Great..Just what we need, more rain

[Dutch]

Just looked at the weather report on NOAA. Heavy rains predicted for later tonite and all day Thursday. Doesn't look like we are going to catch a break in the weather this week. Lately it seems to rain ever 3-5 days, if it keeps this up the lakes won't clear. At least it won't be raining Saturday, so I can go fishing.

I hear you dutch....I guess this is spring though. Or at least there is always potential for these rains during the spring. I love to fish the South Georgia rivers, but it seems like every spring, the water is always too high for me to fish them till May. But maybe this rain will help the crappie population next year though. Since the muddier water may decrease total catches while the fish are most vulnerable, the fish may get some more quality spawning done. But like you said....I'm still fishing, mud or not.

Went and looked at Lake Juliette on my lunch break. Still fairly clear at lower end boat ramp. Went to upper end and was pretty darn muddy. Lots of boats at both ramps for middle of week. Something must be biting. Saw couple boats tied up in the standing timber at the upper end but didn't see any fish coming on board. May be the only slightly clear water in GA right now!

Shinerunner, keep me posted on Juliette. I have had pretty good numbers from there before. Like to fish it due to the size of fish and motor restriction.

Twogunkid,
where do you do the best on Juliette? I haven't had much luck catching crappie there. I can catch a few but never any numbers. I can catch a mess of bream or yellow perch, but not many crappie. Maybe I see you and/or Shinerunner out there...I will be in a 16' Bass Tracker w/ a Black Lab riding shotgun in the back. He loves to go fishing as much as I do.

Believe it or not I have caught good numbers in the first cove on the right at Holly Grove boat ramp. A lot of bankers fish there. Has good standing timber in the middle and shallows all around the cove...I also have done well in the first cove to the left of the ramp..You might also try going down the lake to the second big cove to your left...Lots of trees but go all the way to the back of the cove, as far as you can go. troll in 4-6 ft of water. Kinda hard to troll due to the timber so i usually pitch jigs or minnows....Pretty much all the coves will produce this time of year...They used to allow night fishing but a couple of weeks ago I saw a sign saying fishing was from dusk to dawn. Because there aren't any docks on the lake, or lights at all I did super!!! They came to the lights like I was giving away money!!!Good lake to learn.......Beware.....They have alligator size striper there that will take a rod quick....over the past years I bet I have pulled up a dozen rods that I'm sure stripers have taken...Good luck
