4B " Sunday, August 30, 2009 * Jackson County Floridan That's me all o Dear Clete, Do you recall the day we dumped Uncle Luther's ashes in the creek'? I wrote a column about it, remember? Oh, that's right. You "don't never read that trash nohow," do you? Oh; well. That's okay. I'm certain you haven't forgotten. Anyway, that incident set me to pondering Though I wasn't too keen on it at the time. I'm thinking now maybe it wasn't a bad way for old Luther to end up Matter of fact, I'm thinking I might 'want you to do the same kinda thing for me when the time comes. Whatcha Bob Kornegay say? Now, don't go agreeing to this 'straight off, because it's not quite as simple as it sounds. I don't want the exact' same "rites" Luther got. I mean, don't just go dumping all my ,ashes into that little bluegill hole and be done with it. You're going to have to do a bit of traveling. So, listen up before you say yes. First off, I want you to take my cremat- ed "remainders" and divide them into 15 equal portions. Then, hop in the truck and hit the road.

Following that, walk .out onto that little fishing pier on the other side of the dam and put some of me there where the water flows through: In both instances make sure you don't face into the wind. I wouldn't want to blow back into your face. (2) Cross the Hooch into Georgia. Drive to a certain river County (I'll leave you the big white oak along road where I took my fir of me there.

Deep-running crankbaits are also paying off on some of the ledges.' Crappies are cooperating with some anglers this week. As is the rule this time of year, they are on the flats in brush just off the main creek and river channels. Use spoons or live min- nows at depths down to 20 feet. Bream will bite early and late, but individual fish are small as a rule. Late-afternoon and evening catfishing is fair to good. Hybrids are slow. L A K E ANDREWS/CHATTA- HOOCHEE RIVER - Catfish have been good on the river of late. Though it is too hot for many anglers to brave the daytime temperatures, sev- eral good catfish catches are reported by night fish- ermen, primarily anglers fishing the banks near the tailwaters of both dams. Good numbers of pan-size fish are reported. Larger individual cats may be caught while anchored downstream from the tailwaters. Use shad, cut bait, worms, or frozen shrimp. Bass are slow. The best largemouth bite comes on topwater baits very early in the morning. Work the banks and slow-water areas with something very noisy, such as a Torpedo or Devils Horse. Bream are fair on crick- ets and worms. Drop-fish deep water along steep banks for the best results. Bluegills will make up most of the catch., (Generation schedules, pool levels, and other such information for area water- ways may be obtained by calling toll-free 1-888-771- 4601.
