which mean that the water temperature was close to 70 degrees! The Allatoona crappie are starting to move around and SHOULD be very active the month of November. We took a peek at the October report from this time last year (October 28th 2023) and we saw a lot of the same conditions, water temperature, lake level, water clarity. Based on our records and past reports we are right on schedule with the fall crappie bite on Lake Allatoona. Our good friend and Lake Allatoona fishing guide Hunter Moore had some great days on the water this past week! Hunter concentrated on brush/structure and docks this past week and neither him or his clients were disappointed! Hunter was casting a Red Rooster Dagger crappie jig in the Gray Ghost and Watermelon Ghost colors on a 1/16th oz. jig head. The water temp has stayed consistently in the 68-70 degree range for a couple of weeks which means that the crappie have not left the brush or structure just yet. That will all change in the next couple of weeks as the daily and overnight temps start dropping. We need the overnight temps to start dropping into the low 50's - 40's to cool the water down to the low 60's which should get these crappie roaming and ready for the longline trolling bite that we love so much in the late fall and winter! For the first couple of weeks in November or until the water temps drop concentrate on brush, structure and docks as the crappie are still hanging tight to structure in the 12' to 16' range suspended 8' - 10' above the structure. Early morning or late evening is still the best bet as the water temps are at their coolest which makes for active crappie. If you want to enjoy some great fall crappie fishing action on Lake Allatoona give our buddy Hunter Moore a call at 678-988-0044 or visit Mooreoutdoorz.com and schedule a trip! Hunter will put you on some fish and help you learn more about catching crappie on Lake Allatoona. Until next week, keep your eye on the lake level and water temperature as November is the transition month into the fall/winter trolling season...the crappie will be on brush one day and in open water the next! Lord willing Team Red Rooster will bring you another report next week! We now have a years worth of fishing reports archived on the site. Be sure to check out the archives for November 2023 and see what we were doing this time last year!
