    Default GA/FL Crappie fishing


    Well I finally made it to So. GA. Just started the new job and will have to go to Tallahassee for a couple months. The office in Thomasville wont be open until Nov. Looking forward to working in Thomasville. Its a little hot for me to be out on the lake and Im sure the skiers and tubers are still pretty active. When it gets a little cooler I will be ready to learn some new waters. I think im within a couple hrs of Seminole, Talquin, Blackshear, and Eufala. I understand these lakes are not having the asian carp problems that we have had in western Ky. Not sure which lake I will start with but hope to learn a little about each of them.

    Welcome to Georgia...it can be hot like this till November. Usually its starting to seem like Fall, but not his year.

    Fish are biting on Blackshear despite the heat. I see one or two water lice on Thursday and Fridays when fishing, I don't know how bad it is on the weekends.

    Seminole and Eufaula is on lakemaster. You will need navionics for talquin. Seminole and Eufaula are on navionics but are not as good as lakemaster. I have never been to blackshear so I don't know about it.

    I Navionics and have no issues with it on Blackshear or Eufaula...both maps would be better if I would get around to updating it

    I have two Lakemaster SE map cards but they are back in Ky with my other boat. I will probably get Navionics so I can use both if needed. Is there a specific card I should look for? I know the Lakemaster is broken up into regions.

    You want the South Region...which I think the basic Navionics+ starts at $149.

    Also go to this page, I use it to "scout" new water at home and also look for new spots in lakes I fish regularly

    Welcome KFC. Like Dutch said it has usually cooled off by now, at least a little bit. This is a very unusual year. August is our hottest month and it has been hotter in September than it was in August. August was mild compared to a lot of years (it was still in the 90s almost every day with a few 88 or 89s thrown in.) Normal for Georgia in August is pegged 95 to 103 every day. You suffer in the summer but the winter and the springs are great. It is beautiful most of our winter. It doesn't really become winter until January. I have worn shorts on many Christmas Days. You will have to go to Lake Oconee a few times and admire the million dollar houses while you catch big crappie. We were wearing the crappie out trolling in February one year and these very preppy and very rich thirty year old couple were having their friends over for a picnic with the wine and cheese and the whole nine yards on their dock and they watch us troll back and forth catching crappie one after another. The guy’s statement to me on one pass where we had on five fish at time made me laugh so hard I lost a fish. He said “we didn’t know there were fish in Lake Oconee.” I told him there are all kinds of fish in the lake and that he had bought a house in a very good fishing cove and I told him what to buy to fish from his dock. He was nice and seemed interested. Good luck fishing and I think you will like it here.
