 Lake Lanier Bass Governor Sonny Perdue has announced a program called “Go Fish Georgia” that would set aside $19 million to:
- Develop a bass trail along 15 sites on Georgia’s major rivers and reservoirs
- Lure visitors from fishing havens in other states
- Grow the fishing industry in Georgia that currently employs 9,000 people and add a billion dollars to the economy annually.
- Land more lucrative fishing tournaments.
- Build “mega ramps” will help the state compete for the mammoth televised competitions that can generate as much as $20 million each.
