Georgia is truly blessed to have one of the very best trout fisheries on the east coast. From the creeks of Savannah to the marsh down in St. Mary’s, trout are plentiful and plain fun to catch. From April to mid-December, limits can be had by slinging jigs to creek mouths or soaking shrimp under…
I fish with a lot of people in lots of places working on GON stories, and I’ve been fortunate to fish with some really great anglers throughout the years. Harrison Lee falls into this elite category of anglers, and when it comes to redfish, he is one of the best and most focused anglers I…

Satilla River: Jamie Storey and Ward Highsmith fished the middle river this week, and they said the water was ripping. They found some slack areas and were able to catch a good number of bluegill, warmouth, pickerel and a few bass up to 3 pounds.
