Bass Fishing
If you are looking for an uncrowded lake with lots of spots feeding on rocks and drops, plus a good largemouth bite after a rain, head to Lake Russell. Spotted bass at Russell bite good no matter how cold it is, and if you want to keep some to eat, the lake is overrun with…
A species of Asian carp known for jumping high out of the water when a boat passes or anytime they are disturbed has been confirmed just north of the Georgia state line in Tennessee.

In the third part of our sit down with this year’s Georgia Kayak Bass Fishing State Champion, Jason Alford shares his Day 2 experience on the Chattahoochee River. “We were allowed to launch at 6:30 a.m. It was dark, very dark,” said Jason. “Trying to fish a section of the river I didn’t know in…
For many outdoorsmen, this is just about when our annual depression sets in. With most of the hunting seasons winding down for the year, there’s really not much for us to get into. It’s cold, it’s nasty, and it rains every other day. I reckon we can dive into our honey-do lists before turkey season…
Lake Chatuge spotted bass are feeding heavily in January, eating shad and herring. They follow the same wintertime patterns as Lanier spots, and you can catch them on ditches and rocks. There is also a good largemouth bite at Chatuge after a heavy rain stains the rivers and creeks. Chatuge is a good choice…

Launching at his final pre-fishing ramp, Jason made for his spot. “After a 1.25-mile pedal, I arrived at the mouth of the creek where I planned to start,” said…
“A week, maybe two—six months tops if you’re lucky,” the doctor said. “Lucky?” the man responded. “I’ve never been lucky in my life. Why start now?” “I’m sorry, but your condition is untreatable,” the doctor explained. “It’s too far advanced now. We can’t do much for you except give you some drugs to lessen…
Lake Lanier is known for its magnum spots and a great winter ditch bite. It’s true that in December lots of Lanier bass are moving into the ditches, but they can also be caught on rocky points near the coves, on boat docks, and there are many fish still on main-lake brushpiles. There is a…
While the winter months may not be widely known for exceptional bass fishing, this is actually one of the best times of the year to catch the biggest bass of your life. The spawn is still several months away, but the big females know it’s on the horizon, and they’re hard-wired to start their annual…
