On a real note.....Athens paper says the folks that opened the Marina Bait & Grill will be closing it. Can't make enough money....... no wonder closing at 5:30pm when the sign says 7pm. Not being there for tournament weekends earlier to get in on the traffic. Athens Municipal Water District says these guys run over 100 Marinas and they can't make this one work.
That sucks. Thought they had a pretty good setup going

That sucks. Thought they had a pretty good setup going It was a good set up. We have ate in there a good bit lately. There just isn't enough business for it I guess. We have seen two other fisherman in all the times we have been in it that have bought food. The restaruant really needs to open back up. They got some fisherman and alot of people who just drove out there to eat. No one was driving out there just to eat at the lakeside grill. Nice people that worked in there though. I heard the restarant was supposed to open up again in August. I'm sure Nutman would know more about it than I would though. Maybe he could confirm.

AMWA is looking for someone to run the entire operation. They do not want to separate everything or anything. The bait shop -- grill -- RV park -- big restaurant & they want fuel available,,,, it will all go as a package. If they would let me charge a ramp fee I would be on it in a second.

Fished from 7:30 to 1 since I keep hitting the snooze! Ended up with 9. 6 were caught in 7-10 ft of water in the grass on whacky worm and fluke. The other 3 were schoolers. All but a couple of schoolers were solid slots. I like the lake and can't wait to give it another go. Going to give fork ago tomorrow.

Haha! Fork can get tough! But I live here on Fork and regularly get my butt handed to me. So I made a change of plans and I'm taking the wife hybrid fishing on Twok.

They're schooling all over lake instead of like last year when they grouped alot better and were easier to find and catch. They have gotten quite weary.

Dad and I fished until 3 today. Best 5 went 20lbs. My pops caught a big one. It was just over 26in long, but barely any gut. We messed with schoolers, but you had to be patient and be at the right place at the right time. The ones we caught crawl under to pounds so we didn't mess with that too much. But they were schooling all over the lake

What time is the morning bite shutting down? When is the evening bite starting? After a few mid day trips with little luck, I guess I'm going to start waking up early and burning out when it gets hot.
