Rocks & Docks For Reds & Trout With Miss Judy Charters

Motoring over Lake Sinclair on 441, past Little River and Lakeside landings, drives me nuts. I’m crisscrossing  the Oconee, Ogeechee,…

By Capt. Bert Deener | December 20, 2024

I hope that each of you is having a wonderful Christmas season! It’s been good fishing this week for the few who reported. Altamaha River: The crappie bite was fantastic before water from the rains up-country hit this week. Brentz McGhin and I fished together on Saturday, Dec. 14, in the lower river and caught a bunch of fish. We had about 2 dozen—mostly crappie. Our biggest crappie was 1 1/4 pounds.
