Allatoona Weekly Crappie Fishing Report:
We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving Week and last week of November 2024! Team Red Rooster was busy catching nice crappie on Lake Allatoona during the early part of week and enjoying this late fall weather! What a blessing it is to have such a great fishery and we are thankful for the men and women who practice conservation to keep this lake strong for generations to come! The week started off with a bang as we spent Monday trolling for crappie and we were not disappointed! The lake is coming down and cooling off but still around 4.5' higher than it was this time last year so the brush is still holding crappie until the lake comes down to around 830'. We were targeting brush and structure in the 12' - 15' range pulling 1/16th & 1/24th jig heads at .7 - .9 mph. The 1/16th jig heads at this speed will keep the jigs running around 6' deep. The 1/24th jig heads at this speed will keep the jigs running around 4'. The Crappie were suspended anywhere from 6' to 8' over brush and structure. When the sun came up over the trees we added some 3/32nd jig heads as we started searching for roaming crappie in 10' - 12' of water in mid-creek to the mouth of creeks. We did manage to catch a few open water crappie but for the most part they are still holding to brush. We caught doubles and triples when we trolled our jigs over the brush and structure. We had a good day trolling and as the lake level and water temps drop the crappie will only get more active, start schooling up and roam the creeks and flats. The Slab Dragon in Lemonade, Tre's Gold, Blue Glimmer & Sour Grape, the Kic'n Chic'n Tre's Gold & Pappy's Magic, the Talon 2.0 in Glow White Ice and Small Fry in 'Lectric Chicken were the main trolling colors this week. We got a good another great report from Hunter Moore with Moore Outdoorz Guide Service that they are finding active crappie on brush and deep water docks and his clients caught several slab crappie as well as some nice hybrids.! Hunter had great success casting to brush and on deep water docks where using the newly released UV Smoke on a 1/16th oz. jig head. Hunter and his clients were using other colors that were not producing but when they tied on the UV Smoke Dagger they started catching the crappie! UV Smoke Dagger is the latest color enhanced with an Ultra Violet additive that enhances light reflection in low light conditions. The UV Shad Dagger was also doing well in the early morning and late evening. 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!
