Catch a Tagged Bass, Earn Prizes at Paradise PFA: Beginning February 2025, Paradise PFA is conducting a largemouth bass study. Fisheries staff is tagging bass (1 to 2 tags possible on a fish). Anglers that return tags are eligible to receive a custom ball cap and can be entered into a drawing for a Yeti cooler at the end of the study (Feb.-March 2026). More info about tagged bass and angler participation can be found at GeorgiaWildlife.com/catch-tagged-bass-when-you-go-fish-georgia-paradise-pfa-and-earn-cap.
Catch a big fish at a Public Fishing Area and you may be eligible for an Angler Award or even a PFA Record award. Learn more about Angler Awards.
