Launch at Lanier

[rhinobait]

Coming from Allatoona - Where would you launch at Lanier? I found this - www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1rqq2kRpPE4TaQ7xyTQsF09uxmEA&hl=en&ll=34.18848210270501%2C-84.04141898516843&z=13 

However, I do not want to drive to a ramp and find out its private or whatever. Leaving out tomorrow morning. 

TIA

Not sure where around Allatoona you would be coming from, but I would suggest going up to Catnton and going East on GA 20 until you get to State Rd 369 and turn left(only way you can turn from Canton). Stay on 369 cross 400 then go through Hammond Corners and stay until you see the sign for Charleston Park. Good ramp and lots of parking for $4.

Thanks for the reply. I would be coming from little river.

Those directions should work for you if you go north on HWY 5.

Agree with Bob

Man the lot was full by 8am. I went over the bridge and found some more parking and a ramp. Thanks for the help you got me to where I needed to be. My trolling motor only lasted an hour. So I am going to charge it tonight and then load test it tomorrow. The trip turned into a discovery trip. I was a little nervous in my metal Lowe boat that is for sure. Haha.

If you go back over there tomorrow, go under the bridge, past the private boat docks (looks like Marina slips) on the right and fish the rock bank all the way to the point in the back with Shakey head and watermelon candy finesse worms, tipped in chartreuse. Keep your boat in about 25' of water and cast to the waterline and work it out slowly with a lot of pauses. Look for the light bite, sometimes they will just slowly swim away with it. Then fish the deeper boat docks on the wall in the back (perpendicular to the rock bank). I put together almost 9 pounds there in a club tournament yesterday.

Thanks for the tip. I actually did go back there. However, I was back there for a different reason. I am surprised there was no "johns" at the lot I was at. I need to look into a season pass for parking.
