Nope. Georgia is not the West. But trout fishing in Georgia is not unlike the West… where nimble fly-rodders test technical skills on small, wild trout streams. Where trolling for large lake-bound trout is executed with electronic aids and flashy rigs. Where driftboats carry anglers over long river glides and rocky shoals. Where dams pour…
Bass fishing is fantastic on all our lakes in April, but you should consider a trip to Bartletts Ferry, also known as Lake Harding. The bass on this small lake are up shallow in pockets and creeks, with some fish spawning and others ready to go on the bed or feeding after spawning. You can…
The old favorite methods still work in any Georgia waters, but if Southern crappie anglers want to catch more fish, they might want to get on board with a northern walleye technique—and that’s the “planer” truth! “Planer boards are fairly new to crappie fishermen, but the technique has been around for a long time,” commented…
