North Georgia Lakes??

[LewisBrookshire]

Planning to take the family up to one of the NW Ga lakes this Friday to spend the day fishing, picknicking and hanging out? I have never fished any of them (Lake Blueridge, Seed, Rabun, Notley, Burton, Carters). It will be bank fishing as well as fishing from a Canoe. Any suggestions??

I live on Lake Blue Ridge. Fish for small mouth bass, spotted bass, bream/bluegill etc in the day time, walleye at dusk and after dark...also plenty of catfish moving into the coves at night. And don't forget the trout streams...plenty of them up here as well.

I would love to get some Walleye, I have been told those are the best tasting of fresh water fish!

This is a nice place. Heath Lake would be good for the canoe and the other lake is good for bank fishing.

I love to fish Carters in the winter. It has some big Stripers in it, and if you are into green fish there is some massive Spots, and walleye as well. I'm usually fishing rivers in the summer so I don't know the patterns on Carters in the warm months. But, I will warn you most of the banks on Carters are very steep. If you are primarily fishing from the bank Carters is probably not your best bet.

Expect to see lots of people. It's the busiest lake day of the year. Really early in the morning will be your best bet

They are good! Just don't pull them in by the lip like you would a bass. They have teeth like a freaking barracuda.

Chatuge is my favorite of the mountain lakes.
