Lake Hartwell. If you consider that north Georgia.

Lake Burton, just such a great looking lake.

I fished Lake Seed and Rabun 2 weeks ago. Caught several but never really found a pattern or any big ones.

Fished Lanier on Saturday wth my nephew. Early in the morning we had some success with white spinnerbait and Yamamoto crankbait. Later in the day we landed some with flukes, jerkbaits, and buzz baits.

Got out on Lanier last week at the south end.  Fished with finesse worms texas-rigged on either a shaky head or regular weight and also threw a jig.  Saw good numbers of spawning fish (spots) back in pockets but couldn't grab one off the bed.  Best pattern I found was main lake and secondary points around brush anywhere from 25 ft on up to 2-3 ft.  We pulled a good number of fish out of stuff like that.  

 

Fish in my avatar is from Lanier and caught a good one of similar (slightly smaller) size out of the middle of a tree on a point last week.  Fishing is great there right now and I'll be back on the water as soon as I can.

Lake Hartwell is a great fishery! best population of Blueback herring in the southeast.

Its a great month to fish Lanier. The fluke bite should get hot soon

Absolutely April - Early June are my favorites on that lake. Although April was a little iffy this year with the weather.  Been fishing it with my grandpa for somewhere around 20 years now.  Never get tired of it.

Its Hard to get tired of the Lanier. I can't wait for the summer swimbait and topwater bite! Thats when the spots show their true colors.

Lake Hartwell is my home lake. I love it!! It does have a lot of blueback herring. I have been catching bass on topwater worms on Hartwell. Going this weekend with my dad. I will inform you.

Good luck....I will be in the area in June. I hope to maybe get a chance to at least wet a line from shore.

I need to get a little more active on here. As much as I love the Tackle Tour forums they are a little more about the tackle rather than the actual fishing. Lovin the fact that there have multiple mentions on Lanier on this site. I'm on the south end of Lanier, close to Aqualand, and always wanting to go fishing with new folks.

I'm on Lanier a couple days a week during the summer, so it will be one of my main topics on here!

Alatoona is my home good spotted bass population .The army corps are now stocking large mouth again.

Allatoona is my home lake as well. I fish the tuesday night tournament weekly. 

[speed craw]

God I would love to do those . Don't they also do that on lake acworth.

[buzzed bait]

i went to alatoona for the first time ever last sunday to a friend's place and took my kayak.  HOLY COW is the lake crowded and busy.  I'm sure Tues night is another story but I felt like I was on the Atlantic Ocean in a storm!  There may have been fish there, but I couldn't stay steady enough to cast let alone catch any!

[speed craw]

Where on the lake were you at?

[buzzed bait]

Where on the lake were you at?

 

Well frankly i don't know, it was my first time there and we were at someone's house that i had never been to before...  i'll have to find out.  I need to determine if the lake is worth fishing for me.... i'm moving to marietta in a couple weeks and it will be the closest lake by far.  other than that, i will have to start scouting some new places around the new house! 

[speed craw]

Allatoona is a good sized lake , pm me I will shoot you over some spots .

In blue ridge lake I've been catching them solid this year. They are tending to be shallow by docs on days when the water is cool and clear. If you can find a cove with some private boat houses on your boat you'll more than likely be right on them. Mostly I catch them on plastics. Which one depends on the clarity as it varies a lot. Since blue ridge in mainly trout fished thd bass seem to be super aggressive to anything. Even the bigger bass are coming on 3-4 inch worms which is due to the cooler water but if you hit the lake midday at it's warmest you can have a lot of success on plastics. A jig could also work because I think the bass might actually eat small trout.

Hope this helps anyone who needed some advice on blue ridge lake.

lake alatoona is a garbage lake. spots ckoked out the largemouth and all the dink largemouth they put in are only going to get a pound bigger, fished mondays and saturdays out there for two years. never caught more than fifteen pounds except for the spawn. absolute desert with a sweetgum brush pile every five feet

I just fished Blue Ridge last week. Senko around docks and shallow cover was the ticket. We caught some spots out deep on topwater and dropshot as well.
