I'm thinking I'll be able to get out tommorrow afternoon for a bit, anywhere close to locust grove or mcdonough area?

Well I got out for about 4 hours on jackson lake, fished from 1-5, didn't catch anything. Lol   These Georgia bass must not like hoosiers. Great looking lake, lots of creek cut backs and great cover with lots of wood and rocks scattered throughout. Tried working pre-spawn staging areas like points and deep mouths to coves and creek channels. Threw a Rat-L-Trap and a football jig for a bit then switched out the Rat-L-Trap for  3/8 sexy shad color war eagle spinnerbait, slow rolling it deep. Regardless it was a calm 65 degree day in the kayak, not even mad.

Better luck to you local fellas, if I get the chance to come back down to Georgia again and fish I'll hit you all up again, until then I'll catch ya round the website.

sorry you didn't get on any good bites man, but that's been fishing for me lately....  i went out on saturday to a new place i found just south of the city.  like you said, it was an awesome day on the water in my kayak!  marked some bait, marked some fish, but couldn't get much commitment.  i landed one from about 8 feet of water on a crankbait, lost another on same crankbait in about 8 feet of water.  also had a nice thump on the jig in about 12 feet of water, but missed the fish altogether.  the one fish i did catch did not put up a fight of any kind, felt like reeling a stick back in.

nice day out though.  if you're back around in warmer weather i think you'd enjoy the fish you could catch down here!  good luck back in Indiana.
