Saltwater Fishing
Anyone who knows me is aware of my addiction for catching fish on a BreamBuster pole. For me there is no better fight than with a simple pole and line combination. So, when I heard of how Dereck DeLoach, of Waycross, uses his BreamBuster to boat sheepshead by the cooler fulls, I knew I had…
Dale Earnhardt was born to drive a race car, as was Peyton Manning to throw a football, and for Jimmy Crews, of Waycross, well his niche is to put flounder in the boat by the dozens. Jimmy has spent the last 40-plus south Georgia summers chasing these tasty flatfish, and along the way, he has…
My buddy Ryan Maloy and I were running my boat back up the Aucilla River, hoping to make the boat ramp before darkness set in. It was late in the afternoon, and the tide had gone out some, making the river a bit more treacherous than usual. We were tired, salty and grimy from a…

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.
