So I'm attempting to convince the fiance that me getting a jon boat would be a good thing for fishing small ATL area lakes. I may actually be winning the argument. Anyway, if I did move forward, I'd want a boat with decks and pedestal seats. Are there any jon boats that come new with this configuration, or are my only options to modify the boat myself, or find a used boat? Just trying to see what options are out there...

So you know which lake I'm referring to? How low is it now? Wow...let's just say I had no idea the wooden boat docks by the baitshop were on 15 ft pilings. You know the second roadway that crosses the lake? The one not being repaired? The shallower section off the main lake on the other side of the road is totally empty. And the ranger I talked to said they still need to lower it a lot. At this rate, we can catch bass with our hands But yes, it's a great time to get some idea of the structure in the shallow parts of the lake since there's no water covering them. I'll be doing that this weekend. There's a ton of tire piles by the bait ramp. When I was there last, I saw 3 or 4 schools of shad getting torn apart, but no takers on my Fish Head spin.

One of the few lakes I've found by home that are close enough to hit after a day of work has been lowered quite a bit in order to repair a bridge. I've never exactly torn them up on this lake, but it's close and it fits the need when I need to wet a line With that said, what approach or changes should I make when fishing a lake that's been lowered a good bit?
