Georgia Sheepshead

A Giant Georgia Sheepshead

A tie is never as good as a win. Well, unless you just caught the biggest sheepshead in the state of Georgia. Angler Ben Golden III, of Midway, is a winner no matter what, as he now has bragging rights for the heaviest sheepshead ever recorded in Georgia.

Illegal Fishing

Illegal Fishing Worse Than Piracy?

Illegal, unreported, unregulated global fishing has led to serious ocean conflicts between countries. Food security for nations can be at stake, leading to continued disputes over high seas fishing. Some nations treat fish as the primary currency they rely on to feed citizens.

Kayak Rods

The Perfect Kayak Rod

To survive in a kayak, a fishing rod must be tough and sensitive. My rods either bang around in my rod holders or lie directly on the wet, sandy deck. Because a kayak constantly bends to the will of wind, waves and current, I find it much harder to work a lure or feel a bite.
