Hello friends!
I’m David from Spain.
I will be about 20 days this next August in Alpharetta visiting my sister and brother in law. They will be working during the week, so I will have free time. You can read my introduction here…

There is still a lot of time, but I want to do it well.
I have learnt about license and private property but I am not sure about specific fishing questions.
I want to ask you some things that I´m going to split in a few concrete posts for not mixing things…
I´m planning for something a little different than bass and trout fishing I can do here. And one of them is wading for shoal bass. I am only interested in lure fishing. I will only do catch and release.
I will be in the Atlanta metro, the upper Chattahoochee, and the Flint.
Here comes my questions:
-In the Flint, what spot will be better for wading? Sprewell or Big Lazer? I have read there´s free tent camping in Big Lazer, is it safe to pass the night there?
-I will have to buy a rod and I´m thinking in a medium fast baitcasting rod in the 1/4-3/4oz range. I know you use spinning for this pourpose, but I want to go baitcasting, Is it possible? Anyway, I will take one 2500 spinning real with me if things come hard.
-I will carry an V-shaped float tube in the luggage and there is a launching service in Flint River Outdoors Center offering 5, 10 and 20 miles trips (this last one includes right for tent camping in Goat Mountain) what do you think about it? I usually do up to 7-10 miles trips fishing in still water but in a river there is a lot of corners to put a bait, so I think more than 5 miles a day could be too much… Will a float tube be safe in this portion of the Flint?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much!
PD: Fishing buddies are welcome, of course!
