My favorite fishin' hole, and NO I ain't tellin' ya where it is.

But I'll take ya there if ya want.

Dan,

That looks like a place I use to fish on the upper end of the Big Satilla River in Georgia back in the middle 80’s.

Is there anything else in up in them trees one need to be looking out for

It is a nice place ta fissh , whats one to catch if he does go fishin' there

DanG · « **Reply #8 on:** December 24, 2009, 05:04:59 pm »

Well, you should try not to get directly under the eagles.

There are Bass, Crappie, Catfish, and all sorts of Sunfish...Bream we call'em down here. Oh yeah, there's a whole bunch of big ol' 'gators in there too, but they don't bother ya.

I did little piece on that place a few months ago down in the outdoor section. More pics there.

isawlogs · « **Reply #9 on:** December 24, 2009, 05:50:14 pm »

I'm thinking maybe in two summers , I have a date for this coming summer , so gas allowance is going there . But ... Next after that , might be to go down way down further then the last time I tried . That should give you time to get that pondtoon afloat

DanG · « **Reply #10 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:00:17 pm »

That would be fantastic Marcel!

We'd have to use the little boat though, as the pontoon won't fit through some places.

LeeB · « **Reply #11 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:22:35 pm »

Got room for three in that boat? Ya'll are two of the folks I would truly like to meet.

DanG · « **Reply #12 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:09:55 pm »

It's a two man rig Lee, but I can lay my hands on another one. Also got plenty of places for the pontoon, and it is licensed for 16. Y'all need to be aware that you might be exposed to such riff-raff as Tom, Woodbowl, Fishpharmer, Slabs, WDH, Brdmkr, Ellmoe, and Customsawyer if ya come down here. Hope I didn't scare ya off.

LeeB · « **Reply #13 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:12:09 pm »

Quite the contrary. Sounds like a good time.

DanG · « **Reply #14 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:22:15 pm »

That part I can just about guarantee!

isawlogs · « **Reply #15 on:** December 24, 2009, 08:59:26 pm »

Good , then after I get on it there is still technicaly for 14 1/2 more .
Dan , Ya wont catch me there in the heat .. so we have lots of time to plan this , when is the best time to avoid heat .... And it cant be be october or november or december or any that have snow here, only leaves a very narrow window

whats the september weather like

I dont need to be putting a line in da water , can put the boat in for a ride or two ...

Lee , right back at ya .

DanG · « **Reply #16 on:** December 24, 2009, 09:24:53 pm »

September is hotter than a...ahh...eerrr...well, it's HOT! October ain't bad at all, and the Moultrie show is that month. If you got all your stuff swept up into one pile before you came down, would you be OK to get home by Oct 20 or so?
What about Spring? When do you get away from snow duty? April and May are great down here, and even June ain't too bad.

isawlogs · « **Reply #17 on:** December 25, 2009, 12:34:29 am »

May is cool , ya right !!!!! I was down ther e in amy , the end of May one time and the thermometer ahd hit 100 jsut about the time I crossed into Georgia , thats about the time I did a U turn and came back north ... to South Carolina , hit the beach there and sar fur a week .
But to answer , snow duty is on till April , after that I can git going . I would miss the flooding ,

So I would need to let part of a hunting season go by to head out that way in the fall ... gonna do some cogitating and git back to you on that .

DanG · « **Reply #18 on:** December 25, 2009, 01:02:33 am »

Anytime in April and the first half of May is perfect. That's about as good as it gets. The earlier in that time frame, the better for you I would think. The fishing is really good then too.

You better put my name in there, and dig out the pontoon boat!!

ARKANSAWYER · « **Reply #20 on:** December 26, 2009, 03:39:37 pm »

This is not my favorite tree photo but one I will not soon forget.

LeeB we could take my boat down and follow him in there and GPS that hole.

pigman · « **Reply #21 on:** December 26, 2009, 04:08:35 pm »

Arky, I have been trying real hard to forget Jan 09 and you go and post a picture like that.

LeeB · « **Reply #22 on:** December 26, 2009, 05:18:23 pm »

Arky, that picture is mighty pretty but I'll have to agree with Bob.

The boat idea sounds good though.

isawlogs · « **Reply #23 on:** December 26, 2009, 05:25:35 pm »

You guys getting that old that you need a GPS to remember for ya wheres yous been

LeeB · « **Reply #24 on:** December 26, 2009, 05:33:07 pm »

What you talking about old?

customsawyer · « **Reply #25 on:** December 27, 2009, 09:29:10 am »

You go and try getting that fishing hole on GPS point and the next thing Dang will take you on is a snipe hunt.

That sounds like a Dang good time that would be hard to miss out on.

isawlogs · « **Reply #26 on:** December 27, 2009, 11:15:30 am »

Dang , ya might need to look up and get a floating trailer to pull behind the pontoon

DanG · « **Reply #27 on:** December 27, 2009, 01:50:16 pm »

Well, I got the little boat too, as well as a canoe and a jonboat. James G has a boat too, and I forgot to put him on the list. BTW, Stephen, that list was just the local yokels that are likely to drop by here most anytime. Visitors from afar tend to draw them like flies, especially if there is food involved. If we got a big crowd with fishin' on their minds, we'd have to go up to Bass Island Campground in the edge of Georgia.

Uhh, what was this thread about? Oh yeah. TREES

ARKANSAWYER · « **Reply #28 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:59:19 pm »

If'n you ever get into a southern swamp you will want GPS too. Besides I may want to get back to that honey hole with out DanG some day.

Sprucegum · « **Reply #29 on:** December 28, 2009, 05:21:45 pm »

This is not my most-favorite tree but it is the one I see most often. And it tells me the weather

You don't need the GPS Arky. Just go to Orange and turn right. You do like Orange, don't you?

Here is the old home place covered with snow. I'll probably knock it down next summer. That will bring a tear to the eyes.

I know a place that looks just like yours DanG. A relative of mine owns a campground and boat landing there. Oh, and add one more riff raff to the mix.

DanG · « **Reply #34 on:** January 05, 2010, 10:13:17 pm »

That must not be the same place, BD, since there ain't no campground on this crick. I did forget to add you to the riff-raff list, but then you ain't been real regular around here either.

I got a little bait that might put you in my neighborhood though.

I stopped by Mr. Hootie's place today and had a good chat with his SIL. The place is still open, and will be for a while. Most of the former "price structure" went to the grave with Mr. Hootie, and Miz Bonnie is ready to move some merchandise.

I can also meet you in Bristol and take you to that fishin' hole, soon as the weather warms up and I get my boat fixed.

bd354 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 05, 2010, 11:03:32 pm »

You probably know the place I'm talkin about. Ever heard of Scotts Ferry? There's a General Store, camping area with trailer hookups and cabins. It's on the north end of the Dead Lakes. Where Chipola River feeds into the lakes.

That's good news about Mr. Hooties place. Hafta make a run up there. I'll hollar when I come up.

Better go now, nuff hijackin

DanG · « **Reply #36 on:** January 05, 2010, 11:19:38 pm »

Oh yeah, I know right where Scott's Ferry is...purty spot! Last I heard, Dead Lakes was just about dried up. Did it come back ok?

bd354 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 06, 2010, 12:01:03 am »

Several years ago the dam was taken out so the water levels aren't what they used to be. Still a lot of good fishing when we're getting enough water. (like now) Fishing is good up river and down in the lakes.

DWM II · « **Reply #38 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:56:17 pm »

This is by far one of my favorites of all time, its a hackberry that I carved this into when my wife and I got married. Just a around to taking a photo of it.
