Fishing Reports
Fish are in their summer patterns with the incessant heat we’ve had in southeast Georgia over the last couple weeks. The best bites I’ve heard of have been saltwater and Okefenokee Swamp. Ponds and the rivers that have been down enough to fish should be decent options this weekend, as well. Altamaha River: The river…
The rivers are back to full bank or in the floodplains for the most part. The exception is the St Marys River. It’s very fishable. Altamaha River: Paul and Steve Williamson fished the middle river on Friday and did well for panfish. They had a few catfish, but the shellcrackers were the prize. They put worms…
Wow, what a difference a week makes! We’ve gone from the upper rivers clearing up and dropping lower than you can get motorboats around in to rising fast again. The bigger rivers will take a little longer for that to happen, but the last couple of days of rain will probably push all our rivers…
Not as many people reported this week as compared to the holiday weekend, but there were still a lot of folks fishing. The rivers are getting back in decent shape again, and I expect to get some excellent reports this week. Alapaha River: Take note that the Highway 129 bridge boat ramp (near Lakeland) closed…
Lots of fish were caught over the Memorial Day Weekend, even with the cooler-than-average temperatures and extreme winds early in the weekend. Alapaha River: Take note that the Highway 129 Bridge boat ramp (near Lakeland) closed on May 30. It will be closed for a couple of months while the ramp and parking area are…
I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and are able to work some fishing into your plans. Saltwater will be rough early in the weekend with very strong winds forecasted, but it should calm down late into the weekend. The Okefenokee and ponds are your best bet for the holiday weekend, but…
It should be another great week of fishing, but afternoon thundershowers are starting to factor into the equation. The Satilla didn’t get quite warm enough and it’s headed back up again. Other rivers are in pretty good shape, and the Swamp is still great for pickerel and bowfin. The saltwater weekend weather forecast is pretty…
This is a great weekend to hitch up the boat. The rivers are falling to fishable levels, the Swamp is firing on all cylinders and saltwater is beginning to warm up (and tidal heights are better this weekend). It’s time to go! Alapaha River: The river dropped out last week, and reports have been great.…
