For catching plenty of crappie at Lake West Point, Yellowjacket Creek is all you need to know, says Jeff Key. Jeff, who travels regularly from his home in Milner to the lake, says he concentrates on one stretch of Yellowjacket no matter what the sea- son. The areas he fishes change little. From February through…
Greg has guided full time in the Golden Isles area for the last 13 years, with much of his time during the last several years spent on a poling platform in pursuit of red- fish. When not on the water on a guide trip, he spends time in his shop producing some of the finest…
February is a feast-or-famine month for bass fishermen in middle Georgia. The fishing runs hot and cold just like the weather. During a warm spell you can catch bass anywhere, but to be consistent all month you need to head to Lake Oconee. Since it is located in the middle of the state, Oconee is…
Mike Cleveland of Monticello has two dreams — one, he wants to be a full-timer on the FLW Tour bass-tournament trail, and two, he wants to compete in the Bassmaster Classic. I believe he’ll meet both these goals, and he’ll probably do it sooner than later. Competitive bass anglers from Georgia know the name Mike…

We’re both very lucky to have access to…
Do you remember your seventh-grade science class? Were you able to grasp an understanding of — or even care about — the role microscopic bacteria plays in an ecosystem? For the scientists out there, the answer may be yes, but for the average seventh grader, studying bacteria is about as exciting as… well, studying bacteria.…
Georgia deer hunters have become food-plot specialists in recent years in attempts to both improve the health of the local deer and enhance their hunting opportunities. There has also been an increased interest in recent years in planting trees to benefit deer and turkeys. Oaks, apples, persimmons and crabapples are but a few of the…
Tournament bass anglers are a serious and dedicated bunch. You’ll find them lined up at first light at boat ramps on most of our Georgia reservoirs, ready to blast off for a day of competition. Winter is no exception. While most of us prefer to sit at home on blustery cold days and sharpen hooks,…
On January 6, 2007, the third annual squirrel hunt hosted by Hurricane Creek Hunting Club took place in Lumpkin County on private property. We began this program three years ago after WRD reported declining hunter numbers and declining license sales. We wanted to help. One of the things we decided to do was host an…
