Fishing
Bass fishing can be tough everywhere in August, but anglers can head to Lake Sinclair and hit the right docks and points for some action. Tie on a couple of different baits, fish early and late to beat the heat, and enjoy a good catch of August bass. Lake Sinclair is an old Georgia Power…
Camden County: Several Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in Georgia have special antler restrictions. One of those WMAs with quality-buck antler minimums is the relatively new 27,000-acre Ceylon WMA in southeast Georgia south of Brunswick. Firearms deer hunting at Ceylon is by quota only, and a buck is only legal if it has four points on…
Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others. Some months we’ll receive hundreds of pictures of happy hunters and anglers every year who just want to share their accomplishments. We are truly blessed that so many loyal Georgians think enough of GON to share with us about what they’ve accomplished.…
The phrase “Dog Days” doesn’t quite describe what’s going on in Georgia this month. I just took a quick glance out of my kitchen window at the thermometer that hangs on the corner of my back porch, and at roughly 2 in the afternoon, it’s clocking in right at 97 degrees—in the shade! Even a…
The year was 1994, and folks in middle and south Georgia still talk about it. Tropical Storm Alberto stalled over Georgia, dumping incredible amounts of rain and causing destructive flooding. Here are a few examples of what the state looked like 30 years ago after the flood hit. Lake Blackshear: Nowhere did sportsmen see the…
Papa says I have the biggest imagination he’s ever seen and that I see things in the woods that aren’t really there… like big ol’ gnarly bucks, for instance… Now I was wondering if that was true. It was opening day of gun season in October, and I wanted to see a big buck in…
You never know what you’re going to catch when you head out into the magical waters of the Georgia coast… and apparently you never know how you’re going to catch it either. You’ve heard of fish jumping in the boat, right? Now a big, tasty red snapper would be welcomed, but there are some fish…
GON’s WMA Special is the only place in the world to look for easy-to-read tables and charts designed to guide Georgia public-land deer hunters for their upcoming seasons. In this year’s WMA Special, we have deer-hunting stats on 100 pieces of public-land dirt. Top quota and non-quota bonus deer hunts from last year are listed…
One of the great outdoor opportunities in Georgia is the abundance of hiking and biking trails. They’re a great way to enjoy the scenery, see wildlife and stay in shape. It’s important to be in strong physical condition throughout the year, and it pays off throughout the upcoming hunting seasons. Although the weather this summer…
Don’t mess with fishermen—especially the bass tournament crowd. A pair of anglers in a July 12, 2014 bass club tournament at Banks Lake bought an 11 1/2-lb. bass and presented it for the weigh-in. They might have even gotten away with it, but apparently the agreed-upon price for the fish changed when the pair didn’t…
