Is GON-TV Back? Dear GON, I saw an email blast from GON with a link to an old GON-TV episode, and it reminded me that I was interviewed on an episode of GON-TV in 2000 as a junior shooter at the GA State ATA Trap Shoot. I think it was spring or summer of 2000…
Somehow, somewhere along the line, the whole video game thing managed to pass me by. Guess there were better things to do with my metacarpus at the time. Making a living, for example. But after a day on Clarks Hill Lake looking for—and AT—bunches of crappie with Troy Thiel, I could easily find myself working…
Woody Coffee had no concept of the sleeping giant he was about to awaken when he launched his “Woody’s Taxidermy Campfire Talk” message board in 2001. For him, it was a simple way to stay in touch with his customers. Facebook would not come on the scene until 2004, and other than a message board…
By John Henry Spann My family and I have been lucky enough to carve out a little piece on nature and tranquility in the north Atlanta suburbs. Growing up in Americus, the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and the seemingly endless suburban sprawl were a difficult adjustment for me. After attempting the cul-de-sac life for…
Burton: Level: 4 feet below full pool. Temp: 44 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Capt. Wes Carlton reports, “The bass bite has been strong the last few days.

On the main body, look for sunny, rock bank…
Fish docks and rocks to catch March prespawn bass on Weiss Lake. That pattern may seem too simple, and it can be if you don’t fish the right docks and rocks. Focusing on the prespawn movement of bass will head you in the right direction. Weiss is a shallow 32,120-acre Alabama Power Co. lake on…
Sinclair: Level: 0.5 feet low. Temp: Water temps are 48 to 49 everywhere, but a few sunny days will warm the shallows quickly. Clarity: Muddy above the railroad trestle, muddy to stained down to Little River Marina and clear near the dam. Expect the lake to remain stained for the next several weeks with the…
Russell: Level: Full pool. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Clear on the main lake and stained in the creeks. Bass: Tournament angler Kerry Partain reports, “The bass fishing has been good the last few weeks and should continue to get better with warmer weather. Most of the bass are being caught on main-lake points and pockets or…
Oconee: Level: 0.1 feet low. Temp: Mid 40s. Clarity: The lake is muddy up both rivers, and the lake is stained down toward the 44 bridge. The stain should continue down the lake to at least Great Waters. The dam is still clear with stain above the Armor Bridge boat ramp. Bass: Tournament angler Karl…
