O.K. maybe a little harsh, maybe in my ol' age have become a little less tolerant, for me I enjoy reading this forum, have gained a lot of good info. Really using this for my base of what I want to accomplish with my "lake". Really have no particular issue with anyone, just when I read some posts,"and I read many", my first thought is "that's a bit harsh", but at the same time can see the connection between you guys and for me see you're kidding each other, that being said maybe I was off base. Will not leave this for will continue to read, pot some and ask questions. My lake is located in Harris Co., Ga about 5 miles from the Chattahoochee river 10 miles SW of Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga. Knew when I bought this property, was not as advertised as for fishing. Same pond management guy has been handling since inception, and eventually cornered him last month on management, and goal for this lake. he is on board on what AI want to accomplish, and 1st of year will start drawdown, add gravel, and structure. He said when lake was built appros 15 yrs was worried about depth but contractor was looking for every bucket of dirt possible for dam.
So now really have very few good areas for BG bedding as all of pond is deep slope from edge to w/n 6 ft of bank to 8 foot. Abundance of very small bass, 51/2-10 1/2 pounders being caught and released almost no 2-4 pounders.
Sorry for the Rant, right now lake looks like a Georgia mud puddle, last week Columbus, ga surpassed the wettest year on record.
Thanks guys, will try to be more tolerant, and less critical because reading here made me realize "my lake ain't what it should be".
Thanks Again,
have lots to be thankful for entire family from all over US here for Christmas, so really a good year.
