Decatur? Any ponds you fish around there?

pancityhanman reply :

i have fished a couple ponds in clayton and henry co. no gas motors. i have a ranger so all day with the trolling motor is kind of a pain. good ponds though big crappie and decent cats, have not done a lot of bass fishing in these ponds as of yet.

Helluva_Engineer reply :

Kennesaw checking in. Haven't had much of any time for fishing this year.

JWOA reply :

Let me know when you guys want to go,,Im always ready

pancityhanman reply :

i want to fish full moon tomorrow night at jackson. crappie fishing under the bridge just in case it starts sprinkling. only about a 100 yard trip from the boat ramp. last full moon caught about 75 lots of fun.

birdoflight reply :

mbalaban reply :

Hey folks! I live in the lawrenceville area and am fairly new to fishing. I started about a year ago with my ex-wife and her family but have become limited to bank fishing now. I am pretty close to Lanier and go up there as much as I can but get a bit frustrated because I'm limited to the banks and I've not mastered the baitcaster just yet. Hopefully one day I can get out on a boat and have more fun and success, as well as learning more and making some friends.

Michael

pancityhanman reply :

yea mike the stripers are biting pretty good last few weeks. i went out Wednesday and caught two in the 10 lb range while bass fishing.the only thing is you have to chase the seagulls around to find them. the bass fishing has been pretty good too they aren't hitting topwater that much but spinnerbaits cranks and texas rigs have been deadly lately

mbalaban reply :

10lb'ers, that sounds like fun! Mike, I'll be happy to make that trip with you if you have a seat open

basshole8190 reply :

Whenever you get ready for your trip down pm ill give you a heads up on what's hot what's not on the lake i fish at least 2-4 times a week i live on the lake

river is decent put in at yellow jacket but use caution waters getting low or head mid lake around the marina plenty of loons and gulls around there i caught 13 today in the rain an wind nothing real big about 8lb was the biggest use a bama rig big lipless crank or mid depth crank around the gulls river channel or humps the bridges have been holding mixed stripes and green bass

mbalaban reply :

When out with Mike to west point yesterday, got on the lake a little later than we should've (1030ish). Birds were swarming pretty close to yellow jacket, caught a good one probably 9-10#, but lost it trying to get it on the boat. Had a few more hits but couldn't get anything to stick. I would like to go back and try again.

basshole8190 reply :

Went out today on west point with my father in law caught 22 total all stripes and hybrids biggest was 13 lbs all caught on jerk baits and flukes it rained on us pretty good so we packed it in earlier

mbalaban reply :

22? What were we doing wrong? What colors were you using? Where were you throwing? What kinda technique?

basshole8190 reply :

We put in by the marina and went to the pumping stations and the stripers had shad everywhere so thick you could walk on them we caught 12 there went back around the corner to the mouth of yellow jacket and 100's of seagulls gave em away we caught 12 there and lostquite a few couldve caught more but we left cause my fatherinlaw got wet and cold

all were caught onjerks and flukes fluke with a 1/32 weighted hook in arkansas shiner and pearl chartruese and jerks were ayu color sexy shad black w chart head or red head they wanted it jerked then paused all hit on the pause

pancityhanman reply :

jerkbaits and flukes packed up for next trip. was mostly using topwater last trip and was a little late i think. did hook one good one down deep but snapped 20# line halfway up. going earlier next time. thanx for the info.

GoneFishi'n reply :

I might be heading out to Lanier on Sunday. Any tips? Where should the fish be holding?

Yea as long as water temp doesnt drop much the hybrids and stripers should still have bait pushed up around birds or off main lake coves that have deeper water at the mouths. If temp gets below 50 youll have to downline live bait

pancityhanman reply :

any live bait available out there, besides bass minnows? any places that sell shad or trout? thanx

no hammonds here hudsons pro shop highland marina and a few gas stations sell minnows

live trout is prohibited to fish with here. i dont know of anyone who sells live shad, theyre hard to keep alive but a cast nnet and good graph will yield more than enough shad . or hudson sells bass size shiners which are around 4-7" and a good alternative to shad and easier to keep alive

pancityhanman reply :

thanx basshole for all the info. thinking about this weekend if weather is not too awful bad. let me know if you are gonna be out there. tight lines! mike

basshole8190 reply :

Lol you need to layer up thermals sweatshirt wind or rainsuit wool socks and hot hands are your friends this time of year. thatshow i keep warm. nows the time to get a trophy stripe and maybe even some monster largemouth

pancityhanman reply :

spose to be sunny tomorrow, gonna give it a whirl i think. tuned some jerkbaits for the slow death sink. they should be still suspended , like to hook a big nasty one.

basshole8190 reply :

Yea I've heard bama rigs have nabbed some nice ones around yellow jacket bridge. the weather wiill be much more favorable too

pancityhanman reply :

didnt get out today but gonna go tomorrow, last good weather before next week. hope to do well

basshole8190 reply :

yea i might get out there myself tomorro but i think im gonna chase the green fish with the weather looking better. maybe go out on saturday after the rain and try for some more stripers tho if im not working.

pancityhanman reply :

where do you put in at? i may do a little hybrid fishing myself. starting with stripes though. jerkbait and live bait tomorrow

basshole8190 reply :

I put in at mcgee bridge park off vernon ferry rd

My house is less than a mile from it. its at the mouth of yellow jacket and by the marina plus its free to launch My father in law wants to fish the river too so I'm not sure what I'm gonna yet. live bait swimbaits on jig heads and jerks should catch you some

pancityhanman reply :

basshole8190 reply :

basshole8190 reply :

Yea mike thanks i might take you up on that plastics offer. we will definately have to get together on west point sometime

basshole8190 reply :

Ok sounds good man thanks

I'm thinking about going out tuesday or Wednesday

do a little bass fishing and a lil striper too

pancityhanman reply :

i was thinking about those same days myself. having trouble with the mount on this new motor. release is very sticky straight out of thee box. mounted it today and is less sticky, but still not right. guess i may have to shim it some. last one was ok.maybe i can get it done tomorrow and be ready for tues oe wed. seats are another story, getting my bench out looks like no fun at all.

basshole8190 reply :

Yea good luck with the seats. from what i hear the stripers are still running pretty well

the lake is still pretty full only about 3' from full pool bass has been hit and miss i hear not on a real definitive pattern right now. I've been on the the river a lot lately so I'm only going off reports and what my buddies tell me.

pancityhanman reply :

gonna try to get out there wednesday depending on weather. if it looks good, i will pm you my number and bring a bag of stuff with me , maybe we can meet up. whatever you dont want just pass it along. would like to see it get used and i dont have enough decades left to do so. LOL thanx,mike

basshole8190 reply :

Sounds good mike

basshole8190 reply :

Hey man i fish harding on the bama side, lake oliver, and goat rock unfortunately i don't have a boat so I'm hoofing it

basshole8190 reply :

Yea i know how that is. i sometimes fish the banks and leave the boat at home. never fished goat rock a buddy of mine says there's a lot of gar down there. One weekend if you get a free day you should head up to lagrange. and we can go out in the boat.

Joe Schmuckatelli reply :

shoot yeah man i know guys that will swim across the river with rods and reels under the dam to catch those monsters and sell them locally, I guess people eat them. I caught one on a small swim bait I just shook him off the hook.

basshole8190 reply :

I'm a swimbait junkie dude when the bite is on ill skip work just to catch em. i always just throw them back in. i love catching those big stripers in the river. I've heard of people keeping them and selling them.

basshole8190 reply :

Hey guys i got out on mlk day to fish a bit and it was a tough bite out there. no one was catching much. i hung a few small fish and a decent stripe but the bite was really inconsistent and i believe west point is expereincing a turnover from the below average cold temps. Hoping by February everything straightens out and we get a warming trend to get those fish moving towards the spawn

hey man welcome to the forums. west point, while its pretty big its not overly hard to navigate. we don't have big waves like lanier nor the boat traffic. it does get busy during the warmer months but not too bad. I live on the lake and its really productive for bass from late february to november. its not overly grassy or anything but it does have some vegetation. its got a lot of rock and structure that is prevalent but also has a good shallow bite around docks and blowdowns. last year was the first year we've had full pool into late summer and fall and it fished much better this year than years past.

ill send you a pm with more specifics on the lake an my number. maybe we can link up and bust em during pre spawn and spawn this year.

basshole8190 reply :

Got out today for a little fishing mainly to test ot some of my new swimbaits. Didn't catch any but had a magnum sized spot follow a 8" glide to the boat but didn't commit. and had two hits on a 8" rising son tophook but lost the first fish and didn't connect on the 2nd fish. so ready for the water temps to come up to 50-55 so they'll get a little more active

oh man, some 50 degree water will be nice!!!!!!!! i have gone 3 times in January and not caught the first bass. granted fishing slow is not my #1 skill... i am so ready to see it warm up a touch and get the bite back on.

basshole8190 reply :

Yea I'm not much for slowing down myself. but I'm getting better. the water temp was 39 last week but its rising fast we have another cold snap coming thru end of this week that'll drive the temp back down but by the end of the month the water temps should be up in the 55 degree area and that's when the bass here get hungry

basshole8190 reply :

The rain has the water pretty muddy on the lagrange end of the lake yellow jacket and whitewater are pretty dirty was gonna go out and try myself but i gotta work tomorro. I've heard bama rigs have taken a few but mainly its been vertical jigging spoons over fish on the bottom. jerkbaits may work. water temps are still around 48-50 degrees. give me a call if you make it down this way

I'm a hb guy. that said my buddy's lowrance structure scan is far better as far as composition and definition. but i like the ease of use of my hb unit i had. I'm still researching for boats to buy alumacraft seems to be the front runner with a 90 hp jet .

I fish West Point all the time. Its about 45 mins away for me. I usually put in at Highland or Horace King. How have you guys been doing there lately? I went last weekend and managed a few but they were all pretty small.

i live close to mcgee bridge access by highland i haven't got a boat right now but I've been out in my kayak a few times recently and managed a few decent 2-3lb largies with a shakey head and a few small spots. the weather won't stabilize long enough for the bass to get in a good prespawn pattern. the crappie on the other hand have been pretty predictable and are on timber in shallow coves

Ive got the big bass splash on Guntersville this weekend but after that we should get together one weekend when you are free and see what we can find on WPL...man I would love to get into a big school of crappie. What are most people catching them one, jigs or live bait?

yea man definately we should. a majority of my crappie have been on jigs but people seem to be catching on minnows.

sounds good horace king is probably better its closer to crappie or a few pre spawn coves for bass

pancityhanman reply :

fished saturday night and caught 30 nice slabs. got there late and fished the bridge, shallower areas were taken or would have done better. minnows did us right. going this weekend again and will be a little shallower this time and hoping to do well. eric if you wanna fish, give me a call with your schedule and we will try to hook up, think i am going to give the bass a little time for temps to stop fluctuating. mike

Krossthread79 reply :

Im new to the site and fairly new to fishing. I live in the south fulton area and have been fishing little ponds in my area and Coweta County. I have been pulling lots of small bass out these ponds so my confidence was sky high.

I recently decided to step out and try a public reservoir in the Douglasville area (Sweetwater Creek Park). I have went out 3 weekends in a row with out a single bite. Just cant seem to find the fish.

Anywyay im looking for some diffent area to fish so I can logs some more hours on the water and a fishing buddy that loves to be on the water as much as me. I dont have a boat so I have been casting from the bank and renting small fishing boat with trolling motors.

If anyone has any information on locations or just want a fishing buddy dont hesitate to contact me.

Columbus checking in. I fish goat rock when I take the boat out and beat the banks of the parks and water sheds in town. Pulled a couple out of Cooper creek park yesterday swimming a T rig rage craw.

GodfatherOfSeoul reply :

SW Atl checking in! I usually fish the smaller reseviors (less than 1000 acres in a 12ft V hull. If you want to come out or trade info, PM me.

Would love to get out on the larger lakes too. My first time on a bass boat was last fall and its got me in love with all the space anf convenience. Def in my dream book for the future.

God Bless
