WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE BASS FISHING FORUM

Welcomr aboard. But if you move to Cherokee (I'm in Bartow), that largemouth only slogan will change. The lakes up thisaway is notorious for spotted bass.   Think Lanier, Allatoona, Carters...

Yeah, I fished for spots on Lanier in late December with a buddy who knows the lake real well.  First time I've ever fish for bass in 35-40 feet of water....needless to say, I didn't do well.  We have some friends on Altoona, so we're up there a lot.  Maybe you can which parts of the lake are best for fishing.....thx. - MH

On Allatoona, my favorite spots are at the mouth of Stamp Creek, or McKaskey Creek. Also the bluffs at Bartow Carver park, close to Illinois Creek. As for Carters Lake, I haven't had many bad days there at all, and IMO it is the most beautiful place on earth. Fish are everywhere in it, if you know spotted bass fishing you can do ok-good there. As for Lanier, I'm skeered to put my lil' bitty 14fter in a lake with 3' waves, ESP. trying to fish the main lake points that are so productive in the summertime.  : I only go there in the late fall, and I haven't been enough to call myself anything close to good on it. Allatoona gets beat up in the summertime, too, but I know where to go and when to stay out of trouble. There are other guys on here that fish around here alot, and they can probably give you more info than I can.
