George T. Bagby
State Park & Lodge
in Fort Gaines
Hey guys! As spring quickly approaches, I want to
start this week by featuring some of my favorite State
parks. If you're looking for a new boat angling spot,
George T. Bagby State Park & Lodge is your place.
There are numerous boat ramps located throughout,
and you can get by with even kayaks or canoes. This
lake has great Largemouth bass and crappie fishing
opportunities. Area biologists also say catfish and
hybrid fishing can be extremely good throughout the
area. Hybrid schools are located at different areas
and times. I have often caught them by trolling baits
until I find them and then cast or use live bait from
there.
And let me say, the surroundings along with the
views are amazing.
It is also a great place to take the family. There is a
full-service marina, and a scenic 48,000-acre lake
that is home to trophy catches. Enjoy championship
golf at Meadow Links, noted by Golf Digest on its
opening as America's sixth best new affordable
public course.
For families, there is a nature trail, a private
swimming pool, beach, tennis courts, beach
volleyball, canoe rentals, picnic shelter and more.
The lodge is in the heart of the George T. Bagby
State Park, covering hundreds of acres in Georgia's
relaxing rolling hills. Enjoy classic Southern cooking
in the Pilot House Grille restaurant.
Not to mention, they feature an outdoor pool that
can be an oasis for the entire family.
George T. Bagby State Park offers Military discounts
and is located at 330 Bagby Pkwy.
Fort Gaines GA 39851. And their daily park pass is
only $5.00.
Happy Trails and great fishing!

Mystery Surrounds
Arrival of Passenger
Train in Millen
-Warren Buffett's Connection to Augusta
Passenger Train Sparks Interest
A veil of intrigue descended upon Millen last week
as residents found themselves abuzz with speculation
following the unexpected arrival of a passenger
train. Amidst a flurry of conjecture and theories, one
tantalizing notion emerged, linking the enigmatic
train to none other than investment mogul Warren
Buffett. It is a well-known fact that the billionaire
investor maintains a passenger train stationed at
the rail yard in Augusta, purportedly reserved for
entertaining guests during the prestigious Masters
tournament.
While details surrounding the arrival and purpose
of the train remain shrouded in mystery, the notion
of Buffett's potential involvement has captured the
imagination of locals, and enthusiasts alike.
