Eric Schimpf has over 20 years of experience in investment management and enjoys fishing for bass in Georgia, which is known for its largemouth bass fishing. While bass are less active in winter, fishing opportunities exist year-round in Georgia's abundant waters, such as Lakes Allatoona, Chatuge, and West Point, which contain bass and offer the chance at a record-breaking catch. The state's 10 public fishing areas provide clean facilities for family outings and have been tested for pollutants, and bass can still be caught in winter using slow-moving jigs and plastic worms near the bottom.
