Double uni works well for me so I stick with it

@scaleface beer time

It was a good morning on The Hill yesterday. The bass were healthy and the grass plentiful.Best 5 went 11 pounds. The water temperature below Russell Dam was 77 which was 3 degrees cooler than main lake.Don’t know if this pattern will hold until your tournament in two weeks but hope this helps. Sent @Koz the pics

@Koz a 101 scorcher on The Hill in a kayak. The buzzards will be circling.

Eatonton and Millegville Ga. Are 2 of the hottest places on the planet with humidity if you ask me.Im going up below the Russell Dam on Clark Hill at 1st light and fish the grass for largemouth.The high tomorrow is 79 with winds around 7mph.the water has been cooler lately as they’ve released some water.

1.1972 as a point guard got ball stolen after a double team, chased guy to goal , went up high to block his shot under goal, he double pumps and his shoulder throws my body up under the rim and I land head first on wood court floor.Ambulance ride to hospital saved from seizure and head injury. 2.1982 one year after active duty in Marines was run off road and I wrapped my Chevrolet pickup around a pine tree, my head went through windshield, woke up after surgery in VA Hospital saved by Navy surgeon. 3. 1999 Survived Non Hodgkins Lymphoma on spine, had complications in hospital. 4.2014 slipped on silicone on metal roof , fell off roof and landed on concrete retaining wall, barely missing my head and shattered my hip.Had hip replacement after that. 5.2021 developed pneumonia from complications from Covid but survived. 6.June 2023 had 4 level lumbar fusion.

Depth and temperature

Old school all the way

I use a 2 foot leader around rock and wood and a 3 to 4foot leader in and around grass.3/4 to 1/2 oz. Bullet weight with a bead and a barrel swivel . I don’t have a problem tying 3 knots because when they get on it I fish it all day and don’t want line problems

I’m frying bass I caught yesterday at Sinclair for supper tonight. So there’s that.

I would go way north of Pelican Pete’s There’s a nice ramp behind Gainesville Methodist Church with close access to Wahoo Creek and the Chattahoochee River. You can go south under the Highway 60 bridge and fish a lot of good points and coves until the traffic runs you back North. Good luck No weekends for me

School is about to let out for Summer and when it does the southern end of Lake Lanier is going to turn into Lake Ociener.Pleasure boats and jet skis galore.I’d advise you to go try the north end and learn it.Largemouth can be caught back up in the River and creeks as well as Spots. The Spots will make you work for the Largemouth but you can catch them once you find them. Fish the red clay points with rock on them all over the lake and every shoal marker you see.Be careful out there this Summer, it gets rough. Also it’s wort trailering up to Laurel Park to launch.Big mega ramp that’s no charge.

I don’t turn mine off until I get back to the trailer

A skunk is not catching any bass to me.

My point being that they ain’t going away

If they show up in your lakes and you catch one, you might as well get used to em’.

Time to get that boat so you can throttle down and high tail it outta there to another area down the lake to catch bass.Same thing with catching dink Spots on our Savannah River lakes, you gotta keep moving to find the bigger fish.

Went to Russell yesterday, I caught 8 Spots and 1 largemouth.my partner caught 3 Spots. The Cicadas were covering the woods like leaves on the trees. Had one hitch a ride on my spinnerbait back to my boat.the carp and gar were cleaning up on them on the surface. The loud singing was nonstop all day long.Never heard anything like that in my life.Sounded like something out of the twilight zone.Just crazy is all

I fish a Zoom Speedworm year round mostly the smaller one. After the spawn I like the magnum better. Can’t go wrong with either.

Big Game on all my baitcasters. i prefer Suffix or Sunline mono on spinning reels.
