To deck or not to deck?

Where did y'all go? Lake Acworth? If so, how have the fish been doing over there recently? I haven't been on there since Dec.

We went up to Lathem Reservoir last Sunday didn't stay long, went to Acworth today and caught one dink. I don't know about that place sometimes, my neighbor caught a 10lber out of there a couple years ago. I know there are some big ones in there but sometimes or most of time you can't even buy a bite.

I usually get the latter. You know not to eat anything out of there right? I wouldn't let a fish from there come near my mouth. Kinda makes me wonder if the same pollutant is what is making the largemouth so big.....

Gave it a light sanding, wiped it down with mineral spirits and then used Krylon Fusion (rattle cans), Olive Green and Khaki.

I sanded and scraped the old decals off, rattle canned with self etching primer on all bare metal areas, sprayed the red and black and rolled the silver.

Here are some pics of what I have gotten done, not loaded in any order. Still a ways to go!

wow =D> i love what you did to your boat,, did u use tape to cover the boat on the sides to paint khaki on the lip/edge of the boat, how many cans did u use,,lol?? i have a compressor/sprayer i think im going to use,, 2 coats of primer,, and 2 coats of auto paint,,from autozone,, hopefully it will work for boats..

I went to Lake Varner last weekend with a guy. They say that is the place in GA for double digit bass, about 850 acres. They say any cast can pull in a dink or a hawg! We were out there right before the front came through, not to mention it was 100 degrees.

Lathem is not far from Canton - bout 15 min or so. I haven't fished it, but from what I hear it is a quota pond - ton of bass... but not many lunkers.

Shoot me an email sometime - [email protected]... I might be able to sneak away.

I am just over the hill in Cartersville, so either one of y'all, if you want to head out, I can bring the Yazoo. Just shoot me a PM. I am good for most any weekend and during most school holidays.
