By Adam Reas So I was picked to go on the November rut hunt at Rum Creek WMA, which was a three-day hunt Nov. 9-11. I went up to Rum Creek on Wednesday, Nov. 8 and camped for three nights, but rain was in the forecast on the night of Nov. 11. I decided to…
June saw the state’s kayak clubs return to some of their favorite waters as the fishing heated up across the state—and over into Alabama. The Ocmulgee, the Coosa, the Flint and Bama’s Lake Guntersville were all trail stops for the anglers vying for a spot in this year’s state championship. Speaking of this year’s championship,…
By Sheena Wilson I have been hunting for many years alongside my dad. Last August, I embarked on an alligator hunt, something I have been trying to do for six years. We started our journey on Friday morning, Aug. 17. We decided we would take our motor home, and we were planning on getting there…
One of the best moments in Atlanta sports history, I happened to experience in person on a sultry July night in 1992 at the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. We were watching the Braves try to win their 13th game in row. This was the season after the Braves went from perennially last to first in…
My first Florida shark experience was during July 2015. My wife and daughters and some family friends vacationed in a quiet little fishing village in the clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We trailered a 19-foot Southern Skimmer flat-bottom boat equipped with a Yamaha 2-stroke with high hopes of catching something. The first few days…
By Blake Brantley I have been an avid hunter for as long as I can recall. I grew up hunting deer, ducks and dove all around south Georgia with my father. Some of my fondest memories with my dad are of our trips to Lake Seminole to hunt ducks with Jack Wingate. I killed my first…
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Most of us have heard that saying. Well, I’m not buying it anymore. The phrase is credited to a 19th century French writer, Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. Most bios on Karr mention his love for fishing, so we will give him credit for that. But that…
If May had a theme for kayak bass tournament trails here in Georgia, it would have been “Go big or go home.” We kicked off the month with a big three club event. We ended the month with three big stringers of largemouth vying for the win. Just how big? Read on. The tournament month…
Lake Hartwell was clear last weekend, May 11, 2019, as high school anglers competed. The water temps were hovering in the mid to upper 70s in the main lake and upper 60s to lower 70s in the upper end in the Tugaloo State Park arm of the lake. The fishing on Lake Hartwell is good…
The crappie fishing on Lake Jackson 48 years ago on Easter weekend may have been the best ever reported, anywhere in this state and at anytime! In fact, it’s very reasonable to speculate that during a four-day fishing trip from April 10-13, 1971, amongst a trio of brothers, at least one state-record crappie, maybe two,…
