First off, I really miss bank fishing the thousands of lagoons back in my old stomping grounds of Hilton Head island and Bluffton, SC.

 

My hotel is on Lake Oconee (19,000 acres) so most of my fishing was there this year. But I recently got a house on Lake Sinclair (15,000 acres) so that will be my primary lake.

 

But this year I also fished Lanier, West Point Lake, Keowee, and Hartwell.

 

Next year I have plan to try Clarks Hill for the first time and I'm tentatively planning to enter the BASS kayak tournament on Lake Murray. 

Life long Joisey guy, fish most of the lakes, reservoirs and rivers here  and some up in NY state.

Also have this rather large body of water off the shore here, though not fishing that as much as I used to.

Been restricted to  kayak fishing now for 20 years after having various boats from 12' to 23'.

Cracked me up when I went up to the Adirondacks and saw the the ponds up there were bigger than most of the lakes here 😀  

Rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds, all within 3 hours of Richmond, Virginia.

Learn to fish jigs in rocky areas in the lakes you fish. Read my horizontal jigging article.

Thank you sir, may try some of this tactic this weekend. I’ve never fished a jig with the reel handle unless I was swimming one thru grass 

I have two lakes that I fish regularly.  One is a little over 50 acres, and one is about 3,000 acres.  Then there are 4 more that I fish several times each year that run between those two sizes.  And then there are probably another 30-50 lakes that I'll hit up once or twice a decade or so in all various sizes.  I like a healthy mix of familiarity and surprise.
