Kayak bass angler from Gray, Ga. I love bass fishing rivers in middle Georgia.

Brian Barde I got lost following someone who thought he knew where it was located..lol him and I were both were a bit confused..

It is..! I think they see so many chatterbaits and not many good old spinnerbaits... I started using the minnowz as trailers about a year ago and now that's all I use..

Yes sir..! 19.25", 5.43lbs.. in a small cove, or "pocket" off the main lake, on a wacky, next to a laydown...

I never, NEVER fish docks.. I always skip them and fish the bank, laydowns, bushes over hanging the water... AND I'm more of a river angler..but I have a 2 championships coming up and both lakes, Lake Oconee and lake Sinclair, are known to be "dock lakes"... so I've been out there skipping wacky worms under the docks that I can get one up under, and am pleasantly surprised at what I've found under them..!! (Brian Larimer, that's a Bassmooch worm that I won at our lake Russell championship this past March !!)

Brian Barde, at the championship this past March at Lake Russell, you and I were the last ones to get to the awards afterwards, soak-n-wet from the rain.. .. I remember just getting there about the same time you did.. lol. (Just thought I'd tell u that..lol)

You guys have fun, too far for me to travel with my older truck... I'll wait and see everybody at the championship next year..!!

I fought that sucker for over an hour, couldn't net him, couldn't get him in the kayak so I had to drag him back to the ramp ...it was after dark when I finally was able to get my chatterbait back... so, about a 2 hr deal... smh.

Brian Latimer ok, cool.. I'll have to schedule a coaching call cause I have a championship coming up on November he 8th at lake Oconee.. it's right above lake Sinclair... actually there's a dam between the 2 lakes.. they are "sister" lakes..

Exactly what I was thinking.. but I think I'm gonna launch from another ramp... I can't figure out which ramp I want to launch from, I've only been able to afford to try 2 so far, and I caught 2 at each ramp.. I need 5 big ones.. it's been really windy both trips, maybe the fishing will be better when it's not so windy.. being that windy, it's really hard to fish docks out of a kayak.. and from all the research I've done, this is a dock fishing lake... championship is Nov 1st, so I have a little time left to try another ramp or 2..
