Fish-on Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Try a deck boat, good for both cruising and fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzone1 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 you don't hear the banjos until you get up around Lakes Raybun, Chatuge, or Burton. Blueridge and Blairsville is the big city up yonder ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzone1 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Blairsville and further South down to Mt Yona and up and over to the west toward Dillard in Habersham County is some pretty scenic country. I love it up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubble Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 You will love it up there. We go to Hiawassee, GA every year and stay on Lake Chatuge during the North GA Mountain Eggfest (In May) at the North GA Mountain Fairgrounds. Awesome place (fairgrounds and campground). If you like to camp, that's a great place. It's out on a little island. Lot of activities at the fairgrounds. Close to Nottely and Lake Burton (Saban's Lake Home). Have several friends with Toons. A couple have Tri-Toons with 300s +. One cruises at 50. The other can top out around 65. Great platforms for about everything. When we had a camper at Kissimmee, the Older residents traded in their bassers for Toons to crappie fish. What a great way to chase Crappie. We had to run from Tiger Lake to the big lake and one of the old times got tired of the long run in a pontoon with a smaller engine so he went Deck boat and hated it because it wasn't as comfortable but it got there quicker. Those old guys would love the newer tri-toons. Best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kos Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Blue Ridge is midway between Lake Nottely and Carter's Lake in North Georgia. Both are great striper lakes if you decide to find some big fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a friend that lived in Cartersville many moons ago that said the LM and SM fishing was good in the N GA Lakes but my Dad went up there with him and they didn't do well. I think they went to Nottely and Chatuge. The lakes look deep and clear with lots of rock and tree structure. We've spent time around Chatuge and never see many people that look like they are bass fishing. Have seen some boats trolling around which might indicate Striper or Walleye.

Striper and walleye are most likely what they are targeting. That or large brown trout... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never fished those North Georgia lakes for anything but striped bass, so I can't really comment on those fisheries. If I'm going to trailer up there to fish, it'll be for the stripers.

justfish Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Beautiful place. While I was growing up we frequently visited two uncles one on lake Oconee and one on Lake Hartwell. Both always had a bass boat and pontoon boat. We had tons of fun tooling around the lake and tubing and even fishing off em. Seems like a great option on those lakes up there.

Foulhook Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 We have a tri-toon in the family and love it. I never thought I would see myself on one but now I love it. Just got back from scalloping and it was like scalloping out of my living room. Ran 18 miles each day in the Gulf. Tri-toons handle a chop really well. I've also fished for snapper out of it on some wrecks in Tampa Bay. My wife doesn't want to be on my flats boat anymore, spoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More alone trips, more fishing time, more quiet time not a bad thing!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
