What's everybody catchin'?

[1776]

Want to take the kids fishing at a stocked pond to keep them interested in fishing. All of the places around here that I normally go fishing are high pressure areas and they don't have the technique or patience to catch anything. I can reel in fish all day but they don't catch anything. I want to take them somewhere where they will catch a bunch of fish and have a good time to keep them interested in fishing. Whenever we go fishing now they normally end up putting their fishing poles down and go to the playground after about 45 minutes to an hour of not catching anything. Looking for a stocked pay to fish place around the Cherokee area or within a reasonable distance from Cherokee.

Take them to nature's stocked pond...the ocean!

How's the water clarity in north Georgia?

I wish it was that easy. I love saltwater fishing. To get to the ocean is at least a 4 hr drive one way though.

Gets better the further north you go just depending on where you're at. Most places around here you can see about 2-3 feet deep. Up where I go fishing in Ellijay you can see 6-8 feet deep though.

Anyone have any hookups in the PCB area for off-shore fishing? Taking my son off-shore fishing for the first time and would love a good capt and boat.

Yeah I've been off shore fishing a lot, just never off the pan handle.

I thought you wanted to fish for PCB contaminated fish, Tobesofkee Creek south of Macon would be what you seek!

I know techniques that may be helpful but I don't know any captains in PCB.

Dark Side Charters
Panama City Beach, FL
July 5, 2017
5 Hour Charter
Fish Caught:

• 3 King Mackerel (1 over 20lbs)
• 12 Mahi Mahi Dolphin
• 5 Bonita
• 3 Sucker
• 3 Red Snapper (catch & release due to weekday restrictions)
• 1 Black Fin Tuna (a dolphin grabbed it before we could get it aboard.

Captain Ryan and First Mate Myles were awesome! They were laid back and super personable. They carried a great conversation, played great old school country music (when they learned I was a fan of old country), helped my 13 year old son land a 20+ lb King Mackerel in the first 10 mins of fishing and overall made for an amazing trip! I will definitely be using Dark Side Charters every time I go to Panama City Beach to fish.

Sounds like an awesome trip! Glad they were biting and the charter knew where to go-

I've always wanted to go fishing off the coast (I won't say "deep sea" fishing- not sure I'm up for that kind of boat ride).

I going to lower PCB in September. @dougiemac what was the cost for 5 hours ?
