D.J. Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 It looks like I will be going to Atlanta in late June, early July. My wife is being sent to a chef school for a week. I have always wanted to go there. Can anyone lead me to some bass fishing down there. The problem is I probably won't be able to bring most of my stuff, if any. I might try a guide or something like that. Any suggestions about lakes or guides would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 DJ: If you can get to Lake Lanier (just outside ATL), you might be right at home fishing there!!! Drop shot is the technique of choice during that time of the year. Just find some structure in 20-30ft of water and you WILL catch fish. If I lived closer, I'd come up that way (I'm about 4 hours from Lanier). I'm not sure about guides but I am sure you can rent a boat. I'll get some more info (maybe some gps points ) and PM you later this month!! Jim PS There is a nice Bass Pro just north of ATL also...bonus!!!

D.J. Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Thanks for the info. It looks like I finally get to go to a Bass Pro Shops I'm not sure if my savings account can handle that trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonezBaitCo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 D.J. Lanier is a wonderful lake and yes, you would be right at home. I have a guide I have used for several years and he is most definitely the top guide for spotted bass on the lake. His name is Ryan Coleman and his website is www.lanierspots.com. He is 1st class and your experience will be well worth the money!! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 DJ,if you would like call me when you get here.I am 1 hour from Atlanta and be glad to wet a line with you.No need for equipment. If you want to do Lanier,we can either go or I can put you in touch with Doug "Dr.Spot" Youngblood. www.fishlanier.com He's as good as they come,Doug is a close personal friend of mine and owes me a couple favors Only draw back to Lanier in june is the stinking boat traffic "and I mean big ones"and personal water craft.Good technique in June is call them big spots out of deep water with a Sammy or Spinnerbait. Second best option is lake Richard Russel.I have had two magnum spots over 6 pounds last year and this year.Boat traffic is not an issue. Anyway,we would love to have you down. Blades PM me if interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
