Bass Fishing
For anyone who has fished with Angelo Koundourakis or had a conversation with him, you know it’s impossible to capture him in an article. But for those who have never had the honor of meeting Andy, we’ll try to give you a snapshot of this remarkable man. My favorite Andy story happened in the mid-70s…
For professional fisherman Timmy Horton, certain lakes are analogous to a classroom. They provide all the educational tools to increase an angler’s understanding of certain fishing techniques. For Timmy, Lake Seminole in southwest Georgia is such a teaching environment. Timmy makes a yearly February trip to the impoundment near where the borders of Georgia, Florida…

Big Lazer Creek PFA in Talbot County may be a hidden nugget among PFAs. For most, it’s a little out of the way, but I believe it’s well worth a visit. It’s centrally located on Big Lazer WMA, and it looks like a huge farm pond. The PFA manager is David Craven, and he runs…
Many of us made New Year’s resolutions to go bass fishing more, but some decide to wait to start until the weather warms up and bass start biting better. That’s a mistake. You can go to Jackson right now and catch largemouth and spots. Lake Jackson is a very old Georgia Power Lake, built in…

Georgia Power is drawing down Lake Sinclair about 4 1/2 feet this fall and winter. Plans are for the lake to remain lowered until the end of November. If that makes you worry about fishing there in November, stop your worrying. The bass fishing will be better than it has been in a long while—since…
Jaci Skipper cast her Lew’s baitcaster reel loaded with an Ultra Vibe Speed Worm into a stiff 10-15 mph wind at Lake Eufaula. The worm zipped out as though it was being cast by a seasoned fishing pro. But Jaci is only 17 years old and a student at Rehobeth High School in Dothan, Ala.…
Tristan Thomas and Dakota Crumley from Georgia’s East Hall High School pulled off an unforgettable fishing tournament win on Sept. 26.

They barely edged past two high-school…
