Getting Into Fishing

[AK74U]

So, I haven't been fishing since Cub Scouts (I Know!). Looking to branch out this year and expand my hobbies since I'm not at the range much anymore. Can anyone tell or help a guy out with some good fishing spots. Would like to start at some catch and release places first. Then start catching some competition winning bass!! Thanks Guru's!! I know the first order of business is fishing license!

idk where in Atl you are but I have an old 2-acre farm pond with bluegill and bass. not opening it up for a free for all (tired of picking up other people's trash) but I'm in Stockbridge if you want to try catching some breamacudas sometime. Me and the wife like using light tenkara rods to catch them.

At age 65 you can purchase a “lifetime” fishing license for $35 o GA.

I'm pretty certain i gave 500$ for a lifetime 'sportsman's license' in 2003. Before then I was paying about 40$ a year into different license. Even at the 750 price tag now (for 16–49-year-olds) it's still a great deal IF you hunt and fish.

I hang out in Stockbridge every so often. Just let me know what the fees and the rules are. Thanks for your hospitality and help.

If you're interested I'm going to try to do the trout stream meet and greet again this year. Camping and fishing for 2 days.

All of the PFA’s that I’ve been to have pretty good fishing.
