Saltwater Fishing
This is a very special month, no matter what you like to do. Weather it’s just being outdoors enjoying the changing weather, being up in a tree in your favorite deer stand in pursuit of a Georgia whitetail or taking some time to stock the freezer with fresh fish, things just turn plain awesome when…
With the temperature on the field in Athens hovering in the mid 90s for a 5:30 GA vs SC nail-biter, it’s hard to imagine water cooling down, but it always does. By Georgia/Florida weekend the boat ramp parking lots up and down the coast will be as packed as the Gator Bowl RV City parking…

Congratulations to Michael Deen, of Waycross, for making the TBF National Championship bass tournament and representing Georgia! Okefenokee Swamp: Matt Rouse fished the east side on Friday morning in the cool weather. The first half-hour in the drizzle nothing bit, but as the sun came out and it warmed up, the bowfin started chewing his Dura-Spins. Black/chartreuse was the best color that day. He fished an hour and had two bowfin in the 3- to 4-lb. range and three small pickerel. They made bowfin po-boys for lunch and enjoyed them. Lucy and Chadwick fished with me on Saturday on the east…
