…….. Yesterday,  I was able to fish with three of my good friends, RatherBfishin, Waderjon and Cajun on a local flow close to my home.  It’s always so much fun to be able to share your weekend doing something you all love so much.  That something is “River Bassin™”!  I was able to capture some of that time on this video to share with you.  Hope you enjoy it!

This past weekend I was called on to host three fine gentlemen from the state of South Carolina on some of our Georgia rivers.  Their earlier plans got canceled because of the recent heavy rains in their home state, causing their rivers to be “blown out”.  This was an excellent opportunity for me to meet some of my fellow “Riverbassin.com” friends I had yet to meet.  The “invaders” were Boyscout (Derek), TygerRiverWalker (Rich), Redfishguide (Jack) and Rich’s dog (Tucker).   Derek and I talked on the phone swapping information about the newly planned trip to Georgia like where and when we would meet up to do the shuttle etc.  Our Friday morning started out with us meeting at MAC’s Grill in Thomaston to eat a hearty breakfast (grits, eggs, homemade sausage and biscuits).  Ummmmmm good!!!!  Their excitement level was high and the anticipation of catching some of Georgia’s Shoal Bass was through the roof.

On day #1  we fished the Flint River which is a site for sore eyes and on day #2 we fished the Ocmulgee River which is one of my favorites!  Come along with us and share in our adventure!  Hopefully you will enjoy yourselves as much as we did!  If the opportunity to host some of your Riverbassin.com friends ever presents itself, you need to take advantage of it.  The rewards of new  friends and the fishing experience together will leave you with life long memories.

Cajun (Roger) and I (Paw Paw) got together over the telephone mid-week last week to discuss the possibility of doing one of the 14 mile floats on the Upper Flint.  Roger thought about it for about a second and a half and the plans were set.  Roger and I made a similar float last year in the heat of the summer and we ran out of water to drink!!!  Don’t ever do that!!!  At the end of our float, I was having mirages of an oasis in the middle of the river with ice chest full of Coors Lites!!!

This is the latest RiverBassin TV episode where Drew guides Tom, from Connecticut, down in south Georgia to catch a shoaliemonster.  I think you’ll find this one entertaining and may even want to hire Drew yourself so he can try and get you on some big river bass as well.

The Flint River literally begins in aqueducts beneath Hartsfield-Jackson airport. Finally around the town of Woolsey it becomes floatable to kayak and canoe fisherman (unless we are in a major drought!). It is home to Georgia’s unofficial state fish – the shoal bass.  Shoal bass were once even called, by some, Flint River Bass. Aside from the shoal bass the river is unique in many other ways. It is also home to the rare and endangered spider lilly and numerous rare species of turtles and mussels. Read the full story
