Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “Well, if you have been following my fishing reports, you already know that this year’s cold-water spotted seatrout bite was very good both early 2024 and 2025.

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…
