Fishing Reports
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…
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…
I wish each of you a wonderful Fourth of July! The summer heat has arrived, and the number of reports dwindled with the heat. The fish will be in their summer patterns soon if they are not already where you are fishing. Most rivers are still full bank or in the floodplain, except the St.…
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…
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…
