I have had good luck with jigging spoons by casting to my maximum distance
and stripping out line to count down the lure to the depth I want then slow
bumping it back to the boat. It works much better for me than simply trying
to jig it vertically. .

I got my January GON today and it has an article I wrote about Jan
spots at Allatoona. I think the best bet is to fish a small jig and
pig or Texas rigged Finesse worm on steep rocky banks - they are all
over the lake. Fish those bluff banks real slow, hopping the bait in
little jumps that follow the bottom down. That is what most of the
Allatoona guys I have fished with up there do this time of year. Also,
jigging a spoon under the balls of shad works good - bass may be down
40 feet so fish deep!

Ronnie,

Thanks...I'll look for that mag..for two reasons!! I have a letter to
the editor in there! I haven't been able to find it yet though...found
some December issues but no January! My last trip out I found some fish
under those balls of shad trolling...got 2 spots and a Hybrid. I tried
jigging a spoon under them but didn't have any takers. I wonder if I
dropped a white Senko through them If I would get bit???

thanks again for responding
