Wife and I fished Athens - Northeast on Saturday amongst beautiful clear blue skies with variable winds after a significant rain all afternoon Friday.  We found the fishing to be very, very tough – managed only 4 between 2 and 3 pounds and 1 crappie.  All the bass came on paddle-tail swimbaits, but we threw pretty much everything.  This is my first time on Northeast.  I am sure that it is a solid lake and we will try again.  It is especially clear – I think because the bottom is unusually firm throughout the lake – can barely penetrate with a shallow water anchor pin.  We saw what appeared to be several beds – but they were all empty and I suspect all the bass have spawned and they might have been sluggish/idle because of this.  Enjoyed our stay in the cabin.  The cabin has everything you need.
