Missing My Friend Glen Solomon

I still can’t believe my friend Glen Solomon has gone to be with Jesus at the age of just 52. I first met Glen on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 as I rolled into a campground on Chickasawhatchee WMA. We had coordinated a trip together so he could show me a thing or 10 about how…

July Kayak Fishing Stays Hot

Now that July is in the books, it’s time for your July kayak bass tournament recap for Georgia! Three of the state championship clubs hit the water in July—Reel Krazy Kayak Tournament Fishing (RKKTF), Chattahoochee Kayak Anglers (CKA) and East Central Georgia Kayak Anglers (ECGKA). After two events in June, Peach State Kayak Anglers (PSKA) took…

August Is A ‘Get-By’ Month, As Best Days Are Coming

It is hard to imagine how close we are. It’s 95 degrees, and the air is so thick I can’t walk from the front door to the truck without needing a change of shirt. Oh, but the best days are coming, and soon. Someone a lot smarter than me once said a key to life…

Hunter’s Journal: The Rum Creek Buck

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 Kayak Tournaments See Quantity Over Quality

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…

Great Moments, Have To Be 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…

Florida’s New Shark Fishing Regs Includes Mandatory Online Course

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…

Hunter’s Journal: Young Son’s First Deer

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…

Change Is Difficult, But Inevitable

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…
