Fishing Reports
What beautiful weather this week! The cooler weather has the fall patterns in full swing for pretty much all species. Inshore saltwater has been very good, as has the Okefenokee Swamp. Rivers are getting fishable again at different rates, so check river levels before planning a trip to flowing water. Altamaha/Ocmulgee Rivers: Conditions deteriorated this…
The bite is picking up significantly in many places with the cooler weather. The Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers are in good shape, so give them a try while they are right. The Okefenokee bite is good and saltwater has much-improved weather forecasted this weekend and much better tides. Altamaha/Ocmulgee Rivers: Both of these rivers…
The cooler weather has the fish more active, but the rains in southeast Georgia this week have most of the blackwater rivers on the rise again. The Ocmulgee and Altamaha are in good shape to try for the weekend. With big tides and winds, saltwater is not a good option the next few days. The…
These cooler nights have improved the bite, but the rivers are still a little full for a prime bite. The best reports this week were in ponds, the Okefenokee and saltwater. Okefenokee Swamp: Carter Knoll fished in the east side boat basin this week and did well for bowfin (mudfish) by casting black/chartreuse and firetiger…
The fall transition has started, and it’s not long before some of the best fishing of the year will fire up. Okefenokee Swamp: Jason Andrick visited the Okefenokee Swamp mid-week and fished the east side. He and a friend caught 50 bowfin and pickerel (mostly bowfin) and 11 fliers. They fooled the pickerel and bowfin…
There were not many fishing reports due to storm clean-up, school starting and the heat, but the few who went did well. The rivers (except the St. Marys) are all high, so spend your time on the St. Marys, the Okefenokee Swamp, ponds or saltwater this weekend. St. Marys River: Matt Rouse fished the upper…
With school starting back up in most areas and the heat still upon us, the number of reports decreased this week, but some really good catches were made. Ponds, the Okefenokee Swamp and saltwater are where most of the better reports originated. Altamaha River: Chuck Dean and Jake Duncan had a fun trip to the…
Rivers are up and down again this week—you’ll just have to check the gages regularly before planning a trip. Every gage except the Satilla at Waycross was opposite of last week’s status (rising or falling). Bites in saltwater and in the swamp were good. Satilla River: The river is back out in the floodplain again.…
Rivers are up and down—you’ll just have to check the gages regularly before planning a trip. Bites at the Swamp and ponds were good. The inshore saltwater bite should improve this week with better tides. Satilla River: Chuck and Hunter Dean fished the lower river Sunday and ended up catching 14 bowfin, a gar and…
The dog-days of summer are here, and as my buddy Shane reminded me, one or two waters won’t cut it. Make sure to take plenty of water and stay hydrated during summer trips. Lots of bites are fired off right now, and the rivers are getting right again. Altamaha River: The river was falling back…
