Any fellow slow boaters wanna hit Lathem or Mary Alice Park Monday for a few hours around 900 after sun gets up good.

Think of taking the fast boat to Oconee Monday. Since I got it, the NuCanoe has stayed dry and lonely.

Don't worry, I'll be back on Lathem for the crappie and cracker spawns!

Well first time ever fishing Lathem on a weekend. Pulled into the lot and to my surprise at 9:00 am it was packed.There was a tournament going on with all kinda fancy bass boats with 3-4 trolling motors attached plus some assorted jonboats. They were already at it so i unloaded the solo skiff and headed out. Ended up catching seven bass and one crappie drop shot shiners. Fish were deep 30-50 feet for me. Water temp was 42-46 light breeze nice day for 2-2. Tourny winner took 5 fish 17 lbs not a bad average.

Looks like the catching was pretty good at Lathem yesterday. I got there really late to test a trolling motor and there was a bass tournament ending:

7lb’er out of Lathem and it’s not even spring. I can’t wait for the water to warm up a few degrees. I hit Bull Sluice and Sweetwater last week and got skunked. Water was muddy!

Still got this dang aircast on my foot, so no kayaking for me another 3 weeks. Maybe the 'crackers will be bedding by then. @weagle : did you note the water temp?

I went out for 4 hours today, caught one spot on wacky rig. Water temp was 50-51 degrees at launch and surrounding areas. North end of the lake was 52-53 degrees.

Thanks. Looks like I got another week or two, then. I'll be in the tin boat on Oconee in the meantime. No loose floating docks or closed boat ramps there..
