This Lake Allatoona fishing guides report is bought to you by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service. www.firstbiteguideservice.com 770 827 6282. Line side fishing is great and the summer pattern is in full swing. It's time for the down lines, umbrella rigs and down riggers. Shad are very hard to keep a live right with the heat every day. It avoid a bad day, take 24 shiners with you when you head to the water. The south end of the lake is by far the best bite on the lake. Live bait fished off of any main lake point will work, Also, the humps in the mouth of all the main creeks are holding fish and there is a good evening bite at the dam. The trolling bite is great for the bigger fish. We have had some really good fish this week pulling umbrella rigs near the mouth of Stamps Creek. The top water bite we have had the few weeks is gone and the full moon phase is the culprit. But we look for it to pick back up by the middle of next week. Stay tuned.
