Then we went downstairs, donated some cash to the Casino, returned to the room and set the alarm for 5am.
Although I will say that Fish and Game Wardens are all over the place in Florida, and up here we never see any. You can do what you like but we don't ever fish without the proper licenses. We went online and purchased two one day passes for Georgia fishing. Shane called mid afternoon the day before as promised, confirmed we would fish Nottely, and gave us directions to meet him there at 0630. He informed us that we might be fishing on Lake Nottely in Ga., so instead of driving 90 minutes in the dark from Bryson City, we booked a room at Harrahs casino in Murphy.
We decided to go out with a guide for my wifes BDay and I am glad we did. So every time I have hired a guide when on vacation, or went out on a party boat in Virginia or the Keys, I always found more than one thing not to like. Owned numerous fresh and saltwater boats and now have a smaller pontoon with a 24V Minn Kota, which more than meets our needs these days. Worked on boats at Hillsboro Inlet in the 70's. Fla., a mile from the beach and a few hundred yards more to the fishing pier. Maybe 3-4 times in my entire life.and I'm 68.
