We came to Milledgeville, Georgia for one reason…
Lake Sinclair.

As part of our search for the best fishing destinations in America, we’re not chasing the biggest fish—we’re searching for places that are actually worth traveling to.

Can the fishing justify the drive?

Would we bring our families back?

Would we fish a tournament here?

And, after spending three days exploring the lake, downtown, local restaurants, and meeting the people who call this place home…

Would we come back?

Join us as we put Lake Sinclair and Milledgeville to the test—from sunrise launches, fishing, local food, unexpected discoveries, and our honest verdict at the end of the trip.

If you’re looking for your next bass fishing adventure or a weekend getaway, we hope this series helps you decide where to hook up the trailer and head next.
