Simple question...this time of the year are the shad and bass in feeder creeks or creeks running out of the lake? I know this may seem like a simple question but I never really see anyone specify. Got whooped last time I went out on Allatoona so I gotta change it up a little for this weekend. Thanks and God bless.

We have several members that might be able to help.

If were talking georgia this is my home lake and back yard

Yessir that's the one. I usually put in at Little River, but I've never actually went down it to fish, usually cut out and hail over to the S-curves and fish. But this time of year people talk about going into creeks to find the fish, but does it need to be a feeder creek or is any creek whether flowing in or out of the lake a good place for them?

From my experience stick to the major creeks on the lake . kellogg , stamp , etc . I have seen shad schooling in pods in the flats so my focus has been on jerkbaits , crankbaits etc . The water temp is still in the mid 70's so the lake is still active . As I am sure you know allatoona is mostly a spotted bass lake . Pick apart isolated cover , rip rap and anything that has current , such as creeks and river channels . I have even had some decent luck near little river . Dont forget now is the time for top water , buzz baits are starting to heat up , when the action dies down a little bit the drop shot bite  will definitely take over . Hit me up sometime we will drown some worms sometime .
