Technology is big in fishing and really big in professional bass fishing as Rick has covered Bassmasters events in the past.


1.  New light up lures for night fishing.  - Actiglo Lures  www.actiglolures.com

 

Actiglo's first completed lure is an in-line spinnerbait designed with a three- dimensional blade, weighing .2 ounces that rotates with a strong vibration through the water using a medium to quick retrieve.
The injection molded spinnerbait blades are also sold separately and are offered in several "edge-glow" colors which are luminescent underwater or a clear polymer with either silver or gold aluminum reflective; all having complementing light emitting diode illumination.

Our 2nd offering In development and being tested is our polymer spoon lure with an overall length of 41/4" and weighing 1 ounce with a sink rate in fresh water of 1 per foot per second which replicates the appearance of a dying or injured bait fish.

Our most impressive Actiglo lures being developed will incorporate our polymer lenticular technology in jigs, swimbaits, spoons, and hard bodied lures with true to life interlaced images of the desired bait fish.

Actiglo polymer lenticular lures will imitate the exact appearance of the bait fish providing iridescent scale and fin patterns and will maintain their appearance underwater no matter what conditions they are fished in.
 


You can see Rick's article on the best fishing near Atlanta
http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/top-lists/best-places-to-go-fishing-near-atlanta/


There are hundreds of lakes, ponds, rivers and streams in the state of Georgia that have open fishing all year. With Georgia’s great climate, fishing is popular throughout the fall and into the winter months. Before you go, you will need to purchase a fishing license from Georgia, Alabama or another bordering state. Licenses can be bought online or at an agent in your county. For the state of Georgia, they are available on www.georgiawildlife.com. With more than 500,000 acres of water available for fishing in Georgia, it’s a sport where you can get the entire family involved. Here are places near Atlanta where you have a chance to catch “the big one.”

Great fishing locations in Georgia

It may be croweded to some, but the most popular lake in the state of Georgia is about 30 minutes from Atlanta and stretches 38,000 acres. Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lake Lanier is heavily fished by locals and tourists, but there is still plenty of fish for everyone. If you like catching striper, crappie and walleye, this should be one of your top destinations. Anglers have success with both live and artificial baits, so it’s trial and error to see what is biting. For a complete fishing experience, give Lake Lanier a try.
