Bass Fishing
Run Lake Jackson seawalls in May to catch lots of spots and some largemouth early in the morning. Some shad should still be spawning on them, and spawned-out shad will still be hanging around the walls. Hitting several seawalls early to find the one they are on is important. The rest of the day you…
My name is Hunter King, and I am 14 years old. I live in Royston, and I caught a 14.5-lb. bass and an 11.2-lb. bass 30 minutes apart in a private 3-acre pond in Hart County on April 8. My friend Ben Jones and I went to a brand-new pond that neither of us had…
For the second time in about a month the largemouth record on the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Bull Sluice has been broken. The latest largemouth record was broken by Joshua Little on March 30, and the bass weighed exactly 8 pounds. Joshua, of Cartersville, was fishing in a Hobie Pro Angler kayak with…
Big Lanier spotted bass are up shallow for the spawn in April, and now is the best time of the year to catch them shallow around rocks, docks and wood. Some bass will be postspawn in April, but many will still be moving in during prespawn and bedding in April. Lake Lanier is a 38,000-acre…

Leave it to some anglers on one of the nation’s storied college bass fishing teams to tap into that good fishing. Trice Cannon, of Dunwoody, is a freshman at Georgia College and a member of the…
As a native of Stone Mountain, I’ve been fishing many of the local lakes and reservoirs for 50+ years. I am primarily a bass fisherman and fished the larger impoundments from a boat, but since purchasing a sit-on-top fishing kayak a few years ago, a lot of opportunities have opened up that are difficult to…
Looking out my front window as I begin working on this story, it’s raining… again. If there has ever been this much early spring rain in Georgia, I’m either too young to know about it, or old enough that I’ve forgotten about it. Bottom line is it’s made for some tough fishing, and I’m ready…
Fish docks and rocks to catch March prespawn bass on Weiss Lake. That pattern may seem too simple, and it can be if you don’t fish the right docks and rocks. Focusing on the prespawn movement of bass will head you in the right direction. Weiss is a shallow 32,120-acre Alabama Power Co. lake on…
