Saltwater Fishing

St. Marys Redfish On The Jetties

It happens each year. Fish move with the seasons. Sometimes it’s a move to spawn; sometimes it’s a move to warmer or cooler water; sometimes it’s a move with the tidal currents. But the irrefutable fact is that they do move. That’s a handy piece of information to have when you are fishing a particular…

Catching Saltwater Shad In The Ogeechee River

With unpredictable weather fronts this time of year, fishing can be iffy. There are, however, fish to be caught this time of year that can’t be caught any other time of year. We’re talking about striped bass, hickory shad and American shad. Specifically, the American and hickory shad are in the heart of their run…

Offshore For Giant Reds

Wassaw Sound is grumpy. Its muttering is clearly audible as the boat sloshes slowly and heavily eastward toward the rising sun and open water. From the looks of things, we’re not going to be seeing much of that sun. Beyond the headland, its trees swaying, the sea and dull gray clouds appear, somewhere far, far…

Catch Satilla River’s Coastal White Catfish

When you think of the most popular fish to catch in Georgia, I doubt a white catfish will be high on your list. In fact, you would probably have to dig deep to even describe what the species looks like… if you know. That is a shame, as the lesser-known whiskerfish is extremely abundant in…

Southeast Georgia Fishing Reports With Capt. Bert Deener – March 28, 2025

By Capt. Bert Deener | March 28, 2025

The reports were as varied as the weather this week. The best reports came from ponds and the Okefenokee Swamp. Saltwater was hit-and-miss. The southeast Georgia rivers are still high but are falling now that the leaves have budded out and the trees are pulling more water. St. Marys River: The Temple Landing is currently closed while the WRD boat ramp crew rebuilds the ramp. The ramp itself is complete, and the crew is working to improve the parking area. The project is winding down, and it should reopen in early April if weather and river levels cooperate (which they are currently not doing). Okefenokee Swamp: Mike and Matt Rouse fished the east side of the Okefenokee on Saturday in the cool, super-windy weather and still caught fish. They had a few warmouth and fliers on black sparkle/chartreuse Warmouth Whacker Jigs. They also caught a couple bowfin by flinging crawfish-brass…
