Missile Baits Joins as Fishing with the GM Sponsor

Missile Baits has signed up as a sponsor for The Lodge on Lake Oconee's Fishing with the GM Program.  Missile Baits is one of is a favorite provider of professional anglers on the Major League Fishing and BASS professional tours. Professional staff members include John Crews, Ish Monroe, Derek Hudnall, Gerald Spohrer, Caleb Sumrall, Bryan Schmitt, Ed Loughran, Cody Hough, and Logan Latusso. While Missile baits is primarily known for their soft plastics, they also offer a great line of jigs designed in conjunction with professional angler Mike Iaconelli. And while I may not be famous like the professional anglers mentioned above, you'll find their soft plastics including D Bombs and Chunky D's in my tackle bag. All participants in our Fishing with the GM program will receive a promo code for 30% off their online purchases in the Missile Baits store. For the kids new to fishing in our program, I suggest they purchase one of the many Bass Fishing Kits available in their store. Thank you again to Missile Baits!

We will be posting an updated schedule of all weekend events in the near future. It's too bad that the weather is not cooperating because the bass fishing off the docks in our cove has been pretty good so far this year. Hopefully that continues throughout the spring and summer.

S'Mores Night!

Summer Kick Off – S’Mores Night

The Lodge on Lake Oconee kicked off the summer with our first S'Mores Night of the year. Kids of all ages snacked on gooey marshmallows, Hershey's chocolate, and graham crackers down at the fire pit along our docks and the lake.

It was a great turnout with with more than a dozen families participating in the event. The hotel provided all of the fixings as well as the skewers to roast the marshmallows over the fire.

Be sure to check our events calendar for the next S'Mores Night or another of our family friendly weekend events.
