Fishing Reports
I grew up hunting deer and other small game and always dreamed of getting a chance at a bear. When the one-day bear season in middle Georgia started last year, I knew I had my chance. I’ve hunted with my brother-in-law Chad Proctor in Twiggs for the past five or six years and have collected a ton…

Sinclair: Level: 0.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 52-54 degrees. Clarity: Stained to heavily stained.Bass: Aaron Batson reports, “Bass fishing is improving.

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “March is the month that all fishermen and fish have been waiting for.
