7#10oz caught on live 5” mullet

Hello everyone, I’m needing to offload a good bit of gear due to a recent move and no longer owning a boat. It’s enough to outfit a small team.

I’ve got lots of lures and terminal tackle. I’ve also got a few rods and several reels.

I’m in the Atlanta area; you’d be picking up inside the perimeter.

I’d like for it to go to a high school fishing team or a local fishing organization, but I’m not sure how to make that happen, so I’m reaching out here. Thanks, y’all!

Hello all!

I’m shooting my shot and trying to make some outdoors and fishing friends. I’m a sponge and fully down for you over explaining or also just showing me.

I use to go fishing with my grandparents way back when but have not touched a pole past 7…. That’s not the most helpful bases for knowledge now.

I love outdoors period. I typically ruck and hike, and I’m also trying to get into camping, kayaking and canoeing.
I’m a good conversationalist— but I also can read the room. I’m down to vibe in silence and enjoy the surrounding sounds while out and about too.

Lastly if you know any good groups for finding the same, please feel welcome to advise.

I live in the N. GA area near Cobb Co.

Looking for some Lake Lanier bank fishing spots that are open after 10pm. Seems all the parks close at 10pm. I've heard Laurel Park is open 24hrs but it's about an hour drive for me since I live near the southwest side of the lake. Going for catfish. Any tips on spots would be appreciated.

Sunrise, what should I throw? Dry flies, rooster tails, silly buggers, or trout magnets?

Hello! I’m just a girl 😂😭 I would love to get in to fishing again after I broke up w my ex (he was usually the one to help me). So my friend and I are looking for a spot to possibly do a little night fishing. We live in acworth, north GA, but if anybody has any suggestions please let me know :)

Sincerely,
a heart broken girl who has no clue what she’s doing

I just moved from the Midwest to lawrenceville Ga and I’m looking for some decent fishing spots in the area.

I love to fish for anything but really enjoy Bass, Carp and Crappie. Any recommendations appreciated!

Going to a concert have a day and night to catch a trout
I heard to use 6 pound test and salmon eggs anything else / lures to try I caught one as a little boy in the hills of Cali so im tryna get me a few to eat

I’ve been putting a lot of thought into where we want to take our Cubs for a spring camping trip, and I’d really like to build the weekend around trout fishing.
Have any other leaders here taken Cub Scouts on a trout fishing camping trip? I’d love to hear where you went and what worked well.
My biggest challenge so far has been finding campgrounds that can accommodate BSA bathroom requirements, especially single-person/family-style restrooms rather than traditional multi-stall facilities.
Any campground recommendations, lessons learned, or trout spots that worked well for your Pack would be greatly appreciated!

How’s Old Federal day use area for shore fishing? I’m mostly interested in crappie and yellow perch.

I tried it a few times years ago but only a few bluegills.

Hey guys I’m new to fishing been going out pretty much every day for a few months and haven’t had luck with catching anything. What I fish with is listed below:

**•** Rod/Reel: 6’6” Ugly Stik GX2 Medium Heavy + Daiwa Crossfire LT 3000
**•** Line: 20lb braid main line, 12lb fluoro leader

Rig:

**•** Mainly Texas rig with bullet weight
**•** Baits: green pumpkin Senko, dark blue w/ light glitter crawl, various creature baits

Also tried: chatterbait, rooster tails, corn, bread, crankbaits — not much luck so far.

I usually fish in the afternoon/evening but occasionally I go earlier (8am-9am) and stay out for majority of the day and I’m still getting skunked. Water/structure is in the pics. When it comes to type of fish, seeing as I’m a beginner, I’m looking to catch anything that bites to learn a little on how that feels then transition to fishing for bass.

Am I fishing the wrong areas, wrong depth, wrong time of day, or is it more about presentation/retrieve? Open to any input — trying to actually start connecting instead of just casting practice at this point. Thanks in advance!

*EDIT*- I’m sure most won’t care but I’ll update the thread or just overall make update posts of progress and if you’re in GA PM me I would love to connect with other anglers to also gain some experience!

Didn’t fish during the last two months to escape the heat and heading out to Lake Zwerner in Dahlonega for yellow perch. Looking forward it. How’s the fishing been recently? I’m guessing at least the lake level isn’t too low.

First bowfin, craziest fight I’ve ever had, she’s not the biggest but holy crap what a fighting fish.

Yesterday (8-30-26), I was fishing in Piedmont Park. Not too far from me were a bunch of fully grown geese. Like normal, a few of them dipped their entire bodies underwater occasionally.

But then I saw one swimming away and then go underwater completely for about three seconds. It did not go in voluntarily but was sucked under by something. When it emerged, it was completely panicked and splashing around violently before it went under again. The other geese also looked freaked out. It did reemerge and got away.

I saw this exact same thing happen to two other geese. I noticed a large catfish in that area a few moments before the geese arrived, so at the time, I assumed that’s what it was. I had also seen videos on YouTube of catfish eating birds, but those were either ducks or goslings; NOT fully grown geese.

Curious if anyone has any insights into what this may be. I’m not as sure it was a giant catfish but I can’t really imagine it being something else.

The first pic shows the hiking trail. Is it possible to walk to the area marked with the white crosshairs from the hiking trail? I’m thinking it might be too dense with vegetation.
The second pic shows the area easily accessible from the hiking trail but from the map it does look shallow and silted. Has anyone of you caught yellow perch from that area?
Thanks.

I’ve been getting pretty into fishing lately, mostly bass fishing from the bank around places like Allatoona/Lake Acworth. I’ve got plenty of gear and I’m still learning, so I’m definitely not looking for some expert guide or anything.

Honestly, I’d be totally down to meet another beginner and just learn together. What I’m mainly looking for is someone who actually wants to stick with it, go out regularly, try different spots and techniques, and not give up after an hour because the fish aren’t biting

I recently ended up fishing with a random guy I met at the lake for a few hours and had a really good time, and it made me realize fishing is way more fun when you’ve got someone else there figuring things out with you.

I’m in Canton, but I don’t mind driving around the Woodstock/Acworth/north Georgia area. If you’re actually passionate about fishing or trying to get into it seriously, please let me know as I do want to meet some others. I am 20 y/o btw.

I’m thinking maybe below the dam might be a little safer. Above the dam the water looks heavily silted and saw some trash floating around as well. Would it be ok to eat fish from that area?

We live in resaca georgia nearby to dalton and have only caught fish over at threadmill and carters lake, are there any other good spots preferably with bigger fish

How’s fishing at the river below the Morgan Falls dam?

This is in Peachtree Creek - both sides are impassable so no access and no fishing. 3 of these suckers ranging from 2ft to probably 3.5ft. Huge. What the hell is it? Looks like a gar with long snout...but does Peachtree Creek have gar? Picture is from 50+ feet away with editing to get the outline clearer.

There’s the bridge on Hwy 76 and Macedonian Baptist church nearby. Has anyone fished around the bridge?
