Allatoona Weekly Crappie Fishing Report:
Labor Day is one of the happiest days for a die hard crappie angler on Lake Allatoona because that signals that a change is coming! Changes in boat traffic, weather, lake temps and lake levels. All good trends for Allatoona crappie fishing! This week was a nice taste of the fall weather to come but was it WINDY! The temperature was great but the wind made it virtually impossible to fish at the beginning of the week if you were trying to spider rig. Our long time friend and Red Rooster Pro Staffer, Jeff "CrappieMan" Albright managed to get out on Thursday and had a great day. Jeff had 22 crappie by 0930 on Thursday as well as a few spotted bass and catfish! This is the best part...he caught every fish...TROLLING! The fish were caught using Red Rooster custom 1/16th oz., 1/24th oz. underspin jig heads and Slab Dragons in the 'Lectric Chicken and Cajun Chicken colors. The Red Rooster Talon 2.0 in Sasquatch (Black and Orange) caught a couple of the crappie as well. Trolling 1/16th and 1/24th underspin jig heads at .08 - .10 mph over big brush piles was the ticket for catching the crappie for Jeff and his client. The 1/16th underspin was working well for crappie and the 1/24th underspin seemed to bring in the spotted bass and catfish. If you want to learn more about crappie fishing on Lake Allatoona contact CrappieMan to schedule a trip, you will not be disappointed! Keep an eye on the lake level and water temps. As the lake drops and the water temperature cools the crappie will start getting active and begin moving around...that's when the trolling gets fun! As we get deeper into fall keep an eye on the Red Rooster weekly reports for crappie activity and helpful tips! Remember to keep only the crappie that you need and release the rest to keep our great fishery strong for generations to come! Lord willing Team Red Rooster will bring you another report next week!

Verse of the Week: For the grace of God (Jesus) that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. ~ Titus 2:11-14
