With early warm weather, you can bet that across the state some really big bass are spawning. Be it big largemouth on Seminole, feisty spotted bass on Lanier or any lake or pond in between, this is without a doubt the best time of year to land both numbers of fish and trophies. The only…
March ushers in the long-awaited first week of spring, but weather this month is capricious at best—and cussed at worst. Juggling schedules while attempting to pick out that sure-fire good day on a lake like Sinclair can be a roll of the dice in March. So what’s a fisherman to do? Just go, grin and…
It’s a well-known fact that Georgia has some of the best early spring reef fishing for sheepshead along the Atlantic Coast. Virtually every nearshore reef is loaded down with huge convict fish that are ready to do battle, and March often yields some of the largest fish of the year. For Robbie Hullet, of Waycross,…
Bass in most of our lakes are moving toward spawning areas by the first of March, but Lake Seminole is as far south as you can get in Georgia. Some Seminole bass have already spawned, some are spawning now, and some are just off bedding areas ready to move in and fan beds. You can…

It was shortly after opening day of fishing season, and I spied a successful fisherman walking up Main Street with his fly rod in one hand and a massive trout in the other. “Walking” does not do…
Blake Buchanan, of Ball Ground, is an avid bass fisherman and spends a good bit of time on the water. “Thanks to my work schedule, I get to fish two to three times week,” said Blake. “I decided to take one of my normal fishing trips to Lake Lanier yesterday (Feb. 22). I got on…
Clarks Hill bass will soon be moving up and staging for the spawn like they always every year in late February as early March do as water temperatures warm.
