Most of the lakes here have lots of coves, rivers, etc. and actually
have many miles of shoreline. Lake Lanier for instance, has almost 700
miles of shoreline. Most bass fishing is done close to shore. Bass
tournament fisherman are starting from the same place, same time, and
want to get to where they think the fish will be as soon as possible.
This quickly transposed to the local guys wanting fast boats. I have to
say, it is nice fun to go like hell when conditions are good. Now, back
to these lakes you will be on, are they deep, and do the banks drop off
fast, or are there quite a lot of shallows? Any guess on the water
temp?
