Chilly Start Another spring has wrapped up and with that comes crayfish stocking. This spring was odd and it even continued into our stockings.

Late Season Electrofishing in East Georgia
Bass Harvest…..it never stops The pond being electrofished today has a common problem that not many property owners think about but something we see often.

Lake Aeration in Jackson, Georgia
Aeration and lake liming are two lake improvements that generate the least amount of enthusiasm from clients. Unlike fishing stocking where there’s instant gratification of seeing 10,000 bluegill go into the lake, seeing 800 meters of weighted airline sink into the lake is a big let down. However, subtle improvements are the difference between phenomenal […]
