Red Top Mountain State Park in Cartersville will host a Wilderness Survival School the weekend of February 25th & 26th. Yes, even you can learn to survive in the wilderness. (The wilderness that is outdoors, to be exact. You’re on your own at work and with relatives. Sorry.)

Line-side fishing is good and live bait is working good on down-lines, free lines, and planer boards. The best times for this are early morning and late afternoon. During mid-day, find a point set up over a 30-40 foot bottom and change over to all down-lines. Mid-lake is the only place to be right now and most of the fish caught this week came between 24-30 feet deep.
