I plan on coming back pretty often as my time allows. Ask for Rick or Rickie. Generally you need to bring your own gear, but the owner is quite friendly and accommodating and can help out with any questions or needs you may have. Very relaxed atmosphere with no real time limit. They allow overnight fishing, but no camp fires or alcohol which may be a negative for some. I can see why as they are trying to keep the area family friendly and clean and sometimes us drunken monkey bottom feeders can get out of hand.. oh well. ;) Excellent spot for family, young kids, and fishing right in the heart of metro Atlanta.

The sites are well maintained and there are plenty of sites that accommodate our 43 foot camper. There are some premium sites that pull through. Just exercise caution with some of those because you could see where some campers dragged trying to get into those. The bath houses are very clean and modern. They also have 20 cabins you can rent. A fair number have been remodeled and those are really nice. We had a great time and are already planning our next trip.

Just wrapped up our second trip to Woods and Water and I can't say enough about how great it is but…read moreI'll try. Our first trip we stayed at their Lodge in Wrightsville in July of 2021 and was guided by Dustin and Will. Both were consummate professionals offering hospitality at the level that made us feel instantly at home. 2/3 of us killed hogs on this trip and the guides had us on hogs from the get-go. Their skill at skinning and being flexible about which cuts we wanted and how to cut up the pigs was top-notch. The second trip was to their Plantation House location and rose to the bar set by our first experience with this outfitter. Blaine, Jerry, and Curt were excellent hosts and guides providing an authentic hunting camp experience. From transparency and flexibility about hunting locations, sharing trail cam footage and general knowledge, giving us a tour of Blaine's extensive Native American artifacts, to sitting around shooting the bull made us feel as though we were amongst friends the entire time. The atmosphere is exactly what we were hoping for and what I've read people are searching for in reviews of other outfitters. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the office staff as well, specifically Melanie. She was a dream to work with explaining all the different pricing structures and offering packages that were wallet friendly. She stayed in touch just enough before our hunt to keep us feeling confident about our upcoming trip. She was also understanding and helpful when we had unforeseen changes in our party size. If you're looking for an authentic hog hunting experience with the comforts of home in a deer camp setting with friendly and knowledgeable people invested in your successful hunt then you don't need to look any farther than Woods and Water.

PERSONAL STORY You see, when I was 9 years old my dad took me on a fishing trip. It was my 1st fishing trip ever and it didn't go very well. I caught most all the fish and although he never said, it seemed to upset him and he spent the remainder of the trip intoxicated. I made a promise to myself that someday when I had a son I would take him fishing and give him a better experience. My father gave us a great life, but occasionally alcohol got the better of him. I was 30 years old when he died. My sisters and mother were too overwhelmed with grief to get up & speak at his funeral, so the delivery of his eulogy fell into my hands. Forced into overcoming my resentment for his years of drinking (and my years of embarrassment), it was only then that I realized alcohol was the one flaw in a genuinely likable and hard working guy that got along with everyone. To him providing a home, groceries, education and life's necessities was being more of a father than HE ever had... and I wept. I still weep to this day with sorrow over my young and foolish attitude. I know now the pressures of living up to not only others expectations, but your own as well (especially when you don't feel capable and sure of yourself). I often think about how he must have felt as a young father doing the best he could and not have his only son appreciate him. I never gave much thought to it before and unfortunately for me my appreciation came too late. I couldn't hug him or tell him I'm sorry for not valuing him. So instead I've try to honor him by being the best father I know how to be. THE EXPERIENCE I have a good friend whom owns a wonderful property on Lake Oconee with lots of lake frontage. He gave me a set of keys to go spend time at his cabin anytime we want and one weekend we decided to make use of his generous offer. It was our first family fishing trip and we caught a total of 6 catfish over three days of fishing. Pretty pathetic huh? LOL The highlight of the trip came on our last day at the lake house. After spending a day on the lake only having caught a few small fish, my son was determined to hook a 'big' fish all by himself. He stayed on the dock for over two hours patiently waiting for a nibble. We were sitting on the porch of the cabin when all of the sudden I hear "DAD, DAD!" As he walks uphill from the lake with a plastic container, he sets the container down and grabs his fishing rod (still attached to the fish). I could tell it was a significant sized catfish by the bend in the rod as he lifted. He was so proud to have caught the biggest fish and we celebrated by skinning all the fish and cooking them for dinner. We finished the evening under the stars eating ice cream (even though it was a little too cold outside). That was 4 years ago and still one of the best weekends ever. We've also spent summer days here BBQing and just enjoying the lake with our friends. Most of my pics are from one of the residential coves where the water is a little more murky and shallow. FINAL THOUGHTS Lake Oconee was created in 1979 when Georgia Power Company built Wallace Dam in Greene County, Georgia. It is a wonderful place to unwind and disconnect from the busy-ness of life. There are excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, antiquing, dining, shopping and historic sight-seeing all around the lake. In addition you can go geocaching, rent lake charters, tubing, jet skiing, kayaking and attend festivals. I will forever be grateful for the fun times we've had as family building memories on this lake. Remember to take time and honor those in your life this Holiday Season, even if they haven't been the person you wanted them to be. Maybe, just maybe they did the best they knew how.
