I got to fish some farm ponds with two buddies around Atlanta & Cordele GA the end of Feb & first of March. We had cold front conditions & lots of north wind. Best baits were senkos, flukes, rattle baits and wake baits. Our best day for numbers & size was with 10 to 20 mph winds. When the wind was blowing the worst we did best with rattle baits & wake baits fished on the surface or just below. This was my biggest for the trip.

now thats one healthy mircopterus salmoides floridanus

good fish Dwight, sounds like you enjoyed yourself.

Nice Fish! Just wondering.... have you ever cuaght a fish, smallmouth or largemouth, under 6 lbs? lol

Nice fish!

Hope KY Lake will produce some pretty little gals like that this year

Really nice fish.  Congrats.

Not to be a stickler but don't you mean north GA? Atlanta is north...

Either way great looking fish!!!

Yea mike but Cordele is 20 miles north of the Florida line.

Thats a hog Dwight! Wish the farm pond I fished produced like that.

I like how the sun reflects the yellow spots in that big girl.

Very, very nice!

Oh man I am jealous of you guys in the south.  NICE FISH!

You gotta love the souther farm ponds - there are some really good ones in my neck of the woods too!  Really nice fish!

Dwight, that's a mighty fine hawg you're holding, especially under the circumstances.

Cordele eh?

The watermelon capital of the world is on the same latitude as Montgomery Lake.

I'll bet George Perry's legendary bass crossed your mind.

When living in Georgia we fished Banks Lake a few times, it's a tad farther south near Lakeland.

It has big bass, big pickerel and is chockfull of cypress knees and lotus pads (blue-green pizzas).

You're a lucky fellow.

Banks is the only lake I've seen in Georgia, that could easily pass for a Floridian subtropical water (gorgeous).

Roger
