The bites have been good all over the place. With the forecasted rains this week, it’s going to be interesting figuring out what basins got the rain and are rising and which ones did not. Good luck! Morning trips are the ticket now with the heat and afternoon thunderstorms a possibility. Altamaha/Ocmulgee River: Jamie Hodge…
