Hey Guys, Our local Georgia DNR is trying to pass a very cool project for us here on Allatoona which is located just North of Atlanta. They want to install a string of Hydroglow lights on one of our bridges for angler enjoyment. Without retyping everything I would like to ask if you guys could help us out by signing your name to a post in support of this cool project. Hopefully if this is as successful as they think it is going to be maybe other area lakes will take note.

here is more info and the link which includes some pics of what they are trying to accomplish. I hope this is OK with the moderators that I post this link. Please sign your name to this post. If you have any questions there is another post to ask any questions you might have.

Welcome back!

Where have you been?

It appears that only GA residents are elligible to help with this project. If that's the case, I think we should move this to the "Southeast" section, but I'll wait to hear from you.

This is Mikes post. Mike, I am just afraid that you wont see the participation if folks have to sign up to reply so I am posting a copy of the thread here and they can reply here also.

Fisherman and Fisherwomen, I had a trip with Jim Hakala the other day and he told me about his plan to put quite a few hydro glow lights on the bridge supports of Bethany Bridge at Red Top Mountain. He has his proposal written but wants to put the icing on the cake showing public support for this project. If this project is successful we would be like one of 2 in the US with this type of setup. What I would like to do is to have everyone that is in support of this project register on our site and post your support so Jim can print it out to add to his proposal.

If you have questions PLEASE start another post on this forum.

If you are not familiar with hydroglow lights they basically attract baitfish which in turn attracts game fish ie hybrids, stripes, spots, crappie, catfish etc etc. Here is there website for more information. Please feel free to post this link so that we can garner as much support as possible to insure that it gets funded..

Here is a picture of one of the lakes with the hydroglow system setup. They lights are rigged to where they are very difficult to tamper with ie (theft proof).

Roadwarrior, any support is welcome ~~ I just need some names so that when our DNR goes to get funding he knows he has the public behind it. Could ya pretty pretty please leave it here ~~

BTW, I'm here just been busy fishing and brushpiling. Lots of work LOL. Thanks for noticing I have been gone. I will make it a point to stop in here more often. LBH, Well this project is going to cost 15K. Soooo it's not a slam dunk by any means. We are trying to get the County (Chamber of Commerce) to pitch in. The lights will be a great selling point to our local tourists. Especially Red Top park which the bridge in question will be used for the lights.

BTW, If you guys would sign it I would be so grateful  You DON"T have to register just post your name and that you support the program.  No email no phone number just type your name and that you support the idea.  No strings attached.

Here is the pic from the post

That is awesome. I would bet the striper come in after the shad under those lights. I would love to give it a try! RW or LBH, how should I go about signing? I love to add my name to a project that supports anglers.
