March 2 - Well, I have been trying to get out everyday but the weather just is not cooperating. David Duncan and I were going to go fishing today, David said it was going to be an OK day and I thought it was going to be another wash out. I got up at 4:30am am, had some breakfast, packed up my rods and started out to the Bait shop. When I got to the top of the hill, the Dawsonville Hwy, it started to SNOW. I tried to call David but didn't get an answer so I kept going. It got so bad that I could not see more than 100 feet in front of my truck. Tried to call him again and again but no answer. I got to the Bait Shop and went inside, got a cup of coffee and started to talk to John Bowen. By this time the snow was blowing sideways and the flakes were the size of a nickel. Finally I tried to call David one more time and got him. He had left his house and was just coming into Oakwood. He came to the Bait Shop and we talked with John until about 7:30am and then packed it in and went home. NO fishing today. Sure wish the weather would cooperate, we have to fish a tournament on Saturday!!! February 9 - As you can tell, I haven't been able to get on the lake for some time. The weather has been terrible and all reports are that the fishing has been equally terrible. I got up this morning at about 6:00am and checked the weather. temperature 28 degrees and no wind. I waited until about 10:00am and the temperature was about 34 degrees, so I got my stuff together and went out on the lake for few hours. I didn't get live bait but used Lures and Jigs. Actually I used Spreaders with a lure on the long leader and a Hair Jig on the short leader. In addition, I put out Planer Boards with Fish Traps out to the side. I had one hit and it was a Spotted Bass about 1.5 lbs. Fished for about 3 hours. Water Temperature was 74 degrees + or - a few tenths of a degree, the wind was about 2 mph but the water was very dirty. Fished both Sardis Creek and Ada Creek. Nothing lost, had a great time just being on the water and look forward to this storm passing quickly so I can get back on the water either by the end of the week or on Monday.
