Striper fishing is good. The weather continues to be the key. Storms, high winds and cold fronts continue to make fishing challenging. There are some quality fish being caught but the numbers of fish are not what they should be this time of year. There is an early morning bite on free line herring and planner boards pulled across points and flats.  After about 9:00am start weighting your lines with split shots and move over deeper water. A large Gizzard on a balloon about 150 feet back is always a good idea for that lake record striper. You should also hang a downrod over the side and adjust the depth as needed. Without a well defined pattern the key is to "cover water". With the increase in water temperature its time to tie on a Red Fin and spend a little time throwing to points. The spots are biting and can keep your grandchildren busy during the slow periods. They will also "skin" your herring without you knowing.  Keep an eye on your lines and check your baits often. I pulled Umbrella rigs some this week without any success. The fish are scattered lake wide from the mouth of the creeks to all the way in the back. Mid lake seems to be best.  Chestatee Bay, Flat Creek, Balus, Six Mile and Two Mile creeks are good places to start.
