We fished Sunday morning and were off the water by 11:00am. All you need is topwater... found schoolers from redtop to the yacht club.

Yes get off the lake by 11, it's crazy busy after then.

We still call it the dead sea after 30 years , but now you can't even eat the fish you might catch .

 

[seachaser]

I eat just not every time

 

[seachaser]

But I will say a extra limb is not all that bad

Bass right now on lake are keying on real small shad. Throwing a white rooster tail worked best for me Sunday.

Is it actually that unsafe to eat the occasional fish out of Allatoona?

Everyone needs to look at the data, and make their own informed, decisions.
That said, I watched commercial fishermen pull catfish out of waters listed for PCB's. People eat them and don't even know it.
I eat what I want occasionally, and other than this funny tick, I'm fine, fine, fine.

Is this topwater action a day thing or evenings/mornings? Considering the drive tomorrow to check it out. Thanks.

2x as tarpfish say morning are best. The overcast days it last longer. As water temp get cooler afternoons will get better. I noticed this they are really pulling the water down fast so be careful
