That lake has some good fish in it. Has it cleared up recently. It was super muddy about a month ago. Line Creek is known to the locals for having good fish, so McIntosh is going to flourish as long as the it's there. Lake Peachtree should be up and going soon since all the construction is done but all the local ponds get a lot of pressure on weekends, especially Horton and including McIntosh. Guys have been posting lately about catching crappie and bass by the dam but that feeder creek (Line) is always a good starting point like you said bc you can work your way back down to the dock. I haven't seen gar anywhere in Fayette yet except Starrs Mill pond which is another great pond to kayak fish. Jist further down 74 and make a left on 85 and yiu will immediately see it on the left. Just watch out for snakes but you should do that at any lake. The gar has a long narrow snout and the pickeral is slimy but good eating. I have a couple vids of one here. I haven't gone to McIntosh in a month but you may have talked me into going Thursday. I was gonna go to Starrs Mill before all the vegetation grows back to punch and target lay downs but I've been itching to go back to McIntosh. Don't sleep on the idea of Kedron either. Not a big fish lake but def a numbers lake. My best day fishing was 2015 father's day from about 7am to 2pm. I caught a ton of bass on everything from top water to jigs to square bills to senkos bc the grass is good and the water was so clear. Nothing over a pound and a half but I've never gained so much confidence in all my techniques bc of the big numbers that day

Not sure if you wanted to single my comment out in front of everyone to say I'm fishing wrong makes you feel bigger and better but if you have truly fished every application in spinning first, you understand that when you pin the line against the rod and make cast constantly all day. The friction will eventually wear down on your index finger. Friction from line, which is sharp, whether it's mono, braid or whatever you use. Especially when you are bombing heavier baits or baits that you want to dive a little deeper, it happens. I'd really check myself before telling someone they are wrong or at least send a pm to ask me to go into further detail. But just flat out saying I'm wrong on a public forum when I'm genuinely answering from the perspective that they asked for is uncalled for. I dont mind someone saying they disagree with my perspective. Im fine with that. The philosophy that you have to fish may not be mine. But understand, I'm not wrong and that quote you sent isnt respect

I fished every application for bass on spinning gear when I first started out for about a year and a half. I slowly introduced baitcasting gear and had trouble with the transition and even swore to never use it again. But I again slowed into baitcasting gear and today I've phased most of my spinning gear out. My opinion is yes you can but it's easier on baitcasting gear. Truthfully, with a bait that you are going to be throwing a lot to search for active bass, spinning is fun but at the end of the day, your finger will be worn out from all the casting. You just can't bypass that hurt you get after 100 of cast when you have to hold the line to open the bail to cast. Just slinging that gear as far and as accurate as you can will have your index finger worn instead of your thumb from holding all your fish

Nothing wrong with TWS

Haha, nothing wrong with it if it catches! I watched the catfish episode last night and no senko were harmed in that episode...lol. Come back to south Atlanta to fish! Keep up the great work!
