Thanks so much guys for the warm welcome. We are so excited to get up there. Sept 14th is our closing date and we should move sometime that week or after assuming all goes well with the closing of our house down here in Ga.

You are allowed only one line with one hook or lure on it.
That was pretty surprising to me. I understand about the no-jugging rule - I grew up in Virginia and you couldn't do that there but here in the deep south these Georgia boys will line an entire cove with floating bottles or lines tied to branches. The one-rod rule seems pretty silly to me but whatever. Honestly I will probably just fish from my dock with a bottom rig or throw artificials from my kayak. I have a 12' jon boat too that I may get in on the mix eventually.


No1Son, I definitely hear you on the flood insurance. We're not going to scrimp on that. The house sits on a bluff about 50 feet above the shoreline so I think we should be okay - the home was built in the early 90's and has not had any flooding but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Man that would suck.

And about ice fishing, you don't have to worry about that for me. Remember I'm born and raised in the south....we don't walk out on ice LOL
