What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cumming, Georgia for the first time?

If you come this time of year, early morning, bring a warm jacket or hoodie. Come with sunglasses, snacks, water, and bring your best attitude. It's lovely. If you are a newbie fisher, depend on Captain Mickey. If you are experienced, discuss with him what you will be allowed to do as far as managing the poles. Plan to spend a wonderful day enjoying the weather and the views. You will see more than fish and depend on Captain Mickey to give you lessons about the area and the wildlife. This was my first time on a boat fishing trip and I can't wait to try again, especially since I didn't have to get my hands dirty: ).

Allow lots of extra travel time if you're driving the expressways around Atlanta. Dress for the weather, it's colder out on the lake in the fall. Sunglasses are a must, the water gets very sparkly

Fishing were not biting. My son in law do pull in one striper. Captain tried hard to get on the bite.

Book this guide, he was very professional and he knew the lake and his profession. Very family friendly.

fishes not active in winter, maybe should plan the fishing trip in July-September.

You just have to move around and have a fish finder to make sure you are on the schools.
