Letters To The Editor July 2019

Watching That Cork Bob Is Great Relaxation    Dear GON, I enjoyed reading the article on Big Lazer WMA. I live about 25 miles from this WMA and fish it when I have time. I have caught some large bream, catfish and crappie there. I am not a bass fisherman. I enjoy watching the cork…

Great Moments, Have To Be There

One of the best moments in Atlanta sports history, I happened to experience in person on a sultry July night in 1992 at the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. We were watching the Braves try to win their 13th game in row. This was the season after the Braves went from perennially last to first in…

Seminar Saturday At Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast

Look, I get that lengthy seminars at hunting shows have been about beaten to death. However, Seminar Saturday at the Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast is different! This joint effort between GON magazine and the Georgia R3 movement is not just another collection of worn-out seminars with the same old topics.  First off, these seminars are…

Panther Puzzle Solved!

Never fails. Once a year. Every year. We run a cover photo of a panther/cougar/puma/somebody’s overfed house cat, and I get the same question lemmemtytwo times for the next month: “Ever seen a panther?” And they ask it with a challenge in their eyes, you know? As in, “We’ve had suspicions of you being a…

Blackshear Bass Shallow In July

There is not a more beautiful lake in Georgia than Blackshear, and right now it is full of quality largemouth feeding around grassbeds, lily pads and cypress trees. Catching shallow bass in July is fun, and Blackshear is a lake where anglers can do it. Lake Blackshear is an 8,500-acre Crisp County Power reservoir on…

Florida’s New Shark Fishing Regs Includes Mandatory Online Course

My first Florida shark experience was during July 2015. My wife and daughters and some family friends vacationed in a quiet little fishing village in the clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We trailered a 19-foot Southern Skimmer flat-bottom boat equipped with a Yamaha 2-stroke with high hopes of catching something. The first few days…

Blackwater Redbelly Slam

A quick flick of the wrist and the underhanded toss sent the tiny spinner sailing under a low-lying bough of a bell-bottom cypress, bumping a root lying at the edge of the black water. A glimpse of the small, gold blade spiraling down and BANG!  The little whippy rod instantly bent to the water, the…
