At my age this may be the last time my son and I get to do some serious fishing.Pickwick lake is the choice.He lives in atlanta, me in glasgow, about a 5 hr drive for either of us.Too old to drive to upper michigan, and far to expensive, him being a teacher limits our fall and winter trips, besides he had his daughter to take care of. Lake Lanier is real crowded now, as are most lakes and watching water skiers and tubers and jet skis isn't what fishing is about.The corp cancelled the cumberland river for us, My boat now isn't big enough for lake michigan.But what ever gonna enjoy the heck out of it.
