Fishing
Bass fisherman Dennis Smith has decided that there is something to all the hype around bass fishing with a frog. “I swore I wouldn’t use it,” he said. “But people were bringing in big bags of fish caught on the frog. “My friend John Brady and I were fishing together and he was catching fish…
For a deer hunter, there are few feelings as low as when a blood trail begins to peter out, and then the next drop can’t be found. It’s even more gut wrenching when a hunter dedicates 18 hours of intense effort, including two different tracking dogs, only to finally have to give up the search.…
Last summer when a gator permit arrived in the mailbox, a great, grand adventure was hatched. An endless night doing battle with a 10-foot beast fully capable of causing significant damage… and we’re now wise enough to understand that alligator hunting should not be a casual endeavor. If you’d like to read about that adventure,…
Temperatures soared well into the 90s during the last HD Marine tournament of the 2006 season, but it didn’t hurt the bite for first-place finishers Brad Warfield and Jeff Morgan. The team found fish shallow for the two-day event, which was held June 10-11. On day one the team fished for some topwater fish they’d…
As a kid growing up in western Maryland, one of my favorite summer events was floating the Potomac River in a canoe with my dad, camping on islands in the river, and catching smallmouth bass, red- breast sunfish, and rock bass. When I moved to south Georgia over a decade ago, I figured my days…

As lines begin to wet and move down swift cur- rents into knee-deep pools, three teenage boys — and their fathers — reminded me…

Chattahoochee Tailwater Water temp: Mid 50s Duane Stalnaker said that the hatches on the ‘Hooch below Buford Dam are dwindling down, but that there are still a few caddis and blue-winged olives flying around. If there aren’t enough of those hatching to make the trout look up, don’t hesitate to tie on a nymph. Duane…
