creeks. Winter action is found deep near main channel
structure using deep diving crank baits, jigs and
worms. Remember that there is no size limit on spot
ted bass in Georgia, which now comprise about 20 per
cent of the West Point black bass population.
Crappie abundance is typical of other large middle-
Georgia reservoirs and has shown little variation over
the years. Average length is eight-to-nine inches,
weighing around a half-pound. About 30 percent of the
population exceeds 10 inches and five-to-eight percent
are "slabs" over 12 inches. The best action is usually
found by trolling jigs in the traditional springtime
hotspots in the upper portions of Beech, Whitewater,
Wehadkee and Stroud creeks.
The excellent reputation for hybrid fishing is due to
a combination of high stocking rates and lake character
istics which produce good survival and growth. Num
bers of intermediate-to-large hybrids have declined
somewhat due to reduced stocking rates from 1990 to
1992 to accommodate experimental stockings of striped
bass.
Stocking rates for hybrids were increased in 1993,
and even better hybrid fishing can be expected for the
next several years. Around 40-50 percent of the hybrid
population is in the preferred 15-20 inch category
weighing two-to-four pounds. Typically, 15-20 percent
are in the lunker class above 20 inches in length. Hy
brids are found in abundance below the shoals at
Franklin in the spring and scattered along the main
river and tributary channels throughout the remainder of
the year.

Insurance, from 7 a
"Insurance is for risks you cannot afford to take, but
any boater can afford to pay another SISO or so for mi
nor boat repairs. In most cases, if your boat is dam
aged, the amount you will save on your premium over
the years will more than cover the cost of the increased
deductible," Atchley said.
Many insurance companies give breaks to those
who complete boating safety courses. Training from
the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power
Squadron usually qualifies boaters for insurance dis
counts. Find out which courses your insurance com

Even though Talton finished
with a low pitch total, he started by
struggling with the breaking ball.
"He didn't have real good command
with the breaking ball in the early
innings," said Brown.
Talton particularly struggled in

threw 22 pitches and allowed the
only Terrell run of the afternoon.
However, Talton settled down. "In

Limited experimental striped bass stockings were
made in 1990 and 1992, and substantial numbers have
been caught. Fish remaining from the 1990 stocking
should reach over 30 inches. White bass are exception
ally abundant and the best fishing is usually found dur
ing the spring in the upper reaches of the Chatta
hoochee River arm at Franklin. Average size is just
under one pound.
West Point is probably the best channel catfish lake
in middle-Georgia and population levels have been high
for the last several years. The typical catfish catch is
composed of 90-95 percent channel catfish and five-to
-10 percent white catfish, with the channel catfish aver
aging around three-quarters a pound.
As on most large reservoirs, bream suffer from
overpopulations and few reach catchable size. Average
length for bluegill is about five inches and the less
abundant redear (shellcracker) average just over seven
inches.
Remember to keep a sharp eye out for tagged fish
on West Point. Although tagging studies were com
pleted in 1993, several hundred largemouth bass and
crappie were tagged during the spring for the past sev
eral years. There is a S 5 reward for the return of each
tag, and the information will be used to formulate
management plans for these popular sport fish.
You can release a tagged fish and still claim the re
ward by clipping the tag off prior to releasing the fish.
Postage-paid envelopes for the return of these tags are
available from marinas, bait shops and boat dealers
around the lake.

"Rig your craft with fire extinguishing systems and
other safety features and you are likely to pay less for
insurance," said Atchley. "Features that deter thieves
may also reduce your premium, so consider installing a
burglar alarm.”
Finally, find out if your boat can be covered as part
of your homeowner's policy. Including a boat in a
home-owner's policy is cheaper than taking out a sepa
rate policy with companies that specialize in boat and
