Bass Fishing
If ever there was a spring to be thinking ahead, it’s probably this one. It’s not supposed to be 85 degrees in mid March. There’s not supposed to be this much pollen this early, and I can’t ever remember the woods being quite so green before turkey season started. However, Aaron Batson, of Oxford, has…
Two 18-year-old tournament anglers from Peachtree City can arguably call themselves two of the top-10 high school bass anglers in the nation. When McIntosh High School seniors Dalton Anderson and Dawson Lenz started a school bass club their sophomore year, there’s no way they could have known it would take them this far. On April…
Marietta Bassmasters hosted a conservation project at Victoria Landing on Lake Allatoona on Jan. 7. The project was organized in conjunction with fisheries biologists with WRD. Several years ago WRD had several concrete anchor points poured into the lake bed in locations along the shoreline in places that were lacking natural cover. The idea was…

Down in the southwest corner of the state is a lake revered by locals and worth the drive for bass anglers statewide.

Lake Eufaula is a legendary bass lake, and GON was fortunate to talk a legendary bass fisherman, Jackie Thompson, into revealing the best ways to catch bass on the lake right now. Jackie even marked a map with 10 late-fall, early winter hotspots to get you going for a good day of catching bass. Eufaula is…
Rick Gasaway, of Woodstock, and David Millsaps, of Ranger, put together plenty of weight to capture their second straight championship title in Highland Marina’s Georgia State Championship. They were also crowned the 2010 Georgia State champs, meaning they are the only team to ever win back-to-back titles. First place this year was $35,000. “You got…
In the northeast corner of the state, just a few miles as the crow flies from both Tennessee and South Carolina, you’ll find a beautiful little lake sitting snug in the mountain tops. With only 25 miles of shoreline and 835 acres dam to dam, Lake Rabun is not a real eye catcher if you…
It happens every few years. A new bait hits the bass-fishing world that fishermen go crazy over. Many are fads that fade quickly. Others become a standard in bass boats. The Alabama rig exploded on the scene a few weeks ago. Only time will tell if this is a flash in the pan or becomes…
Fishing can be great in November. As the water cools, the bass get very active. They are feeding heavily to get ready for the winter, and fish can be caught a variety of ways. Lake Oconee is one of the best lakes in Georgia to take advantage of this fall feeding spree. Lake Oconee is…
