Fishing Tournaments
Marietta Bassmasters hosted a conservation project at Victoria Landing on Lake Allatoona on Jan. 7. The project was organized in conjunction with fisheries biologists with WRD. Several years ago WRD had several concrete anchor points poured into the lake bed in locations along the shoreline in places that were lacking natural cover. The idea was…
Gainesville anglers David Nichol and Bobby Anderson won the HD Marine and Wendy’s 2010 Camp Sunshine tournament at Lake Lanier on Sept. 25-26. The fund-raising event drew 123 teams. “It was just a slow, deep grind on a Fish Head (Spin), letting it get deep,” said David. David and Bobby, who fished main-lake areas below…
It’s all-around good news for Georgia bass-club anglers. Not only did Palmetto resident Al Horton win this year’s The Bass Federation (TBF) Southern Division championship, but the Georgia team was top team for the June 9-11 tournament at Lake Eufaula. Al Horton and Jeff Williams, of Marietta, now advance to the 2011 Federation National Championship.…

This year’s tournament had 52 teams, and 312 anglers competed. Patrick Brown, of Swainsboro, had the best individual weight with 38.20 pounds. Patrick, along with the other top-12 finishers, heads back to Lake…
When a few warm days finally hit, the fishing at Oconee should bust loose. But as of the Round 3 Lowrance Eliminator Series event on March 5, it had not happened. As it turned out, the eight boaters competing at Oconee for a coveted final-four spot only need to catch a single keeper bass to…
There are some tired fishermen after two half-day Lowrance Eliminator Series tournaments at Lake Sinclair cut the field from 32 boaters to just eight survivors. Those eight anglers will launch tomorrow morning (March 5) along with eight non-boaters as the 2010 Lowrance Eliminator Series continues. Windy, cold conditions all day made for rough fishing at…
Cold, muddy water didn’t bode well for the 32 boaters and their non-boater partners during Round 1 of the Lowrance Eliminator Series tournament at Lake Sinclair this morning (March 4). Somebody forgot to tell 2008 Eliminator Series champ Aaron Batson — and several other anglers who had great half-day catches under rough conditions. Batson anchored…
Mark Cornwell, of Lawrenceville, made his final stop in the 2009 Skeeter Eliminator Series a good one — finishing his season as Eliminator Champion and collecting $5,480 in the 32-man, heads-up fishing tournament. Mark’s victory has him rubbing elbows with past champions Mark Massey, Butch Pitts and Aaron Batson. Fishing topwater baits and drop-shot finesse…
Severe weather forced anglers off Lake Tobesofkee on the scheduled tournament day of March 28, so the state’s best young tournament anglers returned the next day to vie for bragging rights and state-championship honors in the 2009 Georgia Bass Chapter Federation (GBCF) Youth Top-6 Tournament. Youth anglers were paired with GBCF members who provided boats…
