Took a trip to the double secret fishing hole close to the Little river (ya have to go threw 2 gates to get there, hence the double secret) with the neighbor this morning. Brought home 15 nice eaters. Casting my Brimfisher underspin heads with an Acid rain grub, rubbed with Slabsauce. Picked up a couple nice Bluegills too.
Old Charles Salter, who wrote the fishing column for the Atlanta Journal, (back when it was civilized) used to call these spots “Lake Private”.:fish. My paranoia of water moccasins kept me from going with him much. Oh that was 30-35 years ago, I guess.
You’re right…they are MOST peaceful and no drunks or craziness anywhere.
I liked your post and the memories of a more civilized time in Georgia (just memories here from an old man)
been in there a bunch of times . last year i was going in there and ran up on a stump and busted the shift dog . then several trips a berring went out . got that fixed my knee went out to a point i can`t hardly walk . going to get it fixed 12 th of Feb.
Love your report and pics, thanks. My kind of place, away from the usual places and Delberts who if they see you ketchn in numbers come crowding around you. My buddy has a boat set up for those places, lives in central florida yet hasn’t found any quiet places there like this. Love the LONG cane poles and thanks for info on how you rig them.
yes depends on depth .and how fast your retrieve is . was doing that and catching and another fisherman was watching me and not catching in the same spots i was . he said you are realign slow but that was what they wanted at the time .
