During late September I will be visiting North Georgia, and I am interested in spending a day or two of my vacation fishing for bass. Living in Florida there is no shortage of lakes and I can simply visit google maps to find a spot to fish and take a quick 10 minute trip to get there. The problem is I am not too familiar with Georgia and its waters. I certainly don't want to waste a day looking for somewhere to fish when there are folks out there who are willing to share the secret spots. Another issue is I will be fishing from the shore exclusively. I would need a spot that has public access. 

 

Any residents or folks that frequent that area know of good day fishing spots that I can shore fish from? I would be much obliged if someone could share a lake for my girlfriend and I to have a nice picnic and maybe land a catch or two. 

 

thanks,

Wormi

What part of N Ga?

Yeah if you specify exactly what part of N Georgia you are talking about you might get some decent spots.

What part of N Ga?

 

Honestly anywhere within an hour or two drive of Fannin county. I guess that could land me in Tennessee or North Carolina as well...

 

I'll be staying in Blue Ridge and McCaysville. 

well you have blue ridge lake right there where you're staying so that's a place to start.  never fished there, but a few google searches should get you going in the right direction.

Vogel State Park would be my suggestion. Excellent bank access, about 40 minutes from Blue Ridge, and they have boat rentals. They stock the beejeesus out of it with 9" trout during the offseason...so there are some big LM
