All I can say is..... If you are going to hush Lake Athens, bring a white/char buzz bait and some wm-gold baby brush hogs. Fish em right in the middle of the biggest weed beds you can find.......that's not hard to do

Well, I am going tomorrow, haven't been there in awhile.... I hope things are better. My plans are to try something different than the wacky worm I always used before, going to try some crank baits, rat l traps, swim jigs... see what happens like that.
