Anglers looking to mix a fishing trip into a family vacation will love the fact they can easily do both in Northern Virginia. Although the fine bass fishing found ...View More Information

The very mention of Lake Eufaula conjures up images of boats silhouetted against the peach blush of a balmy morning, and smiling anglers lifting big bass from the water. The 46,000-acre impoundment on the southern Alabama/Georgia border boasts of being “The Big Bass Capital of the World,” and few would ...View More Information

A variety of species attracts hordes of anglers to Lake Erie near Detroit, but the area has plenty to offer the non-angling members of the family as well. While the smallmouth bass fishing can be fantastic, this section of the lake is actually better known as a world-class walleye fishery. ...View More Information

Pull up the city map of Nashville, and there it is: Percy Priest Lake, tucked against one of the south’s grandest cities. But one would be hard pressed to feel anywhere near a major urban area when out on the water. This beautiful 14,200-acre impoundment is a perfect destination for ...View More Information

The Kentucky Lake region has to be high on the list of a family planning an outdoor vacation. Perhaps it’s the great fishing that might first draw the attention of the anglers in the clan.

For that reason, Georgia’s Clarks Hill region is a perfect vacation destination for fishermen and their families. “Whatever can be done outdoors can be done here,” said Jeannie ...View More Information

Up ahead a squadron of gulls hung in the stiff wind, reconnoitering the water below. Suddenly their simultaneous recognition sent them dive bombing the same spot. A victor would emerge with a few jealous followers, but most of the birds went back to the hunt. There was plenty of food ...View More Information

The big gator slid slowly into the water at our approach. It was one of many the Bass Edge television crew had encountered during its three days on the Chattahoochee River. Earlier in the day a curious otter had made itself available for close-up viewing. The ubiquitous herons fished along ...View More Information
