Shallow Summer Bass On Weiss

It’s too hot to go fishing in July, and the bass are sluggish and don’t bite anyway, right? Wrong! If you sit home under an air conditioner rather than going bass fishing, you will miss out on some good catches, especially if you go to Weiss Lake. Weiss is a very pretty 30,200-acre Alabama Power…

Record White Crappie From Savannah River

Mike Markovcic, of Statesboro, with a beautiful white crappie he caught from the Savannah River on March 3, 2016. The 2-lb., 13-oz. slab set a new record for white crappie caught and verified from the Savannah River, which for record-keeping purposes is the stretch from the Clarks Hill dam to the Atlantic Ocean. Both white and…

Altamaha River Record Shellcracker

While likely best known for its world-class redbreast fishing and giant catfish, the Altamaha River offers great fishing for a wide variety of fish. In 2016, three new river records were certified by GON for the Altamaha River, including a new mark for shellcracker. Clinton Johnson, of Brunswick, caught a pie-plate redear that weighed 2-lbs.,…

Conasauga River Record Blue Catfish

Chris Swims set a benchmark for Conasauga River blue catfish with an 11-lb. blue he caught on June 15, 2016.

Bucket List Trip For Flint River Shoal Bass

The scenery would almost make you think that you were in the north Georgia mountains fishing for trout. You have everything that you could imagine on such a trip. There is water rushing down a free-flowing river with a gentle roar as it tumbles through the rocks and shoals. The river banks and granite hillsides…

Crawfish Boil, South Georgia Style

This story began in the strangest of places. I was at the grocery store looking for some good fresh crawfish for a low country boil. At the seafood department of the store, I quickly found several packages, and they all had a couple of common and in my book significant problems. Not only were they…

Altamaha River Record Redbreast

Robert Attaway holds the current redbreast record for the Altamaha River with a fish certified at 10.16-ounces. Robert caught the redbreast on June 9, 2016.

West Point Bowfishing

Many of our lakes and rivers are loaded with large, trophy-sized trash fish that no one really cares about fishing for because they are supposedly not that good to eat. Carp and gar are at the top of that list, and even if their taste and table quotient is questionable, they sure are sporting. Just…

Eufaula Bass From Bream Beds To Ledges

All spring we have enjoyed catching bass in shallow water, but June has anglers thinking deep on many lakes. Warming water makes bass head to the deeper summer structure and cover, and following the bass to deeper water is usually the best bet. However, a trip to Eufaula in June can offer the best of…

Tripletail On The Summer Structure

In April of last year, we did an article on catching tripletail off the beach at Jekyll Island. In what most biologists believe is a spawning gathering, these fish float along on their sides just under the surface. It’s sight fishing at its finest, and it happens each year beginning in late March and early…
