I have never been to lake Athens before and am wondering where the best place to launch is. I wanna go this Saturday.

There's only one public ramp on the lake and it's by the Marina. Use the single lane ramp to the North.

Find the grass and you will find the bass...good thing is the grass is pretty much everywhere! We did best on mainlake points fishing 10-15ft in hydrilla.

But we did see some folks catching them up shallower on rattle baits.

only one ramp and use the smaller of the two. IF the lake had come up the middle ramo will be okay then. Lots of grass last time I went but that was Nov. If you get a chance eat at the restaurant on the lake. Great food
