As a change from fishing local lakes and ponds, I'm looking for public access bank fishing on a stream or river, and because of my age, without too much walking involved. Also no boating or wading, just sitting on the bank. I'm in the Lawrenceville area near Sugarloaf Pkwy, and don't want to drive much more than about 20 miles.
Can anyone tell me if there are any spots worth fishing in the Apalachee River -- or even in Drowning Creek, which flows into the Apalachee -- in the area south of GA-316 and north of Tribble Mill and Harbins parks, or possibly a bit further east to the area south of Bethlehem?
Or is the river (and the creek) too small and shallow in that area to be worthwhile fishing? I'd be mainly targeting carp, even small ones (catch & release), and since Lake Oconee is full of them, I figure I might find a few in the streams that flow into the lake, as well.
Thanks for any suggestions!
