Southern Georgia Lakes?

Pwrighta1 has it right. Stay in Florida. I am two hours from Lake Talquin and four and one half from lake George. Given equal distance I would Go to Lake George. Large numbers of very large fish. I know I am subject to being stoned. However I like lake George that much. Lake George Information Guide - Florida Lakes Get a good topo map and a decent fishfinder and fish the end of the old piers. Hundred years ago steam ships would on/off load at the piers. The end of the piers were dug deep to accomodate these ship. Find these deep areas and fish them. Good luck.

Thanks Arcadiainc. I'll have to try Lake George sometime. Just getting started again fishing after several set-backs. Really would like to target Crappies which is why I'm here with all the great info, clubs, and tournaments!
I've heard about these pilings from reading some older posts. How deep are they at the end of them? Can you see them sticking out of the water or are they under the water and prop killers?
Thanks for the info.

Hope the below link works. It will answer most of your questions. It is a thread on the Florida board concerning Lake George.

Great info on Lake George! Couple of novice questions I hope someone can answer...
Can you buy grass shrimp or do you have to catch them?
If you have to catch them are they present all year round? What type of grass? Hydrilla maybe?
Can you fish inside this bombing range or are F-16's going to start dive bombing? :) It must be unrestricted since I have never heard of any active navy practices going on there?

Anyone fishing Lake Seminole? Are the Crappie bitting? Best locations in relation to Southeast AL. Thanks for any advice.

the bigger lake in So Ga is Seminole Lake George and Blackshear . . Blackshear is a small lake but can be productive in cooler weather . summer time ain`t bad but you have to fish early after 9:00 or 10:00 am the pleasure boater get out and the lake gets choppy

Speck-tackle-er, Lake Seminole is about 30 minutes east of Talquin, It is a great fishery when you learn it. Just find the big brush piles off the river ledge, the fish should be there. It is most likely still flooded or at least still muddy from all the rains. The Flint river side should have some clear water in it.
