This Lake Allatoona fishing guides report for striper and hybrid has been brought to you exclusively by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service, 770 827-6282. www.firstbiteguideservice.com Line side fishing is Fair. The cold weather has trigger a major shad kill. This kill is the biggest we have seen in a few years.. The good news is it hit quick and should be a shorter kill then we have seen in past year. There is still a bite out there but nothing like we had back in December. We are catching fish on many different techniques. Early in morning we are doing well using shad on planner board, free lines and even down lines where getting a bite or two right at sun up. By 930am the live bait bite really slows down. This is when you want to swap over to your U-Rigs. The U-rig bite is the strongest bite going right now. I have been doing very well pulling my rigs between 930am -1pm mid lake. The key to catching these fish is your speed. 2.5 miles and hour has been the best for me. The shad kill will make fishing a little difficult for the next couple of weeks. But it should really make for a Great spring....
