Georgia is home to the world record largemouth bass (22 lbs., 4 oz.) caught in 1932 and the world record shoal bass (8 lbs., 3 oz.) caught in 1977. In fact, Georgia boasts six species of bass—more than any other state. Anglers can reel in different bass species throughout the state, but largemouth are the most popular. Best time to fi sh: Early spring when bass fi nish spawning is the most productive time.

Angler tips: Bass stay in shallow areas and feed aggressively in the spring as water temperatures warm, in deeper water during the hot summer and then return to shallow areas in the fall. Fish for bass from a bank or boat near woody debris and edges of aquatic vegetation beds or above submerged points. Gear/Bait: Effective artifi cial lures are those that imitate minnows and soft baits like rubber worms. Spinning or spincasting combinations are the most popular, but more advanced anglers fi nd fl y fi shing with streamers and poppers effective. Beginner anglers should try using four-inch worms, size 1/0 offset hooks and 3/16 oz. bullet weights.
