Fishing
Ed Lepley caught a 3-lb., 9-oz. white bass on March 9, 2015 at Clarks Hill Lake. The fish set a new lake record for Clarks Hill. Clarks Hill Lake is a reservoir at the border between Georgia and South Carolina in the Savannah River Basin. It was created by the J. Strom Thurmond Dam during…
Hunters across the state of Georgia are pacing the floor waiting for the opening bell to another turkey season. I have been consumed by “The Sickness” that is turkey hunting since the 1980s. It just never gets old for me, and as I approach three decades of turkey hunting in this great state, I can’t…
The Lake Rabun striper record has been smashed with a 39-lb., 14-oz. fish that beats the old record by nearly 20 pounds. The fish was caught on March 4 by Danny Wall, of Lakemont. "It was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time, I guess," Danny told GON on…
Judy Hodnett, of White Plains, stopped by the GON office yesterday with a picture of something strange she found in the woods in January. It was a picture of a 10-point buck that she unfortunately found hanging dead on a barbed-wired fence. Her property borders the new portion of Oconee WMA in Greene County, and…
Lake Allatoona has a reputation for being super tough and very selfish with its quality bass. Some even go as far as to call it the “Dead Sea,” but it is far from that. Hopefully this article will shine some light onto what the bass on Allatoona will be doing as we look at the…
Opening day of turkey season often varies in terms of what can be expected. I have witnessed openers where solo gobblers came running in to the call, piles of jakes were chasing each other and fighting, or groups of hens were by themselves. However, more often than not I seem to witness large flocks of…
Troy Thiel is attempting to tell me how simple it is to catch crappie trolling on Lake Sinclair. “People make it harder… there’s a fish… than it really has to be. All you need to do… there’s another one…” Being interrupted by slab crappie is not a bad thing, even at the beginning of the…

We didn’t publish this as an advertisement for AVIAN-X turkey decoys, but I suspect they’ll sell a few because of it. We just thought these photos were cool, and y’all have learned by now that GON editors like to publish weird stuff that happens in the woods. Chris Huggins, of Newnan, sent us these two…
Bass fishermen wait all year for March. Prespawn bass feed heavily, and on some lakes you can sight fish for spawning bass. There will even be some bass feeding heavily in a postspawn mode, as well. On Lake Blackshear, you can find spawning fish this month, and it is one of our most beautiful, fishy…
