Fishing
A Bandit 200 and a 1/2-oz. Rat-L-Trap fished in dirty water in Georgia’s Little River was exactly how Tony Green became this year’s Georgia Bass Chapter Federation (GBCF) Top-Six state champion. Tony weighed in 30.40 pounds of Clarks Hill bass for the March 10-11 tournament, where the top-six anglers from 73 GBCF-affiliated bass clubs converged…
The GONetwork and the Henry County Water and Sewerage Authority (HCWSA) hosted the third-annual Kids Duck Box Building Day on Feb. 16. The event, held at HCWSA’s Cubihatcha Outdoor Center in Locust Grove, attracted about 75 people, including 31 kids. The project, which began as an effort to simply get kids involved in an outdoor-related…
Very few zeros, plenty of limits and five bass over 5 pounds highlighted the first round of GON’s Skeeter Eliminator Series tournament at Lake Sinclair this morning. The Boater and Non-boater fields have been cut in half, and those anglers are back on the water for Round 2, another four-hour, heads-up battle that will decide…
The dogwoods are starting to bloom, and the turkeys are starting to gobble! This can only mean one thing… some of Nashville’s top artists and the country’s biggest personalities in the outdoor world are packing their hunting gear, fueling up their tour buses, putting new tapes in their filming cameras and heading to the area…
Reading an article about saltwater fishing in Georgia generally means learning about catches either offshore, or around the Brunswick or Savannah areas. That’s not a bad thing, but there are a lot more places to fish along the coast than just those two or three locations. Five counties have a significant piece of the coast…
There is just something special about fishing for walleye on a moon-lit night at Blue Ridge Lake. Ever since I was a child I remember casting a doll fly across the rip-rap rocks at the dam. The moon would rise to my back, and the water would glisten with every ripple of wind. I would cast…
The early morning gobbling activity was over, and I hadn’t heard a turkey in hours, however, my confidence rose as I alternated between light calling and scanning the field for birds. As I watched my decoys, four mature gobblers silently raced each other to my setup. Shifting my gun, I placed the red dot on…
Last year, on April 5, Sean Bennett of Statesboro killed a freakish, eight- bearded, Treutlen County gobbler that broke a 7-year-old state record. The funny thing is, the bird was not particularly old or large, it just had a whole lot of beard. A score of 152.25 was good enough to beat out the old…
When Tony Allen told me the night before our early February trip that he had some new “goodies” to try out the next day, I knew I was in for a treat. As owner of A&R Jigs and More, a crap- pie-specialty business in Danville, he has access to some of the top crappie tackle…
For many years Lake Jackson was known for its big bass. Then spotted bass got into the lake, and it seemed the big lunker largemouths got very rare, but you could catch a pile of keeper- sized spots. Stringers with several 6-to 8-lb. bass are not seen like they were years ago, but 20-lb. tournament…
