Fishing Reports
There were some great reports this week, but now the off and on rains have set in for several days. The different sections of rivers will rise and fall differently and some will muddy up. Guess right and it will be a lot of fun, as the temperatures are in the peak feeding zone for…
The rivers are dropping out, tides are better in saltwater, and fish in ponds, lakes, and the Okefenokee are feeding with reckless abandon. Pretty much pick where you want to fish this weekend, and you should catch fish. Pick right, and you may just have your best trip of the year. Altamaha River: The panfish…
Springtime fishing is here. Bass are in all stages of the spawn. Early spawners are done and feeding up ahead of summer heat, and some species are just starting to spawn. Fun stuff, but sometimes difficult to pick a bite. If you pick right, it’s a blast! But if you don’t, then it could be…
I’ve not been around a lot this week due to fishing in the Everglades, but the reports I did receive were good. The rivers are getting back down and those bites are heating up at different rates. Guess right and you could be in for a great day! Altamaha River: Seth Carter fished the backwaters…
Fishing is heating up with the current warm-up! The flatwater produced the best reports this week. Rivers are still high but are getting fishable.

Freshwater is heating up in the flat waters. Rivers are still mostly high, but some stretches and backwaters will be fishable soon. The Okefenokee is high, but the bite has still been good. Very few people fished the brine with the strong winds and bigger tides earlier in the weekend. Savannah River: Mark Vick fished…
The bites have been good, especially before this past weekend’s big rains in southeast Georgia. Now the rivers are booming and lakes and the swamp are high. Even so, if you choose carefully, you can get on a good bite. St. Marys River: Sammy Gaskins went to the river on Friday before the big rains…
The weather has been great for most of this week. The Okefenokee Swamp, saltwater and ponds have produced the best catches from the reports I received. St. Marys River: Seth Carter fished the river on Sunday and caught some bass. Matt Rouse reported that the upper river is still in good shape but a little…
Winter is back, so it is up to judging how much of a warm-up behind a front will get the fish biting again. Some folks got on good bites in both salt and freshwater, while others did not put all the pieces together. This week’s rains have all of the south Georgia rivers rising—some are…
