Fishing Reports
I hope you and your family had a great Easter weekend. The bite has been off and on with the changing weather. Satilla River: The annual Satilla Riverkeeper fishing tournament is coming up and will run from April 12-21. Get the details on the Satilla River Facebook page. Savannah River: McCoy Skinner caught a giant…
The spring bite is in full swing. Incessant spring rains have kept the rivers in the floodplain, and that shows no signs of changing in the near future. Fortunately, the weekend weather forecast is good, so plan an outside family adventure this Easter Weekend. Satilla River: The annual Satilla Riverkeeper fishing tournament is coming…
Even with the cold mornings early in the week, there have been some really good catches. The southeast Georgia rivers are still blown out for now. Okefenokee, ponds, and saltwater have been very good. Okefenokee Swamp: I had a couple good trips on the east side this week. Shelton Hunter from Florida fished with me…
There were some VERY good reports this week. Bass and crappie are up shallow spawning in ponds and lakes in southeast Georgia. Saltwater fishing is picking up as the water warms. The Okefenokee is dropping out, and the water is warming. It’s on! Savannah River: Mark Vick and Daniel Rhodes had a small window Saturday…
Happy Leap Year! The fishing has really picked up this week with the warmer weather. Winds have been pretty crazy mid-week, but the bites in the swamp, ponds and saltwater have been good. Crappie and bass are shallow thinking about their spring spawning ritual. Give it a try! Satilla River: Wayne Johns has been running…
The cold kept the bite depressed this week, for the most part, but the forecasted warm-up next week should get the fish in the Okefenokee, ponds and lakes chewing! Crappie and bass fishing should be great next week! Okefenokee Swamp: Naaman Headrick came down from Tennessee and fished with Dan Prewitt and me on the…
The weekend rains were followed by cold, but a few folks got on fish. Lakes, ponds and saltwater are where the best reports came from. Savannah River: Mark Vick returned to the river this weekend with his oldest son, Tripp. The river had risen a little from last week, and the bite slowed some, but…
The stable (but colder) weather this week produced some good catches. The rivers are still high, but they are coming down to fishable levels. Lakes, ponds and saltwater had the best catches reported this week. Savannah River: Mark Vick took his youngest son, Waylon, to the river on Saturday, and they had a blast! Waylon…
Weather and building new moon tides ruled the week. But, folks who braved adversity made some really good catches this week. With the big tides this weekend, saltwater probably won’t be the best option. I would fish ponds and lakes since the rivers are blown out and are going to probably get even worse with…
Happy New Year, everyone! The whole key right now is to find fish and fish slowly. During winter, there are usually lots of fish in small areas and lots of areas with no fish. I have personally had great and tough trips so far this week. Rivers are running hard, but a few folks reported…
