Found a good article about the Flint River on the GON website.

Owl,

Soon as Little League is over with (two more weeks) I'll have more free time and we'll do it.

Drifter,
Thanks for posting that link. I don't know why I don't just break down and subscribe to GON; it's quoted frequently by multiple sources.

I've read about the Flint's shoal b****for years, but the location has kept me from giving it a shot. I'm hunting in Monroe county now, and may just have to start heading for home about 05:30 on Sunday mornings this year! Gotta get in on this "low country" smallmouth business. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

By the way - nice to have met you (and of course, everybody else!) at the Fling. Cool boat. I started describing it at home, and my glazed eyes were duly noted. When my wife resorts to logical discussion regarding logistics and proper storage, it's a pretty safe bet that THAT dream ain't happening anytime soon! http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/redface.gif

Tight lines,

Windknot,

Re: the driftboat

Thanks for the compliment. I meant to bring some of Tatman's catalogs to the Fling, but once again I forgot http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/frown.gif They say your memory is the 2nd thing to go......I forget what the first is.

Anyone wanting a catalog let me know your snailmail address. FYI .. Tatman sells driftboat kits with a 16 footer costing about $750. His site is at:

I picked up a copy of GON the other day, it had the article about the Flint (basically the same one on the web site, but longer). It's got me salivating -- especially after getting skunked for the 3rd straight time on the Hooch. Saw a beautiful 18"er at McGinnis Ferry Sunday, beautifully ensconced in a blowdown, hard as hell getting anything close, and when I did, it was inspected and ignored.
