That is probably the most common way of celebration. Christmas certainly is a time with family. I feel for those, who over time, can not celebrate as previous times because of their losses. Holidays as such, that were family time, definitely become stressors.

Yes, my heart goes out to those who have lost family during the Holidays. In 2019, my sister-in-law fell into a coma after surgical complications the week before Christmas, and we spent the Holiday struggling to come to terms with what her quality of life would be like if we kept her on the machines. It was the most difficult decision I have ever been a part of. This is the first year we have decorated our house since.

I wish peace and joy for everyone during this season. Believe what you believe, and celebrate (or not) however you want to.

Curious question here for you non believers

Are the non believers afraid to admit to celebrating Christmas without the reason for the season?

I think more than myself would like to know.

Nope. I'm a non-believer, and I celebrate Christmas as a cultural holiday. All the carols, a tree, decorations, and time with family.

Where do you kayak fish

Lake Varner in Walton/Newton County
Bear Creek Reservoir out on the athens side of Statham
Charlie Elliot Reserve in Newton county are great places in my opinion for large mouth, hybrids and catfish

Thanks, mate!

Alligator at Carters lake north Georgia

That would be enough to scare me and my boat out of the water.

battery advice

The danger with a lithium battery is that when water and lithium combine it starts a chemical reaction that produces lots of hydrogen. Hydrogen is incredibly flammable, so Amy spark from the battery will start the battery burning.

If you are looking for a relaxing, peace and quiet places to fish, try a reservoir. I usually go to Hollis-Lathem or Canton Reservoir. There are no gas operational boats allowed in these reservoirs. You may not catch the fish you been catching in Lake Lanier, but you won’t have to fight boats and their wake either. You can google both places for information and location.

I appreciate the tip. When I kayak fish, I definitely want peace and quiet.

Recently switched out to a 100 amp lithium Using a 55 p lb transom mount motor. Only drawback is price. Weight is probably 1/3 and the battery itself will last 3000-5000 charging cycles and up to 10 years. Would make sense for a kayak w weight. IMO

I agree. The batteries are expensive, but worth it for the reduced weight and increased lifespan.

Favorite jigs for bluegill/sunfish

You don’t need to re-spool with 100% fluoro, just tie on a 10’ fluoro leader. You should be fine. It does disappear under water (per the experts).

Won't the knot catch in the guides or coming off the reel? I've never fished with anything but mono, so I've never tied a leader before.
