Where are the Georgia members

[qball]

Kinda quite wondering where's everybody at.

[r ward]

Well I live in warner robins but if you look at the member map you will see a few of our location I was wondering where they all were at this past gathering

[qball]

Well I had plans with some family members this weekend and stayed there all weekend. I would have come up and meet everybody. But if I didn't have plans I would have. It sounds like ya'll had a good time.

[Gator]

Henery we are still here just working our tails off as I know you are.

[Cathooker]

I live near Summerville, Ga. I usually fish the Coosa River and Lake Weiss but this year I have not wet a line yet. Between my business and my Dad's illness I just cannot get time to go....I am goin nuts!!!! Maybe, just maybe I can slip away this weekend.

[r ward]

It might help the stress to get away if omly a short time then let us know

[qball]

Hay I know what you mean I'm going to forsyth for the next to weeks to teach. By that time I will be ready to go the river to relax. And don't really car if I catch anything but some peace and quite.

[DavisBoy]

I've been reading..ok I've been lurking in the shadows AND reading the forums for a bit.

Finally registered after I told my old man in Arizona to get on here cause theres some great info and I want to do some catfishing with him next month when I get over there.

So HELLO. :big_smile:

[qball]

Welcome to the BOC its good to see more Ga members on board.

[Snappy]

wow, great to see posts.

[qball]

Hay I know what you mean.

[r ward]

Welcome daviesboy tell us a little about you

[DavisBoy]

Watcha wanna know?

Live in Gwinnett Co...moved here about a year ago.

The hooch is right around the block so I bought a beat up 14' jon boat to relax and fish. (not very relaxing getting in and out of the water since I have no trailer yet and getting it in and out of the truck by myself isn't all that fun..dang thing ain't light)

Not much up this way on the river cept for trout though.

Haven't really done any strictly catfishing since I was a kid..maybe 15 years ago.

But I do love to fish, camp and 4 wheel. Like I said, bought the beat up boat last month and a couple years ago bought a 30 foot travel trailer (yeah I know not too hardcore but it's the only way the little lady will go camping with me..with a built in toilet and a shower..ROTFL...but I won't complain cause she stocks it with food and keeps me fed while we're out and it's fits the two of us plus 6 kids)

So now I'm looking to start getting around some of the lakes and do a little fishing and maybe start hunting again next year.

Read about your gathering, and actually wanted to go and tried to plan around to do so, but the schedule didn't allow it.

Anyways here I am finally chiming in, hoping to meet some people to hang out and fish with.

[Foxhound]

Any of you guys ever fished Union Creek off the Savannah River? Its tidal affected but appears to be loaded with blues and channels. Been doing a good bit of scouting around in that area and catching a lot of fish, nothing over about six lbs. Im sure there are big fish in this creek but just havent targeted them yet. Gotta wait till Im not loaded down with grandkids !!! Mine dont have the patience to wait out the big boys !! This place has catfish wrote all over it.......but I never see another boat in there except for an occasional bass fisher or bream fisher.

[Gator]

I have never fish there but would like to one day.

[qball]

Like to get on some blues or chanl. Haven't really cault any in the altamaha with some size to them.

What do you teach, qball?

[cherokee laker]

Hey Qball, I went Saturday morning, and back Saturday evening and back Sunday morning, in the Hughes Old River............I caught a mixture of Bream, Shellcracker, Warmouth and even 1 White Perch on Pinks.
I also caught a few channels every time..........the largest was 14 lbs....he gave that Zebco 33 a run for it's money....

Have you ever heard of a "shoehead" cat??

hersch

[BamaCats]

any of you Georgia guys ever fish Lake Eufala? I am thinking of making a trip over there in July. i know the cats over there are tearing it up just have to remember that one side of the lake is alabama and the other is GA.

[qball]

Hay laker me and my little girl when friday to morgans lake. We were catching a few mostly just getting out and sending so time with here. I have to tell you she loves going to the lake and river.

[Gator]

Bama I have never fished it but heard it was good.

[smackover]

Had too much work to do

Missed the spring fishing

Maybe try some cat jugs at Clark hill after the 4th

Used the BOC Library for Jug plans

made several

Can't wait to try e'm out

Can anybody suggest a good jug bait for CH ?

Smackover

[Snappy]

Small live bream are awesome for jugging @ C.H. You will catch some gars, but they are still fun to chase down. I made a small minnow trap out of wire, but in some bread, in an hour or so you'll have half a dozen or more small bream around the 2" range.

[smackover]

thanks for that tip

it's a 3 hour haul from PWW to the Hill so keeping bait alive might be a problem for me

surely will try that when i have a couple of days there

any thoughts on a good bought bait ?

Have fished in Union creek.

Even caught a few cats on worms when pitching for red breast and brim .

Smackover

[Crash]

I live in Atlanta and fish EVERY night when the wife and kids go to sleep!:smile2:

[Snappy]

Hey smackover, I have done some research on the trap I mentioned in my post. I don't think its legal to use bream for bate unless they are caught on rod a reel. Just a thought.

[FROG]

I was searching to see if some members were near the Dublin Laurens county area ?:confused2:

[cherokee laker]

Hay laker me and my little girl when friday to morgans lake. We were catching a few mostly just getting out and sending so time with here. I have to tell you she loves going to the lake and river.

Did you put in at Morgan Lake or go down from JC, Qball?
Did you try Lake Bluff?

herschell

[qball]

We didn't fish lake bluff we mostly stayed in the back lakes. I was draging the boat for about an hour trying to get to horn lake. But hay it was a day on the water with my little girl.

[Cathooker]

I lived near Lake Eufaula for four years. We never fished the main lake for cats. We fished the river just below the dam. We would catch shad up against wall at the locks, then move out into the current and using the motor to keep us barely moving would drift slowly down river. We caught quite a few in the teens and twenties this way. That was 25 years ago tho.

[catfishtonyd]

I'm from north ga. Not a far north a Summerville but above atlanta. I usually fish lake lanier.

[fireball]

I am from emanuel county. Big howdy to everyone.

[spinner cat]

hey catters,
what happen to everyone talking on here. the river is low and a bit of a challenge getting up and down. but the fish are still biting.I usually fish the altahama around the tattnell and long co. line but moved down last weekend all the way to barrington ferry the river is a little deeper there and bigger than around jesup but BEWARE so are the gators and thunder storms. I was in the worst storm ever there friday night, SUNK THE BOAT the fishing stopped and I got out a.s.a.p after getting the boat up floating.but there were some guys fishing around jesup said they caught three flatheads 30-15 lbs.

[catcam]

Spinnercat, sorry to hear you sunk your boat..glad you got it upright. That storm was pretty bad, I think I drove through some of it on my way up I-16 in the moving truck. I drove a 26' moving truck in that rain! Not sure what has happened to the GA members, we post here and there. I use to spend a lot of time on here, not much anymore. I'm up on Decatur now and fish lake Oconee mostly.

[r ward]

If you check you will see me on here or in the main part at least once or twice a night to the new Ga members welcome keep watching for info on ga gathering for next year

[spinner cat]

hey catcam,
glad you made your trip o.k.. we had a little fishing tournament friday so I was going for the big one . I made it back to the landing but the bilge pump could not keep up and down she went. luckly I pulled the boat up far enough not to sink the motor. so did you get moved? just because you went north (aint) ha!ha! a reason not to keep in touch. I will keep you posted on this end and maybe you can do the same on your end. good luck with the lake and finding all those hot fishing spots . BE CAREFUL O.K.

[Bobby Parker]

Spinner cat, we need to get in touch with the guy called Gator. I think He's from our area. Maybe he will see this post and give us a shout. Cat cam, I hope all went well with your move. There's nothing worse than moving. See ya'll later!
God Bless
Bobby

[r ward]

Hey Bobby if you send Gator a pm he will answer but yes he will also check in here sooner or later

[Bobby Parker]

Hey man how's it going? I'm new to this BOC, but I think I have to post 10 messages before I can send a PM. This will get me one closer. Have a great day.
God Bless
Bobby

[r ward]

Bobby be sure and get on the Ga map so we know where you are if you read the post marked hey Ga members it will explain

[spinner cat]

[Bobby Parker]

I tried to get on the map last night, but never could get my marker to show up, Maybe you can get with me at work next week. I guess your probably fishing right now. Leave me a post tomorrow and let me know how it went. Watch out for the lightning!!!

[spinner cat]

hey qball,
man I was about to think most people had quit on here. you been fishing any? I was thinking we would run into each other sometime on the river. I am going to start fishing a little more down toward jesup.I love catching them big flatheads on a SPINNER.hopefully more folks will be on here since the river is getting a little higher.

[Bobby Parker]

Tony I just got home from Church and got on here to see how it went last night. Did you go? Lets here a fish story. I got your PM but it wouldn't let me send you one back. I didn't have enough post. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
God Bless
Bobby

[Bobby Parker]

Hey qball I'm pretty sure I know you. You might recognize me if you seen me. I live over in Ludowici. I think we used to run in some of the same places years ago. Me and RD used to hang out, but not in a long time. Somebody introduced me to you not to long ago, but I can't remember who it was.
God Bless
Bobby
