For thousands of Georgia hunters, especially those with a few gray whiskers, many early outdoor memories involve rabbits. They, along with squirrels, were the gateway to becoming a hunter, long before species like deer, turkey and hogs were plentiful enough to hunt. Depending on where the hunter lived, they could possibly encounter one of Georgia’s…
The typical Georgia bass angler isn’t thinking about prespawn patterns for January fishing. But Lake Seminole bass are well ahead of other Georgia lakes, and as the New Year begins, they are already in a hungry, prespawn mood. You can take advantage of this early prespawn mode to catch numbers and quality bass on Georgia’s…
