Lakes, from 7A 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.

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.

"He didn't have real good command with the breaking ball in the early innings," said Brown. Talton particularly struggled in the third when he walked a batter, threw 22 pitches and allowed the only Terrell run of the afternoon. However, Talton settled down.

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 auto insurance. it (the breaking pitch) for strikes," said Brown.
