Sweetwater Creek???

[Pbase55]

I’ve been fishing across Sweetwater Creek, not the state park, yet. Anyone else fishing the creek, if so any tips/baits/ catches, post below.

I just started in various areas in Cobb/ Paulding

Some really good fishing in SWC just before it spills into the hooch.

I think the challenge is that the park doesn't go all the way down that far, so hiking down there is an issue. You have to have a boat and come up from the river or launch in the creek and float down. I don't think the park has an actual kayak launch but there may be a way to carry or roll a kayak to the creek from the parking area.

I’ve read that there’s a significant drop off from sweetwater to chattahoochee. Has anyone been down that way to verify?

If you choose to get out in that creek and wade there at Factory Shoals, watch yourself.
Those rocks are rough.
Had a friend break a wrist out in that stuff.
Haven't been out there in maybe 25 years.

Oh, that's right. I had forgotten. there is a low water dam on the creek that would prevent you from going up too far from the Hooch. You can see it on the Google Satellite maps

I have hiked the river front trail and it goes a long way downstream but I didn't have a fishing rod with me that day. I think we hiked about a 5 mile loop that day

There may be another drop off I'm not aware of but I haven't floated it. If you search this forum I think you'll find old threads about guys kayaking it.

To my knowledge, sweetwater doesn’t even run into the resivour.

I’m more curious as to what’s in the creek prior. I’ve been going for a week or so and only finding blue gills

I'd settle for about 30 of those good looking brim. Looks like pretty good fishing to me and no pests on jet skis or loud radios.
Yummy time!

You seem to be a pretty sincere fisherman.
Since I'm too old to drive way out there on I-20 anymore, I'm posting this structure map I made out there many years ago.
When you get on the lake with it, you'll know what to do. (I used to go to just these spots on this map of mine and murder everything in the pond....all the way from brim, crappie, to bass.)
Give it a shot and good luck to you.

Thanks!!! I’ll have to go this weekend or so.
Just starting to get serious about fishing. In a world of technology, I’m dying to go see daylight/ the outdoors
