what are some good fishing ponds(from shore) in the atlanta area
Not many people fish there, I guess because its in the middle of Atlanta, but it needs to be fished more than it is. There are tons of bream in there which needs to be managed and plenty of healthy bass. Seen one dead crappie before and it also has some 20+ lbs Koi fish. So if you really want a good pull, take a treble hook.
I fish the Heflin, AL watershed which is less than one hours drive. You will need a small boat, but it is awesome fishing. It is public.
I see cars parked on the side of the road beside a lake on camp creek pkwy, south of cambelton rd. Every day.
That's Vandiver's Lake. I don't know much about it, though.
Plenty of Bream and Bass in there, as well as some channel cats. Buddy of mine caught a 6lb Largemouth out of there, and my son caught his biggest bream out of that lake. Heard there are Crappie too, but never seen anyone catch them. Some BIG snakes hanging around there too! Seen at least 1 every trip last year.
