Where are all the fishermen?

[Double_0_Rusty]

Where are y'all at? What do y'all fish for, where, any secrets to bring the fish in? Favorite way of fishing?

Catfish and Bass for me

Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair

Don't have any secrets, just SKILLZ. lol

Trot-line, Juggin' are my two favorites.

Pulled in a 38lb Channel Catfish and a 9lb bass last year, the biggest of all I caught in the last year. Will have pics when home PC is fixed.

Discuss:D

[eraser4g63]

I fish for what ever is there, I have a pond in my back yard that has some very aggressive brim of all things ( lol) there are a good many catfish and I will be stocking it with a little bigger game fish here shortly.

[On_Her_Face]

[BURRITO_mike]

I use live bait most of the time,and a 16 lb striper on midium size minnow thats the biggest ive ever caught, some two years ago.

[Paree4g63]

I've been fishing at a remote island thats part of lake lanier. All I have to do is cast about 10 feet on this one spot because it's hecka deep already after you see the rocks cliffs from the shore. 10-30ib stripers be hitting real good here and there right near the bank. I've just started using blueback herrings since its the best live bait to use. Minnows are a 50/50 given. I'd fish for anything that's worth good eating! Hit me up with some pointers and hotspots! I still can't seem to find a hotspot at Lake Oconee! No boat owner here!!

[GaGen2Teg]

right here!

i fish for linesides,crappie,catfish, i fish over here in acworth and go out to coosa river area

Catfish and Bass for me

x2

I prefer swim-bait fishing (for bass)

[schia89]

i like bass n crappie, i go to west point (i hate eatin fish though)

[allmotoronly]

I haven't had much luck at sinclair, only a few cats. Anybody know any good places on sinclair to try my luck?

[Double_0_Rusty]

Let's keep this thread going guys!

I've found that using the "back straps" off Gar, makes hella good catfish bait, as it's really stinky. Thats what I snagged the 38lb cat in with. I use alot of crank baits for bass.

As for Sinclair I never have any luck fishing, so I just jump in the pretty water and swim lol.

Hit up the river channels on the lake, and also the deep water near I-20 bridge are really good places. Ive fished out there every year. Put it this way, last year in the river channels, we brought in 200lbs worth of blue cats in a day and half. Good stuff:goodjob:

btw, I have a 14ft Jon-Boat for sale ;)

[DaX]

Trout. I like to get in the water when I fish! I fish mostly in NE GA - Warwoman area (Earl's Ford, etc), Wildcat Creek, and also like to fish on the Etowah in the US Mountain Ranger Camp in Dahlonega.

just got out with some one with a dept finder, and figure out where the channel runs. I fish bottom water as well, with cut-bait (shad, brim, minows, gar, ect). Can give my secrets tho lol

[ranger250x]

I mostly fish for bass. I'm about quanity not quality...lol. always catch and release. my favorite form of fishing is fly fishing. N. Ga, N.C. and tennessee are my preferred fly stream areas

[GIXXERDK]

There is a fish finder that is wireless specifically made for bank fishers. I saw it at BPS

[Double_0_Rusty]

No you'd need someone with a boat lolol

[88NaCivic]

HELL YEAH guys! keep this going ! I'm a fellow fisher as well. If it's bite'N I wanna catch it. Carps so tho. Anybody with photos of their fish? This is a redfish I caught out of Hilton Head a few years ago. Cut-bait on the bottom just like for a catfish. Around here tho I normally go to Oconee. Lets see some pictuers this is one of mine!

[Double_0_Rusty]

Nice fish dude, as soon as I can get my comp fixed Ill post my pics.

[iEvo]

shit damn

[88NaCivic]

WAs A nice catch! Biggest fish I have ever landed! It was Over 50" long and weight well over 30lbs.

[schpiel]

That is a massive red!

[dorin48]

I prefer the Gulf of Mexico for my fishing. Lived on the west coast of florida. The specialty of the house is sea trout. Fish that I have knocked off the hit list include...

Striper
Sm Bass
Lm Bass
Rainbow Trout
Carp
Red
Pompino
Cobia
Spoon sharks
Flounder
Grouper
Sheeps Head

and the list goes on and on.

My pops is a fishoholic so you can imagine what I did as a youngin. lol

[600 Double R]

im a bass and catfish guy. going to the lake allatoona this weekend. 5 minutes from my house.

[all-motorsol]

cut bait works great for cat fish and striped bass

they prefere blue herins.

bass fishing- use garys platic senkos (watermelon with red flakes or red senkos)
works the best in lanier.

hope this helps a bit.

hmm which island u talkin bout

[GIXXERDK]

I grew up offshore fishing, its too expensive now a days. I fish for whatever, trout, crappie, bass, stripers. Anyone want to trade honey holes? lol

[Allstar3.8T]

Only Bass for me, Tourney fish locally and won our series Angler of the Year for highest cumulative weight for all tourneys all year.

[DamnDisLaOsBoY]

i have been fishing like twice weekly this summer. Mainly for crappie, striper, catfish. but kinda new to stripers but i am starting to use blue back herrings. I hear they hit real good. also 8 bucks a dozen!

[Master Shake]

mainly largemouth and stripe bass. plastic lizards and worms are my preferred choice but i use jigs every now and then. i usually hit up the rivers or lakes around here. when i get the chance i love to go trout fishing. those little fuckers can be hard when spooked. i use trout magnets or flies for em. biggest trout caught to date was a few weeks ago at about 15 inches.

i try to stay where areas are covered with some trees and whatnot. use a lizard and get it to drag across the bottom with a little pop of the rod every now and then to get it movin. fish tear em up, lol. i also got this garlic dip stuff that dies the end of the lure a different color and puts a scent off in the water. i gotta admit though, shit works pretty good. i picked it up at wal-mart for a few bucks.

[khaxnguyen]

i dont have much luck because i usually go with loud people, but i will catch everything there is to catch.
how about we give out tips and hot spots--if it doesnt hurt your pride?

[600 Double R]

i went here to lake allatoona and caught nothing but a 4 pound bass all day. the lake sucks with no boat...

[Paree4g63]

hmm which island u talkin bout

co-worker of mines showed me this place. it's a hotspot during bass/striper season(april/may) but right now, there hasn't been any biting lately. Its located in Gainesville is where the island I go to is located.

You caught a striper on minnows? That's rare, isn't it? Herring is what I was told they only take. But if their hungry, I guess, eh?
