Those 250 Yamaha's will drink 25 gallons per hour at wide open throttle. That plus the oil would kill me.
I have a single 250 and it will go through a 60 gallon tank of gas and a 4 gallon tank of...

I did not get to go. :(

Cyberwraith45,
I certainly appreciate the advice. I have never fished the north end of the lake. I will let you know how we do.
Thank you for your help.
Jim

Thinking about giving it a shot this Thursday. Anyone been lately that can share some info?

I got a call from a friend this afternoon and he said he did well in the Victoria area in 15 ft of water over brush.

Let me know if you need someone to fish with. I'm fairly new to Allatoona and still learning but I'd be up for some nite trips if you have an extra spot.

Depends on how far into it you want to get. You could tighten the two nuts on the inside of your boat and use 5200 to seal the outside up. It goes on like caulk or silicon. Use a putty knife to...

I talked to a gentleman this afternoon that has had good luck trolling small crankbaits as well as jigs for Crappie. I did not get a chance to ask what type. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Jim

I would also choose the Lowrance H2O.

Fished Allatooona today with a good friend and his 2 1/2 year old son. This was a first time in the boat,first time on the lake, first time fishing, trip for the youngster. He kept saying...

We may try on Sunday. What part of the lake were you fishing?

If I were buying a new one I'd get the LMS334C by Lowrance. It has the built in antenna. Definitely get the LEI Hotspots chip for it also.

I've been waiting to hear about Allatoona myself. Every day I have had off has been too windy or raining.

Sounds like a good trip! Glad to see some Alatoona action posted.

Might try next Thursday morning. Any ideas on tactics or places to try would be greatly appreciated. Jim

Thanks! We had a great day just being on the water. I put 4 gallons of gas in the boat and should have put 20. It was a great day for just sight seeing from the water. :)

Fished from 7:00 to 11:00 this morning. Lake was socked in with fog until 10:00. Water temp was 65-66 degrees.
Launched at Blockhouse and fished the bridge pilings under I-75.Water was 24-32 ft...

I've heard people call them marshmellows too. I use them a good bit.

If you have electric tilt you can use it to get out of the water. Hug that motor and hit the switch on the outboard, it will tilt you out.Won't be comfortable but it could save your life. Also in an...

Look at the E-tec Evinrudes. That would be my first pick. I was in a similar situation 3 years ago. Choosing between a 40-50-60 merc or 40-50-60 yamaha. 2 or 4 stroke. I went with the merc 2 stroke...

Thanks for the contacts.

I have a boat I need help rigging. Its got an older Evinrude 225 on it. Does anyone know a good mechanic?

Fished from 4:30PM - 8:30 PM. Launched at Blockhouse and ran to the pump station. Lots of fish on the fishfinder but nothing biting.
Ran to the Railroad bridge around the concrete bases.Same story....

If you need any help setting them out let me know. I run a 17 ft. center console I could stack a few of those in. Jim

We didn't go. :( Hung a new storm door and cut down some trees. Maybe next week! :)

May get to fish tomorrow. What would be my best bet for Allatoona? Thanks for any tips or advice. Jim

We are in GA now.I hope some of you can check out our old spots. Be sure to let us know how you do!

I've seen it on TV and the magazines but never trolled for anything other than way offshore in the Gulf. Whats the best way to go about rigging a 17 ft. Carolina skiff for trolling for Crappie?...

We struck out. Not a single bite. The Georgia Crappie don't like our south Louisiana jigging style. Of course we went in the middle of the day and the lake was like a washing machine with all the...

Family is well !! They were far enough west of the storm to be safe. We live in Powder Springs so Allatoona is going to be our new "home" waters.
