I live pretty close to both of these lakes and I am pretty new to fishing. I'm fishing out of kayak and just wondering what lures / bait you guys are using in either of these lakes and if you know of any decent places to go.

I am quite new to fishing and currently only have one rod and reel. Do any of you pre-tie your various rigs before heading out for the day? For example I may have my line rigged with a weighted texas style worm to start the day out. I make a few casts and decide that a drop-shot presentation may be more effective. It may take me 10 minutes to cut off the texas rig and then re-rig the line with a drop shot. Do any of you pre-tie these various rigs the night before and just simply make the connection to your main line with a swivel when it's time to change? Will simple practice make changing out lures and bait a lot faster negating the need to do any prep? What are some of your tips for efficient fishing, especially as it comes to changing up your various presentations?

I am brand new to fishing and recently bought a fishing kayak to get more out of this wonderful hobby. I live within walking distance of Lake Allatoona and have gone out only a few times in the kayak. I've also kayaked rope mill to the blanket's creek waterfall with some small fishing success along the way. I don't have much of a clue when it comes to fishing, but I'm excited to learn. What tips do you guys have for fishing Allatoona in a kayak?
