I fished an old under water road bed on lake horton in Fayette County on the south side outside Atl.

It was different from what Im used to seeing. Hot 90 degree summer day with storm clouds rolling in last Thursday from 5 til 9. The bass are usually deep but these bass were suspended at 6 or less ft in 25 ft of water on top of a 12 ft roadbed. In the middle of the main point of the lake.

I was throwing a norman dd over the road bed from different angles where I marked with a marker buoy to try and hit the road bed. Every hit was in less than a foot of water near the surface. Even got a pickeral that basically almost hit top water when my bait was on the way out.

But all around good evening. Nothing huge but it was good to get bit in the dog days of summer and figure them out.

Started out shallower at the pump station and rocks and fished the bank all the way to the road bed. After the road bed wheb it started to rain with about 40 mins of sunlight, the bass started hitting next to the rip rap on the powerlines along with the grass stick ups all the way back to the boat ramp

Lake Lanier is about 20-30 mins from Dunwoody depending on traffic, have you tried going there? Most of the public boat landings have areas around that are accessible to bank fishing. I see films doing it all the time.

Thank you. I've never tried lake Lanier but have always wanted to. Has anyone ever done any bank fishing there or at lake alatoona which is about the same distance away?
