I've gone out several eves this week and trolled along with minnows and jigs and caught only a few small bream . The water temp is 88 degrees and rising . We haven't got into our hottest month yet . I can't wait for October . What is the best way to catch crappie when it's this hot ? It is very difficult to night fish here . The mosquitos eat you alive no matter how much repellant you have on . Driving up to your lovely state sat morning for a much needed vacation . I hope I can get some fishing in . I will have to get a new ultralight rod as mine is somewhere in the pond . I got distracted and set it down only to have it snag a cattail on the way by . It was too dark to find it. I'll try fri morn to locate it. Later , Chris

Hello Chris, Papasage. Know what you mean. Hey Chris I thought I was the only one that lost their rod and reel, Guess not.Hope you get it back like I did. Good luck on your vacation, Hope you catch some slabs. Try night fishing, Bugs might not be so bad in north Georgia. Papasage, Glad you have your motor home going. Went to wall mart today and bought a new salt water open faced reel, Had a new guide put on the tip of my salt water rod. Getting geared up for the red fish and speckled trout in september, Can't wait, Love that action . those red drum can pull like a train, You got a fight on your hands. Good luck to all and Gods Blessings. Jimmy S.

I'm gonna have to try for some Blackshear Specs this fall.

Last week one fella reported he caught 121 two handed brims at Lake Miccosukee, down about 20 miles from me in Fla. In the AM, he said, and also he said he got some warmouth and a few shellcrackers. There are some who fly fish there at night and get the big ones.

I have been real busy at work, and with this heat all day I just wanna escape it after work. Been working through weekends lately.
So many cabinets to build, so little time to do it!

Fall will see the weather right for fishing!

Man Blindhog, You make my socks run up and down my legs like window shades talking about those big brim and shellcrackers ! I can't hardly stand it. Boy would I like to get into some like that.In due time. In the mean time stay cool. Papasage, I hope you had good luck today. Good fishing to all ! Jimmy S.

Hello Georgians , I just got home from a 6 day vacation in your lovely state . I fished a few hours at Lake Blackshear when I was at Veterans state park . It was very hot and I was fishing from the banks the few times I got bites the jet skiers would come by and the fish would turn off for a while . So I switched locations and went up by the entrance and caught a few bluegill . Then we headed north to Helen . I fished the Chattahootchee for trout . I didn't see any fish there at all or get a bite . Went up the road to Unicoi state park and fished lots of laydowns . I didn't catch any crappie but I did catch a few catfish and an alligator snapper . I finessed the turtle up on the bank so I could get the hook out of it . Those are extremely rare here in Florida so I didn't want to harm it . The mountains in N. Georgia are beautiful . We had a great time . Chris
