I did go to Lake Lanier. Spent lots of time on the water but not fishing from the boat. I preferred to fish from the their dock, on their cove. Baited with hotdogs, I went about my business of vacationing. Checked pole, removed catfish, rebait, cast, leave it. Repeated as often as necessary. Over the 5 days of continuous unattended fishing I fileted 28 catfish averaging 5-8# each. Cooked some and filled the freezer with the rest. They had a neighborhood fish fry and street dance. A good time was had by all. They have the best neighbors. I want to go back and fish like that again, no sitting in the sun, no wakes, dogs swimming around, clear-ish water, music and really good beverages. Lol.

How do you fish with those bluegill? Whole fish? Chunk em up? Bluegill are considered game fish in California, we're not allowed to use em in most places.

Prepared for tomorrow! Caught 12 bluegill for bait and caught 2 bonus large mouth bass, returned the Bass to the lake 8" and 11 3/4"...undersized and in Texas we may not use game fish for bait. Posting a pic. It is very hard to take a selfish with one hand and hold the dang stringer in the other. Lol.Second pic is my fishing shoreline...limestone slabs. The bass were caught on the same tackle as the bluegill, bobber, weight and #3 hook with a piece of worm.
Yep, retirement is being good to you. Good pics WH glad to see you are enjoying life.

Hi WK. I saw very few snakes around here this yr. The live one at the mtn lake n less than 5 on the roads. Talking about the fish fry remains me when a group of us would fish all night then have a neighborhood feast. Good job 👏👍
