Hunting
Plant it, and they will come. Just make sure you don’t hunt it too much. If you do, or if you make some mistakes in how you hunt it, they may only come at night. Or they might stop coming at all. Deer and food plots… the idea of turning dirt and sowing seed for…
I couldn’t have been any older than six when I caught my first fish, but that memory is still very clear in my mind. I was sitting in a jonboat in the middle of my grandparents’ pond in northwest Arkansas with my dad, my Uncle “Foo,” and my cousin, Greg, and had my little Zebco…
Few people have the reputation for their ability to catch fish that William Sasser has for catching crappie on Clarks Hill. Year round, William can catch fish. You may have seen him recently on the UPN fishing show, “Fishing with Ralph Barbee.” The trip took place on Valentines Day, when William says the fishing hadn’t…
It is likely the No. 1 cove on all of Lake Sinclair for catching a cooler-full of crappie in February: Beaverdam Creek. The reason the fishing is hot, and fires up early in February, is the hot-water discharge from Georgia Power Co.’s Plant Harlee Branch, a coal-fired electric-generating facility, which is located near the upper…
The planer board closest to the boat on the right-hand side had been quietly cutting a wake through the smooth surface of the Little River. Suddenly it lurched backward, then accelerated away in reverse. Steve grabbed the rod from a rod holder and swept back, setting the hook and putting a nice bow in the…

If the catfish in Lake Hartwell could complain, they would probably complain about these two: catfishermen Red Duncan and Melvin Wall. When these two go catfishing they usually catch fish — lots of fish, and lots of big fish. A friend recently asked them to keep him the catfish they caught one day so he…
“Tony, we are fixin’ to get hit, here.” said Randy, watching the arches on his graph. “ They are coming up.” Ten seconds later one of the rod tips began to bounce — the bait being taken by a striper “Here we go,” said Randy, as the rod tip crashed into the water. Randy’s brother-in-law…
Lake Burton, with its deep, gin-clear water, has earned the reputation of being a tough bass-fishing lake most of the year. There are two months that are an exception, however, and those months are April and May, according to Wayne Holcomb of Lakemont. “April and May are the two best months on Burton,” he said.…
Jackie Alderman and I had been fishing on Lake Seminole for all of about two minutes when the first fish hit. We had pulled up to a sandbar in five or six feet of water within sight of the Jim Woodruff Dam and had begun to throw a Carolina-rigged Junebug lizard. On his second cast,…
