Rocks, docks, seawalls, grass—Weiss Lake is full of bass-holding, fun-to-fish structure, and the reservoir can produce good catches of spotted bass and largemouth in August. Weiss is a 30,200-acre Alabama Power Co. lake on the Coosa River. A small part of the upper Coosa is in Georgia, but an Alabama fishing license is required to…
After several Georgia deer seasons in a row that fell below our state’s lofty standards for producing top-end, high-scoring bucks, last year was the rebound season we had been expecting.

I want you to think back to the last time you visited your favorite tackle shop. Now, in your mind, take a quick stroll down the crankbait aisle. I’m willing to bet your mind is overloaded with colors, shapes, bill angles and bold marketing claims on the packages. If you’re just beginning to explore the…
