We just thought evening pop-up thunderstorms could blow out a river. And they can! But, a tropical storm that spins and rains for three days isn’t even in the same ballpark as scattered thunderstorms! The gauges on the lower end of ALL the coastal plain rivers in southeast Georgia were record high flows for the…
It’s evident that the dog days of summer are here and kids are about to start back to school. The number of reports dropped this week, but the catching has still been good for those who went. The rains have blown out most rivers for this week, so concentrate on ponds, the Okefenokee Swamp and…

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “August is a good time to watch the sinking of the cork.

Russell: Level: Full pool at 475. Temp: Upper 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Kerry Partain reports, “The bass fishing has been a little slower, but they have transitioned to their summer pattern and are a little more predictable as they relate to big pods of bait in the deeper water. We have been catching good…
Oconee: Level: Full at 435. Temp: 87-90 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Nick Knapp, with Elite Guide Service, reports, “I look for the deep bite to continue through this month.
