By Don Cheek I am 73 years old now and I’ve been a hunter since I was 8 years old, but I had the hunting thrill of a lifetime on Nov. 21, 2021. My regular hunting partner of more than 40 years, John Patton, and I had been seeing a massive-racked buck that looked to…
Weiss: Level: 3.2 feet below 564. Temp: 55-57 degrees. Clarity: Heavy stain. Multiple Species: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Bass fishing is poor, and they are still on the creek and river channel ledges. Deep-running crankbaits and Carolina rigs are catching fish. A lot of bass are starting to move shallow on secondary points. Crappie fishing is…

Bass: Guide Jimbo Mathley from Jimbo’s Lake Lanier Spotted Bass Guide Service reports, “While the outside elements are not always…
Blackshear is full of tempting targets. Cypress trees run for miles, and there are grassbeds everywhere. But in January, anglers should bypass that good-looking cover and look instead for rocks near deep water to catch Lake Blackshear bass. You don’t have to run all over the lake to find rock if you know where to…
The temperature was a crisp 38 degrees, the wind was still, and the skies were partly cloudy as the sun rose across middle Georgia for the annual one-day bear hunt in Houston, Twiggs, Bibb and Bleckley counties. The good weather meant the bears should be moving, and Sam Land, of Swainsboro, was patiently sitting in…
