Hot Off the Press! New Black Bass Conservation Tag Now Available

The new Black Bass Conservation specialty license plate is now available to Georgia drivers.

Featuring a largemouth bass leaping from the water, this specialty tag was designed by a Georgia native and avid angler and refined in collaboration with WRD Fisheries staff to ensure scientific accuracy and visual impact.

Revenue generated from the sale of the plate helps fund:

  • Conservation and restoration of Georgia's native black bass species
  • Habitat enhancement and water quality projects
  • Fisheries research and monitoring
  • Hatchery production and stocking of largemouth bass, shoal bass, and other popular black bass species
  • Education and outreach efforts

The plate costs $45 annually — just $20 more than a standard tag. Of that additional fee, $19 supports conservation in the first year and $20 each year after.

Georgia residents can request the Black Bass Conservation specialty plate at their local county tag office.
