With school back in session early in August, Ellijay and surrounding areas are much quieter than we had expected. Shopping, dining and fishing have been calm and relaxing. On the lake, we were one of only a couple boats out there and it was soooo calm and beautiful!!

We had a great time, but the weather was milder than it normally is in July. There are a lot of variables to consider.

Getting out on the lake in the morning is best - less recreational boaters zooming by, better time to catch fish, and the sun is not as intense as it would be in the afternoon.

It was hot, but great to be on the water in good weather! Do be prepared, in this type of heat the fish will tend not to bite as frequently or at all, itโ€™s tough finding them and even harder to get them to bite!

Allow lots of extra travel time if you're driving the expressways around Atlanta. Dress for the weather, it's colder out on the lake in the fall. Sunglasses are a must, the water gets very sparkly.

Do yourself a favor if you havenโ€™t fished Carters Lake and hire a guide. I caught two strippers each over 36 inches plus a half dozen spotted bass on a four hour trip with Captain Len Slay on Carters Lake in October 2023
