Fishing
The clear, cool water of Lake Seed is growing some Alaska-sized brown trout. For the second time in just over a year, the lake record for brown trout has been broken. The latest record-holder is Ricky Vickery of Commerce. On Sunday, June 5, Ricky was on the lake fishing for trout with Cliff Murphy of…
Justin Dooley, of Rayle, could see the giant, 14-lb. largemouth suspended on the top of a log under the bridge at Lake Winfield Scott. This 18-acre lake is in Union County and is federally managed.

Rambling exotic animals have been on the loose in two Georgia counties recently. In early July in Cherokee County, a pair of fallow deer were seen going yard-to-yard in a neighborhood. The two were part of a small herd of fallow deer that were being confiscated by WRD because of a permit violation. Because the herd…
In August of 1975 a man named David Crews invited my father and I to join him on a flounder-gigging expedition to the sandbars of Harriet’s Bluff on the Crooked River in Camden County. It was the first time we had ever heard of such a thing, and for a 13-year-old, a terribly exciting proposition.…

Grandma’s 88 now. Getting a little bored with the garden club. Misses her four “boys,” my uncles and me, all grown and gone — though not far. Sixteen-gauge shotgun shells are getting hard to find. So, it seemed to be a natural fit: I took my reloader and 2,000 hulls over to grandma’s house so…
