Southeast Georgia Fishing Reports With Capt. Bert Deener – May 23, 2025

By Capt. Bert Deener | May 23, 2025 | 0

It got hot in the afternoons this past week, but the water temperature most places in freshwater is in the upper 70s to around 80. That’s in the range where the fish usually put on the feed bag. There were lots of good reports this week, and you have lots of options for the holiday…

Instead of talking about what areas of the rivers are still high enough to get around, we’re thinking more along the lines of where is still LOW enough to fish effectively! This past weekend’s extensive rains have changed the fishing in most areas. Some areas are still really good, while others are totally washed out…

There were some great reports this week, but now the off and on rains have set in for several days. The different sections of rivers will rise and fall differently and some will muddy up. Guess right and it will be a lot of fun, as the temperatures are in the peak feeding zone for…

The rivers are dropping out, tides are better in saltwater, and fish in ponds, lakes, and the Okefenokee are feeding with reckless abandon. Pretty much pick where you want to fish this weekend, and you should catch fish. Pick right, and you may just have your best trip of the year. Altamaha River: The panfish…

Get ready for some great fishing over the next month as the water warms and rivers drop out to perfect levels. The Okefenokee, ponds and St Marys River are great locations for this weekend, but different sections of some other rivers are getting right. Saltwater tides will be reasonable late this week, but they are…

Springtime fishing is here. Bass are in all stages of the spawn. Early spawners are done and feeding up ahead of summer heat, and some species are just starting to spawn. Fun stuff, but sometimes difficult to pick a bite. If you pick right, it’s a blast! But if you don’t, then it could be…

I’ve not been around a lot this week due to fishing in the Everglades, but the reports I did receive were good. The rivers are getting back down and those bites are heating up at different rates. Guess right and you could be in for a great day! Altamaha River: Seth Carter fished the backwaters…

Fishing is heating up with the current warm-up! The flatwater produced the best reports this week. Rivers are still high but are getting fishable. Alapaha River: The exciting news from the river this week was an Angler Award and new river record channel catfish caught by Christopher Quiggins. He fooled the giant with a minnow.…

The reports were as varied as the weather this week. The best reports came from ponds and the Okefenokee Swamp. Saltwater was hit-and-miss. The southeast Georgia rivers are still high but are falling now that the leaves have budded out and the trees are pulling more water. St. Marys River: The Temple Landing is currently…

Freshwater is heating up in the flat waters. Rivers are still mostly high, but some stretches and backwaters will be fishable soon. The Okefenokee is high, but the bite has still been good. Very few people fished the brine with the strong winds and bigger tides earlier in the weekend. Savannah River: Mark Vick fished…
