Fishing Reports
It all started while trout fishing at Rock Creek in the Blue Ridge WMA on Memorial Day weekend 2008. I had my limit of trout and was riding the back roads looking for places I might want to try and harvest a mountain buck on a future deer hunt. I came upon the local game…
To learn how to trap effectively, the experience of folks who have been doing it is valuable. A great resource is the Georgia Trappers Association (GTA). The GTA will hold its 37th annual convention at FDR State Park, Pine Mountain Sept. 21-22. Coyotes are an invasive, non-native species that has spread to every corner of…
West Point: Level: 0.6 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid to upper 80s. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Fair. Guide Keith Hudson reports, “As the days start to get a little shorter and the temps cool just a little, expect a slow improvement in the bass fishing. A few largemouth and spots are still being caught on…
Weiss: Level: 0.3 foot below full pool. Temp: Mid 80s. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Guide and tournament angler Mike Carter reports, “Lake Weiss has been extremely tough due to the hotter weather conditions.

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The fall fishing has started with redfish everywhere. We caught a limit in 20 casts (15 redfish) yesterday morning (Aug. 22).
