Coming back with an update after a few trips and planning.

I've gone out a handful of times since this post. Still have caught nothing. Haven't even had anything on my line. This is all fine by me - I'm new to freshwater fishing and it's a great time to just sit back and feed fish lol.

But, along my journey, I've picked up two useful resources:

  1. Georgia's Department of Wildlife has an app to review a lot of information on fishing, hunting, etc. The app isn't perfect, but offers lots of handy information. https://georgiawildlife.com/outdoors-ga-app
  2. Fishbrain app is pretty cool and more refined to show you what fellow anglers in your area are catching, recommending, boasting about and more. Although it's good, they sell (hard) their subscription model to the service. I understand, but doesn't change the fact it's annoying and I don't fish that often. https://fishbrain.com/

This is the heartbreaking, gut wrenching stuff about our state's greed.

If we don't use some of the $5 billion to help sexual assault victims, what are we doing with the money?

The title says "US Lawmakers demanding action"... But, outside of going Schoolhouse Rock turning a bill into a law, there's nothing they can really do...

Right?

Just had to come back and thank you for this! Had no idea such magic existed! Using the PlantNet app made me feel like it was 2010 and smartphones were magical! 🤩🤣

Ok, thanks for that extra context 🙏🏾

But I also say all this because maybe I'm missing a key piece of the story and why this is so monumental.

Definitely open to hearing other's opinions.

I pose this question with genuine curiosity - does party affiliation really matter in this situation?

Rep. Mainor has voted in ways not aligned with the Democratic party. Plus saying that she betrayed her constituents for changing her personal beliefs is a bit much.

I think my main issue is not that a person in a position of power changed their mind - but that we're stuck in this political duo poly with very little room for "gray area"... It's weird seeing this much media coverage on it.

Idk... I'm (1) confused why all the hub bub and (2) think it's not really news. There's so many other issues I'd rather hear reporting on...

The words came to me - I'm just looking to fish for sport

 

I recently stopped in to Thompson Park in Cobb county and noticed it had a catch and release pond. Reminded me that fishing is a childhood joy of mine. Now, I'd like to introduce my kids to it as well. But I grew up in South Florida and I don't know jack about fishing in Georgia. Let alone any ideal places to try.

Do you have any fishing spot recommendations for the metro area, especially on the east side of town? Doesn't need to be anything fancy or the world's greatest spot. Just a spot to have some good ol fishing fun.

Unfortunately I can't help with your original request, but ooohhhhh!

There's a plant ID app? What's the one you use / prefer?
