Fly anglers are a funny bunch in that, among other reasons, they refer to natural occurrences as events. Where an NFL fan might say to his buddy, “We should get some people together to watch the Super Bowl,” or where an American Idol addict might suggest to her friends, “Let’s all get together for the…

Each year, millions of patients are diagnosed with one of the thousands of physical and psychological disorders and syndromes; some serious, some not so serious, some affecting significant numbers and others not. One such disorder that you won’t find in any of the major medical journals, despite the fact that it can be observed alongside…
At the mouth of the St. Marys River on the Florida-Georgia border, a wide dredged channel runs east into the ocean for about a mile. It is a deep channel, one that allows part of our nuclear submarine fleet access to their port at Kings Bay. On the north and south of the channel, jetties…
Spring crappie fishing is supposed to be as easy as falling off the proverbial log, right? Well, for a few glorious weeks on Heath Lake at Rocky Mountain Recreation and Public Fishing Area (PFA), it is. When the crappie move into the lake’s shallow timber coves to spawn, catching them is as easy as casting…

April is an amazing month on Georgia lakes with bass on most any pattern you want to fish and large numbers of them are up shallow and feeding. Lake Walter F. George, also known as Eufaula, offers one of your best bets to…
There’s a new family on Lake Allatoona, and I’m not talking about the Johnsons from Cincinnati who just bought that cottage in Yacht Club Cove. This family is more like the one on the Sopranos, but without the track suits, pinky rings and certainly without the penchant for hurting people. Putting the hurt on Allatoona…

In the southeastern part of our state, the stability brings the panfish to the shallows for their first spawn. Whether chasing bluegill, redbreasts, shellcrackers, fliers or warmouth, you can find a lake or river in southeast Georgia where…
Last April, Mike Harris of Watkinsville was fishing an R&R tournament at Lake Oconee with his 16-year-old step-son, Travis Mulkey. “It was the third tournament he ever fished; he’d didn’t catch a keeper in the first two,” said Mike. On a windless morning, less than 30 minutes into fishing, the team had made a run…
Larry Cross, of Buford, was feeling down right puny on the Friday I met him. Nauseous, headache, feverish, he had all the symptoms that would eventually put him in the bed for the entire weekend. “Man, I’m ready to go fishing,” was one of the first things he said when I met him at his…
