If you read my last blog entry, you’re well aware that Jason Alford captured this year’s Georgia Kayak Bass Fishing Championship in October. Jason was kind enough to sit down with me and share his experience competing on West Point Lake and the Chattahoochee River. In fact, Jason shared so much great information that I’m…
Yesterday while trout fishing down around Brunswick, I saw something that is becoming all to common, and for me, it’s down right disappointing. While working our way along a grass-lined bank, we eased past another boat. I watched the man fishing as we went past and couldn’t help but notice a child, maybe 9 or…
This chilly November morning marks one of my favorite Saturdays of the year. As shooting light nears, there are men, women and children standing around tailgates sipping coffee as they adorn orange caps, hunting vests and briar britches. Beagle hounds whine in the box as nearby cottontails and swampers will soon be forced from…
Ever lived in a neighborhood with a homeowner’s association? Thank goodness I don’t. I can’t imagine having someone down the street complaining—maybe even issuing me a fine—because my truck is parked in the yard or because I left my trailer beside the house. Reminds me of a theory.

Be warned, some of y’all ain’t gonna like this one, but what I’m gonna say needs to be said. What in the name of Fred Bear has happened to the hunting community? As I scroll through Facebook looking at deer pics enjoying everyone’s success, one trend is becoming more and more common, and it’s not a…
“Hunting is a contest that you must be present to win.” Wise words from Stacy Frazier, a local taxidermist in my hometown. As a matter of fact, being present is the only way to win. I went to check a trail camera the other day and discovered I had some pictures of a nice deer…
With the Georgia State Kayak Bass Championship coming up in less than a week, you can bet competitors are firmly focused on their planning—from pre-fishing to studying lake maps to reading old GON lake reports. This post is your one-stop for all the information on this year’s event. Before we get into all the good…

Only East Central Georgia Kayak Anglers (ECGKA) and Chattahoochee Kayak Anglers (CKA) took to the water this month, as both clubs held their final events of their season.
