Hey Klombard1!  Welcome to beautiful Coastal Georgia!  The home of  the brave and the land of the free or should I say Ft. Stewart, Hunter Army Air Base, & KingBay Submarine Base.  There's great fishing on Ft. Stewart--some of the best bass & crappie fishing anywhere.  Rivers abound that are full of fish. One runs through the middle of Ft. Stewart.  Hunter & Savannah are on the coast.  Georgia is blessed with a number of  barrier islands that produce great fishing.  I think it was the Navy that built all those bombing towers off shore that offer great fishing for King Mackerel, Amber jack,  etc.  Bottom fishing is a little slow because of new regulations hindering great fishing.  August and September produce huge silver bullets often referred to as Tarpon!!  If you can't find anything else to do Coastal Georgia is the breeding ground for many shark.  I don't know if there are any shrimp any better than Wild Georgia Shrimp which you can catch with cast net or buy off the shrimp boats.  Where else can you get good bait and eat what's left?  I live about half way between Ft Stewart and Hunter on 10 acre lake and would be glad to have you over to fish.  Uncle Tom    Forget about the alligators, rattle snakes, mosquitoes, and sand knats--THEY ARE FREE!  Looking forward to meeting one of America's Finest!

thanks im sitting here at stewart getting ready to inprocess then its off to hunter in 2 weeks or so so maybe ill take you up on that offer. The wife twisted my arm to bring my boat so ill stay outa trouble haha

How do you go about starting up a Chapter?  I'd be interested in being a part of one but I don't do well at traveling a great distance and Georgia is the biggest state East of the Mississippi River.  Uncle Tom  

Uncle Tom, I'm in for getting a chapter going however I know absolutely NUTHIN' about how to start one. So far I haven't seen very many enthusiastic Georgians on the boards. Wish we could juice things up a little!!! I'm north of Atlanta. Seems like the few that are here are spread out all over Ga. If we COULD get something going, seems like middle Ga would be the place to meet....Macon/Warner Robins area...would that work for you??

I'm thinkin about going to the meet in Wis next year, would like to get a group of us to go and represent Ga. Everyone think about going with me!!!! Uncle Tom, I'm sure we could figure out any accomodations/special need you might have if you were interested.......THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT...but the thought is strong!!!

Suggestions and comments are welcome!!!!
Greg

Wgriffin, sounds like a good idea to start a chapter, but I don't know how?  Middle Georgia would be a great place to get together.  My Dad and Son live in that area and I am very familiar with it.  I would very much like to be a part of your group going up North next year.  Uncle Tom  How bout the rest of you Georgia Boys?

Uncle Tom, I guess first things first.....to see if there is any interest. You were one step ahead of me...I also heard about the KY chapter and went there to see if there was any info....didn't find any...how bout you??

im interested

I'm from Canton Ga. I mainly fish Allatoona, or Carters lake. I've hit quit the bad streek here lately, But what does not kill me just makes me a better fisherman. I would love to meet some members and maybe swap some t & t.

OK!  HERE WE GO!  YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE FELLOWSHIP OF GEORGIA FISHERMAN OF
NAFC.  The meeting will begin in the parking lot of Bass Pro Shop in Macon, Georgia on the first Saturday in December, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.  In looking back through some previous posts listed were these names: wgriffin1, klombard1, thestram, bassfisher, murphy186, sentrysam, f.gilmer, erik145, hutt4888, hauntedhillbilly, petergajda, Jason6969, sharpshooter, snakebgtemke, Bugman, countryboy8, Uncle Tom.  I am sure there are others but these were all I could find.  Please let other GA. fishermen know about the meeting.  If you have a friend who is not a member this would be a good time to invite them.  We need everyone possible to attend!  Uncle Tom  Let's make this a memorable moment!  We are counting on your help!

The toona is a beast. You got to know when where and what to through at them. Stamp creek is starting to go on rooster tails.

Thestram, shoot me an email at wggrif@aol.com   I'll send you my tel. #  and we can see about hooking up sometime to fish.....if you would like to. Thanks for the heads up on Stamp Creek. I usually put in there and head over to McKasky (?? on that spelling) or over across from Galts Ferry. I just got back into fishing after a 35 year break from it.....so I'm basicly starting all over again.
I'm also looking forward to the "Chapter" meeting in Dec....   Really hoping we can get something off the ground!!!
Greg

No probablem wgriffin one. I'll shoot you an e-mail to.
