Bass Fishing

The tournament was the first event of the 2023 season for the BFL Bulldog Division. Justin earned $5,970 for his victory. Justin’s win came in his first BFL event fished as a…
Lots of different styles of fishing are appealing, but for me, bass fishing a small lake in the early spring is hard to beat. Small lakes, in general, are my favorite, so don’t be surprised to see me biting the bullet and writing quite a few small lake profiles in upcoming issues of GON. Throw…
It’s almost here. Spring is right around the corner. Warmer weather beckons from just a little ways out now, and cabin fever will be cured soon, for several months at least. We’re fortunate here in the South to only be dealt a mild, though still unbearable winter. I have no clue how our northern brethren…
Longer days have Clarks Hill bass stacking up in ditches near spawning areas and feeding heavily on flats near them. This is one of the best months of the year to catch numbers of bass and find a big prespawn female to brag about. No hindsight ip unit displayed. With 72,000 acres on the Savannah…
Cold-water cranking is one of the best ways to get bit in the dead of winter. As the water cools, bass become increasingly lethargic and reluctant to eat.

As the freezing temps settle in across the South, the bass fishing slows down quite a bit. Many anglers trade the rods in for rifles and choose to warm the seat of a tree stand, as they shiver and shake trying to stay warm. Now I’ve done a little deer hunting the last few years,…
Lake Seminole is far enough south that the fall feeding spree you enjoyed up north in October and early November is still in full swing this month. You can catch shallow Seminole bass feeding up during December in a variety of ways, but rather than getting ready for winter, they are already getting ready for…

They won with five bass weighing 17.58 pounds and had big fish with a 4.49-lb. spotted bass. Their weight beat out 17 other college teams, and the win earned them…
