Gabowman, The first thing we gotta do is determine if the lake has crackers in it. Being in georgia I would think it did, but nothing is for sure. Have you heard of any being caught there? If they are, you can find them, if you don't give up. If there are any in there, and they are decent size, people will talk about them, as long as you don't act too interested, lol If you are trying to find them, the more poles the better, as far as fishing open water, on a hump etc. I will use three poles, and others use more. Anchor the boat front and back, and toss your baits in different directions, lay them down, and tighten up on the line a little. Remember that your bait needs to be on or near the bottom, and that goes for artifitial baits too. They will hit a white beetle spin with a red dot too. let it go to the bottom, and reel it in just off the bottom. Each body of water will have a certain technique that works good. The best guys to pay attention to, are the old timers. carry a pair of binocs, and watch others, to see what they are doing, and if they are catching fish. The best cracker fisherman I know does this. georgia is cracker heaven!
