Georgia Fishing Report | Striped Bass Fishing Year Round

Channel Catfish

Hey everyone, just wanted to share an awesome fishing report from this morning's trip. I had an absolute blast out on the water with Clay Cunningham and Keith MacKinnon. We had some fantastic luck today, reeling in a real stud of a bass weighing in at a whopping 21.9 pounds! It was such an exhilarating battle, and we were all thrilled with the catch. But that's not all! We also managed to hook a bunch of other bass, a few stripers, and even a catfish. It was a successful and action-packed outing, and I want to express my gratitude to Clay and Keith for joining me on this fantastic fishing adventure. Can't wait for our next trip together!
