Beachfront Seatrout

I had meticulously calculated tides, checked sunrise times, and pored over my fishing log trying to choose a time that would maximize our chance of catching the seatrout bite just right to have a triple-digit day. The unknown variable was wind, but I had even rearranged my schedule to allow four days where the tide…

Ready For A Georgia Kingfish Tournament

Tournament—there’s something about that word that gets the blood moving in many anglers. The competition, the recognition, the camaraderie, and the possible winning purse all combine to make tournament fishing something special. Many bass anglers have fished in tournaments, from local club events all the way up to FLW and B.A.S.S. sanctioned affairs. But until the…

Catch Doormat Flounder Under The Docks

Flounder season is here, and the early run of fish in southeast Georgia has some flounder the size of doormats just waiting to be caught. The fish have migrated back inshore from their winter haunts to the sand around nearshore reefs and wrecks. Now is the time to cash in on some hard fighting and…

Red Snapper On The Savannah Banks

For most of us land-locked Georgians who spend our time fishing lakes and rivers, a 5-pounder is a BIG fish. Well, what if there were a place where 5-pounders, and up, are commonplace, and a fish under 20 inches is too little to keep? There is such a place, and though a pretty well-kept secret,…

Saltwater Fishing Georgia Reachable Nearshore Reefs

Lots of Georgia anglers have a desire to go saltwater fishing offshore. Unfortunately, because they think offshore means a 40-mile run, or their boat is too small, they stay inshore. There is good news for those with smaller boats — those in the 18- to 20-foot range. This month you can get in some “offshore”…

Southeast Georgia Fishing Reports With Capt. Bert Deener – Nov. 22, 2024

By Brad Gill | November 22, 2024

There were some really good bites this week, but the strong cold front is going to change things. Some species will be helped with the cooler temperatures and some will be hurt. Factor in the changing river levels, and tides, and it will be a guessing game for this weekend. Congratulations to Michael Deen, of Waycross, for making the TBF National Championship bass tournament and representing Georgia! Okefenokee Swamp: Matt Rouse fished the east side on Friday morning in the cool weather. The first half-hour in the drizzle nothing bit, but as the sun came out and it warmed up, the bowfin started chewing his Dura-Spins. Black/chartreuse was the best color that day. He fished an hour and had two bowfin in the 3- to 4-lb. range and three small pickerel. They made bowfin po-boys for lunch and enjoyed them. Lucy and Chadwick fished with me on Saturday on the east…
