My Review on the Zebco 33


I think the zebco 33 is a great bait caster. It is durable and it is a reel that you can buy for all ages. It is very easy to use all you have to do to cast it is push and hold the button down and cast it. To stop the line all you have to ldo is release the button and the line stops. It also is a very versatile reel that can be used to catch brim, bass, crapie, and even catfish. I know this because i personly have used it to catch catfish bass and brim since i was a small boy. So I think you will enjoy this reel no matter how old you are.

How to Hook a Plastic Worm

Step one is to push the point of the hook into the center of the worm and go about one-half of a inch in. Step two is to push the hook out of the worm about one-half of a inch behind the worms head. Step three is to pull the hook through until the eye of the hook vannishes into the worms head one-fourth of a inch. Then rotate the worm until the hook is pointing up. Step four is the last step. All you have to do is to put the point of the hook to the worm. Then hold the worm firmly and push forward on the hook until the point of the hook is inserted into the worm past the barb. When it is properly rigged the worm should be straight.

Top Ten Bass Lakes in Georgia

1. Clark's Hill Lake

Bass fishing is good year round here but is great in the spring time when the blueback herring come here to spawn.



2. Lake Hartwell

It is good to use crankbaits in the creeks during the fall, and jigging spoons and bucktails are an excellent lure to use on the lower lake during the winter.



3. Lake Oconee
The docks on Lake Oconee hold fish year round and it is best to use plastic worms around them.




4. Lake Sinclair

Just downstream of Lake Oconee, this is a great lake in the winter due to the warm water discharge from a power plant. Carolina rigs are good to use year round on points.



5. Jackson Lake

Jackson Lake is one of the oldest lakes in Georgia. I suggest to try docks and points during the summer and backs of coves in the spring.



6. Lake Lanier

It's clear waters help make this lake good for bed fishing.



7. West Point Lake

During the wintertime it is good to find deep brush and jig a spoon around it.



8. Bartlett's Ferry
During the fall and spring try boat docks and use plastics and crankbaits. Also topwater lures are good to use around 9 months of the year there.

9. Lake Eufaula

Fish topwater from the late winter time to the late spring time.

10. Lake Seminole
The bass here often spwn in Jan. and Feb.

March Fishing in South Georgia


Its never too cold, dark, rainy, hot, or windy to go fishing! Fishermen love the south this time of year. While there is still snow and ice up north, azaleas are blooming and fish are biting in south Georgia. Whether you like bass, crappie, or catfish, the south is where you want to be in mid to late March especially south Georgia. Georgia has at least 28 public lakes, rivers, and other fishing holes. We hold the world record on largemouth bass which is probably the most sought after fish in the U.S. So if you are ready for a trip down south to warmer climates where the fishing is great, grab your gear and come on down!

Casting, Flipping, and Pitching Jigs


These are baits you use in deep water around structure. You can fish them around trees, docks,rocks, bridges, or boats. If you can find structure you can fish it with a jig. When you cast, flip, pitch most people fish them slow not covering much ground.Sometimes you can fish them on points, river channels, or estuaries. Different models come in may shapes and sizes. You can get them heavy or light and in football or shaky head style.
