Allatoona Fishing Report - Spotted Bass

I caught 6 spots this morning at Red Top Mountain State Park & had a great time doing it. The morning was beautiful, and there were gobs of fish shallow for the spawn. The biggest was about 3 lbs; I was throwing green and blue flake flukes and a Sammy.

The Hobie Outiffter pedals are amazing. The kayak was lighter than usual today, and much faster... b/c I didn't bring the 5 gallon bait bucket - filled w/ water. I just zipped around close to the landing and had a ball.

I took lots of great pictures with the camera, but left the memory card at home! Oops!

Lake Lanier Striper Fishing

Dad and I went fishing in the kayak yesterday and he caught this nice striper and spotted bass in shoal creek. The striper took a blueback herring fished under a balloon. The spotted bass took a jig and fluke. I also hooked a big striper w/ a fluke but it broke the line.

Sail Bag Donation

Today (Saturday), I tried out the new kayak for the first time. I put in at the back of a creek and fished almost to the main lake. I pulled up to a dock, and sat on it, leaving my feet in the kayak so it wouldn't leave. Then I took the sail out of its bag and put the bag next to me (on the dock)... and sailed off into the sunset. I will probably never see the bag again; maybe next time I fish lake lanier I'll go looking for it. If the owner never uses his dock, it could still be there. Oh, and I didn't catch any fish. But I did see lots of them on the fish finder... does that count?
