Southbound And Down, The King Mackerel Are Coming

This is a very special month, no matter what you like to do. Weather it’s just being outdoors enjoying the changing weather, being up in a tree in your favorite deer stand in pursuit of a Georgia whitetail or taking some time to stock the freezer with fresh fish, things just turn plain awesome when…

Cool Weather Trolling For Gator Seatrout

With the temperature on the field in Athens hovering in the mid 90s for a 5:30 GA vs SC nail-biter, it’s hard to imagine water cooling down, but it always does. By Georgia/Florida weekend the boat ramp parking lots up and down the coast will be as packed as the Gator Bowl RV City parking…

Map To Camden County Inshore Saltwater Fishing

Reading an article about saltwater fishing in Georgia generally means learning about catches either off- shore, or around the Brunswick or Savannah areas. Not that that’ s a bad thing, but there are a lot more places to fish along the coast than just those two or three locations. Five counties have a significant piece…

GON Goes To The Savannah Snapper Banks

Capt. Judy was on deck directing traffic —“Bring your line under this one — you guys bring your lines in.” At the center of the commotion on the rocking fishing boat was GON Editor Brad Gill, who had a white-knuckled, death-grip on a pool-cue-sized rod that was bent over the gunnels like he had hooked…

September Inshore Fishing Magic In Christmas Creek

TARPON!” “This ought to last about 2.6 seconds if he bites,” I quipped, as I plunked my seatrout offering, a Saltwater Assassin four-inch Sea Shad suspended under a Cajun Thunder float, in front…

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…
