Fishing
A new record for Etowah River striped bass has been established. On July 18, 2015, Hunter Ramsey caught an Etowah striper that was certified at 32 1/2 pounds.
Jared Wagoner, of Cumming, reeled in what most anglers would consider a catch of a lifetime July 4th weekend—a new lake-record flathead catfish of almost 35 pounds. But Jared feels there are many more larger flatheads in Lake Lanier. Jared and friends fished Thursday night, July 2, for roughly two hours, and they caught six…
Modern bows provide the speed to shoot heavier total arrow weights while the archer uses just one sight pin. What a difference from when I got started! The first archery shoot I attended was in the early 80s. The targets were large square bales of straw or cardboard with photos of animals with lines drawn…
Every saltwater angler worth his or her salt knows the best all-around fishing is to be had in either the spring or the fall months. If it’s too cold, fish seem to acquire a case of lockjaw. And if it’s too hot, they seem to just disappear. Well, July is here; it’s hot, and the…
The rod sticking off the back of the boat started to gently wave as though a fish might be messing with the bait, and guide Chad Smith urged patience and said, “Wait for it. Wait for it.” Within a few seconds, the rod doubled down in a deep bend, and a big catfish was on!…

After closing in 2012 due to water draining into the aquifer below and endangering the fish population, the Ocmulgee Public Fishing Area, on the border of Bleckley and Pulaski counties, is set to reopen. The General Assembly recently approved $2.3 million to repair the 106-acre lake. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources thinks it may…
It is the middle of July. The truck thermometer says 92 degrees with the usual Georgia humidity. Deer season is still two months away. Turkey season has been closed for two months. What is there for a hunter to do? Over the last nine years, I feel that I have found a solution to the…
Wow, about dried up! Only a foot or 2 deep, just inches in some places. The far bank a few yards away seems a little deeper. Wading forward until I was knee deep, I still couldn’t see the bottom, which was shaded by the mirrored reflection of a leaning cypress above the shiny, black water.…
