The beginning of the month I like to fish rocks and docks in Lick Creek with a 1/2-oz. white spinnerbait. This can produce big bites…
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.

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.

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…
Seminole: Level: Full at 77.5. Temp: 69-74 degrees. Clarity: Spring Creek is clear and the rivers are lightly stained.
