Fishing Reports
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…
The Okefenokee Swamp has been producing some really nice catches for anglers the past couple of weeks, and whether you’re looking to catch warmouth, catfish or jackfish, the time to go is now. Several weeks of wet weather had pushed the fish out in the prairies, and now that the water is receding, the fish…
West Point: Level: 3.5 feet below 635. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: Slightly stained. On April 19, 2025, we had our club tournament on West Point Lake. We started off the morning fishing a shad spawn on some rip-rap that we located back in a creek. We caught several small spotted bass on white buzzbaits along…
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…
Hartwell: Level: Full at 660. Temp: 62-64 degrees. Clarity: Clear except for some runoff in the creeks. The Potato Creek Bass Masters club fished a two-day tournament at Hartwell on Friday and Saturday. Raymond English won with 10 keepers that weighed 32.33 pounds. He had five at 21.41 on Friday, including a 5.77-lb. kicker. His…
The St. Marys River is all but on fire this week, and as long as you have enough gas in the tank to get there, I wouldn’t worry about having enough to come back home! All jokes aside, here’s a breakdown of where to go and what to throw this week on the blackwater. Focus…
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…
Seminole: Level: Full at 77.5. Temp: 69-74 degrees. Clarity: Spring Creek is clear and the rivers are lightly stained. After a nice warming trend the last several days, Lake Seminole is primed and ready for a red-hot bite this week. With the full moon coming Saturday night, each day we edge closer to the weekend,…
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.…
I fished with Chris Edenfield this past weekend for an upcoming GON story, and we managed to catch some really nice bream with topwater bugs during that trip, even though the water temperature was still hovering in the mid to high 60s. Look for the action to pick up heading into the weekend as the…
