Metro ATL Lakes

Looking to find some lakes around Marietta (gas or non gas) that I can fish after work on the weekdays. Fished Allatoona yesterday and not sure if I will be back!! Stopped at Lake Acworth and the boat launch was closed.

Allatoona is good fall and winter lake. In the summer its pounded with jet skis and ski boats. In the summer we fish it at night not on the weekends. When it gets cooler Id be glad to take you out one day this fall or winter and help you get going up there. Most people get addicted to it once they go and get used to it. In the summers they have a monday night 4 hour pot tournament that will draw 100 boats or better.

Wow that is impressive for a weeknight tourney and that sounds awesome. I definitely need a guide out there lol

I dont know about guide but i have been fishing it all my life, i cant go out there and get them everytime but I do know whats going on. I live about 15 mins from the lake in cartersville. I really spend most of my fishing time in alabama. your not that far from it. But here in another couple of weeks ill be glad to take you out there. Maybe even this sunday, i will know for sure later this week on that. If you want you can im me and leave me ur cell number and we can set up something. Also check out the allatoona fishing forum.

If you need a guide on Allatoona contact Triton Mike...you can find him on the humminbird fourm... If you are just looking for "spots" to fish after work try the river... I am trout fishing most weekends at Jones Bridge, Island Ford. When it cools just a little more then go back to the big lakes.

I will google those two places. Is it catch and release there? I never keep bass but usually kept fresh northern pike/walleye when I lived in Wisconsin. Are we able to keep a trout or two?
