hey man, if you have a boat, try lake marion in santee cooper sc. it isn’t very far past the ga state line. i know that there have been monstorous bass and catfish pulled out of that lake. there are different camps and campgrounds around the area. i have been to this lake a couple of time andhave great time every time. a buddy i work went there a couple of weeks ago and he said that him and his wife racked up. i am not far from there i am right out side of savannah ga and the trip is only 1.5 hrs from here. give or take a little. it is right up i-95 streight shot to the lake and then just follow the signs to the boat ramps and campgrounds. i highly suggest this lake unless you want to go to north ga to do fishing. you said that you didn’t want to drive too far so lake marion in santee cooper sc would be my best suggestion. i have seem pictures of bass the size of greman shepards and castfish the size of volvos pulled out of that lake. ok i was stretching the truth a little, but hell, it is fishing who doesn’t stretch the truth a little. being on a serios note, get on line and check out this lake. it is a great place to camp and fish and just get away from real life for a little while. hope this helps good luck and good fishin. oh yea, you said that you were from, fl. this july me and a couple friends are going to st johns river in astor fl. have you ever been there. how is the fishing and do you have any suggestions about the river. if so could you shoot me an email justintodd1979@yahoo.com. good luck
