Outdoor Memories Last A Lifetime

I can remember my first time hunting like it was yesterday. “Do you want me to shoot him?” my daddy asked as I sat in his lap and watched the spike buck walk along through the creek bottom. “Yes,” I said, Right after the shot the buck sped off on his death run. Although my daddy…

Overboard Rod Found Half-Mile Away, 19-lb. Striper Still Attached!

With a 36-lb. striper already in the boat, all was going right for Team Skin Deep during a striper tournament at Lanier March 26, 2005. Bryan Jenkins, his wife Anita, and their 17-year-old son Brandon needed a striper to fill out the team’s two-fish limit in North Georgia Fishing’s Big Money Striper Tournament. Victory, however,…

Snake! In the Ground Blind! And I’m Standing On It!

By Phillip Robider I have a small tract of land in Bulloch County with a few ground-level hunting boxes. These boxes didn’t have doors — just some camouflage webbing covering the doorway. My hunting partner Hal Schuman and his adult son, Lee, from Atlanta, planned a morning hunt in November a few seasons ago. Unfortunately,…

Lucas Lake Opens To Public Fishing, GON Was There

Here we were, finally, with a boat in the water and geared for bass, making our first casts into the unknown waters of Lucas Lake. The anticipation we felt was similar to when Black Shoals Reservoir first opened to fishing — both were trolling-motor-only reservoirs that opened to public fishing after years of delays. No,…

Editorial-Opinion May 2005

It is amazing to think of the efforts sportsmen have gone to, and the positive results that appear to be coming from those efforts. The world is different, the world is better, because sportsmen showed up, stood up, and spoke up. Let me give you four examples. The National Park Service (NPS) administers the Chattahoochee…

2005 Georgia Bream Special

It has been said of bream that if they weighed five pounds, they could jerk you into the water. There’s no doubt the voracious little feeders are aggressive and put up a pound-for-pound fight that rivals any fish you are likely to catch. And if you want to have a load of fun in May,…
