Fishing Reports
It’s been a good week of fishing. This is one of my favorite times of the year—when the panfish start moving to the shallows to spawn, bass are feeding with reckless abandon until the summer heat sets in, saltwater fish are chewing, and the big silver kings are along our beaches. Good times on the…
Fishing has been great in the flatwaters of southeast Georgia this week. Our rivers are mostly still high, but we have a dry forecast for the next week. I hope you have a great holiday weekend and are able to work some fishing into your plans. Altamaha River: Taylor Lee had a great day on…
There have been some giant fish of several species weighed in from all over the place this week. I wish I could clone myself to fish multiple locations this week! Take your pick where you go. There are no bad places to fish right now, just some are on fire and some are good. Satilla…
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…
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…
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.…
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.…
St. Marys River: According to Capt. Bert Deener, “I fished the upper river for just a couple of hours last Monday evening and had fun. I ended up catching seven fish (two bowfin, four warmouth and a bass). The bass hit a crawfish-gold blade Dura-Spin, but all the other fish ate a white-white blade Dura-Spin.…
