Each month we turn back the clock to see what was being reported in the pages of GON, both 20 and 10 years ago. Here’s what was happening. 20 Years Ago: April 1991 • Georgia’s Best Bass Lakes: Using WRD Fisheries electroshocking data, GON ranked the best bass lakes in Georgia. We created charts so anglers could…
This month’s recipe matches the home-cooked goodness of a pot pie with mostly canned ingredients which you can easily take to hunting camp. If you don’t roll your gobbler this weekend, just leave the ingredients at camp for next weekend. Gobbler Pie: Wild Turkey Pot Pie 2 wild turkey breasts (diced)1 can cream of…
We don’t use no stethoscopes around here. Ain’t no pokin’ and proddin’ and coughin’ whilst someone checks to see if the tone is just right or maybe if I’m suffering from degenerative dislocated toenail-itis.

However, when they had a photo of a large dog standing on a log, which appeared not to be a coyote, residents began…
Several Georgia kids are getting plugged into the tournament game at an early age. The Fishers of Men Legacy trail offers an excellent platform for a parent and their child to compete in a bass tournament without all the stress that sometimes accompanies higher profile bass tournaments. These adult/child tournaments are taking place in several…
The intellectual dishonesty of the Georgia Wildlife Federation (GWF) continues to be impressive. Last month I ended this editorial noting that the GWF — through its wholly owned sportsman’s facade called the Camo Coalition — objected to the legislature’s plan to treat all specialty tags the same. Somehow “fair-is-fair” for all specialty tags is not…
April is the month when every bass fisherman feels like he or she can hit the water and catch fish. All our lakes are good this month, with bass feeding in shallow water in or near the spawning areas. To experience one of the most interesting shallow-water lakes Georgia has to offer, head to Lake…
