Chasing Giant Catfish

Anglers can’t just launch into a river or lake, throw out a few baits and expect to catch a monster whiskerfish, although that can happen. To fish specifically for giant catfish, anglers must first find them. Even outstanding catfish waters like the Altamaha River, Lake Oconee or the Satilla River (see page 14) only hold…

Lake Jackson Photos Reveal Giant Slabs From 1971

The crappie fishing on Lake Jackson 48 years ago on Easter weekend may have been the best ever reported, anywhere in this state and at anytime! In fact, it’s very reasonable to speculate that during a four-day fishing trip from April 10-13, 1971, amongst a trio of brothers, at least one state-record crappie, maybe two,…

Wild In The Kitchen: Spatchcocked Smoked Wild Turkey

When I saw someone showing how to spatchcock a turkey on the show “Man. Fire. Food,” it made perfect sense. You simply take poultry shears to a whole bird and cut out the backbone and toss it away. You then flip the bird over, push hard with the palm of your hand to flatten it.…

Seatrout In The Sounds

I had a charter cancel at the last minute, but the trout were biting. The boat was loaded and ready to go, and I had the rare chance to go fun fishing by myself and to do it when the conditions were right.  It was a beautiful May morning as I went across the sound.…

Small Lake Profile: Big Lazer Creek PFA

Big Lazer is one of those fishing places we should all visit more often. It’s only about an hour’s drive from my home in Warner Robins, but it’s probably a good thing that it’s not closer. If it were a quick trip, I would feel compelled to fish it every day—and I’d never get anything…

Black Drum, Sheepshead, Redfish, Sharks & More In May

The month of May along the Georgia coast is an exciting time for anglers. Longer days and warmer temperatures mean some of the most beautiful days you’ll see during the year. In addition, the angling activity really begins to heat up.  May is a transition month as summer patterns begin and new species of fish…

WMA Coyote Hunting Options In May

WRD is once again allowing coyote and hog hunting with big-game weapons May 16-31 on most WMAs. In fact, you can consider a WMA open for this special season unless stated otherwise in the hunting regulations booklet. “The May season is a direct response to hunter desires—they want a chance to use big game weapons…

Next-Level Scouting For Mature Bucks

Last September, I was easing my truck down the dirt road of a west Georgia WMA after a very hot and unproductive bowhunt when I saw a group of bucks feeding in a field off the side of the road. Instantly my mind turned to their location, where they came from and how they got…
