PM's, EMAILS and POSTS....

[Mike Bucca]

Guys/Gals, I am getting ALOT of PM's, Emails and posts asking for my general/specific fishing locations. Please keep in mind that I run a guide service. I want to think that I have provided a pretty much FREE teaching service on this forum on tactics and techniques to a certain point. I do withhold ALOT of key points but alot of times I don't, but I do answer all of the questions that are asked on this forum. I literally have had guides tell me I give out "Too Much" information. I truly want everyone to catch more fish and have a more productive outing when they are out on the lake. But do keep in mind that I do run a guide serivce and I spend ALOT of time and gas money trying to keep up with the fish movements. Last year I spent over 200 days on Allatoona. This year I'll easily spend 200+ days on Allatoona. Think of all the time and gas money I spend to keep my clients on fish. So please don't not ask me for my specific/general fishing locations. Those of you that have booked trips with me in the past know that I am more open and willing to helping you than those that haven't. I think that this is more than fair and partial request.

Also, If you have a fishing question. Please post it on the forum. I am getting alot of private PM's and emails on fishing tactic/baits/techniques etc etc and all of them are worth posting here for all to see. So please post all of your fishing tactics/baits/technique questions here. I have 100 PM's in the last week alone so I hope you understand. .

If you want to book a trip feel more than free to PM me, Email or even stop me at the gas station. ;D

Have to agree with Mike. Sometimes to learn where and how to catch the fish, you have 2 choices 1) Spend a lot of time on the water 2) Hire a guide

Both will cost you money but it's money well spent. I have hired Mike as a guide in the past and it was worth every penny. After our trip was done, he took my lake map I had brought with me and marked locations to find fish in each season of the year. He went above and beyond what one would expect from a guide service. Plus he's just a good guy and a friendly person to deal with. Just tell him to please leave his grandma's hat at home.... : )~~

I will second what Toonafish said. Killian and I hired Mike almost three years ago and had a blast, not to mention learned a lot. There is more info on this site about green fish on the Dead Sea than anywhere else, even with Mike holding back. We spent 6 years fishing this lake before hiring Mike and learning to quit beating up the banks and look for fish where they are, not where we wanted them to be.

Yeah Mike, I think the French Foreign Legion hat has to go as well. Sorry (LOL).

I'll Third it

I concur also, I have guided on West Point and you can't give away the combination to the safe! A business investment is just that. It is a sizable one at any location and a lot of time that can't be compensated.

Guys and Gals,

You will never receive more "free" and "valuable" information
than what Mike provides via this website.

He is one of the most dedicated, Allatoona anglers you will ever meet.

With that being said, I highly recomend booking a trip with
Mike. If you fish Allatoona, it will be money well spent.

My son, Eli will be booking a trip with Mike in November.
Eli is 11yrs old and is spending his own money for this trip.

Mike is the most dedicated guide I know! For those of you that haven't heard, Mike and I had a bet at the beginning of the year to see who would catch the largest bass before ICAST. He had so many guide trips booked; that he couldn't even get to his "secret ponds" where the big bass are.

I told him to take a week or so off and just go whack big fish; but he told me that he couldn't get away from his guiding. He's really dedicated to Lake Allatoona and creating great memories for his clients. He consistently catches bigger than average spots and holds his own with the big largemouths too:)!

I know Mike personally and I don't know of any other guide that takes his job as seriously as he does.

I have to agree 100% with what Mike and the others have said above. Either take the time and learn the lake yourself; or hire a great guide like Mike. BUT don't just ask for GPS locations, when to go; and what to fish! Have some pride and learn how to fish correctly. You can't always rely on other people and you won't learn much from other anglers just giving you spots.

Take care all! And to Ranger Steve; I like my fish better:) <O,)))< ~~~ Mine swims and everything:)! LOL
