Decided to fish over here, instead of Allatoona today. Launched and was fishing by 8:15. Since it had rained overnight, and was still very overcast, I wasn't expecting too much. Tried flipping and pitching the matted shoreline stuff for a while, but gave up on that fairly quickly. Once the wind started blowing, I picked this 13 inch one up on a spinnerbait.

Little further down the shoreline, I picked up this 14 inch one on a suspending jerkbait.

One guy I talked to when pulling out said it was a slow day numbers wise for him, but he did catch a fish almost 6 pounds on a weightless T-rigged worm. I kinda figured soft plastics would be the ticket today, but I am not fond at all of throwing soft plastics in the wind.
 
BassBoy, you did as well as I did on Lanier yesterday. I fished a tournament with my step brother and all I managed was two 14" spots, one of a white spinnerbait and one of a white fluke. Of the seven teams only two weighed in a limit. I think it was just a tough day in the Atlanta area yesterday.
 
those look like the same fish I caught out there during our tournament back in the beginning of April
 
I think I had both mine in the boat before BassBoy got up.

Just teasing ya BB. It kicked my fanny to roll out of the bed at 3:30. I'm not a morning person.

Nice job - but 8:15 am? You need to get out there for 1st light :mrgreen:
Well, technically the gate opens at 8. Now, I have snuck in there as early as six. However, due to a number of circumstances, I left the house before seven, and by 7:40, had only gotten a mile from the house... :roll: :roll:

Lets just say that when mom says there is enough gas left in the suburban, that means enough to make it to the gas station, not the lake, and apparently, there are no gas stations open before 8 on my half of town. All the rest are pay at the pump, and I use cash. #-o
