Hunting
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…
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.…
On Saturday, April 14, Don Durr, of Waycross, headed out to fish a small bass tournament on the St. Marys River, with high hopes that lady luck might bring a little good fortune his way. As he backed his 17 1/2-foot Tracker boat in the water a little after 6 a.m., he had no idea…
All of us like a good deal. Whether it’s a good price on your buddy’s boat or a BOGO on your favorite lure, we perk up when we see a money-saving opportunity. For anglers, one such vacation opportunity exists in the southeast corner of our great state at Crooked River State Park. The combination of…
It happens each year. Fish move with the seasons. Sometimes it’s a move to spawn; sometimes it’s a move to warmer or cooler water; sometimes it’s a move with the tidal currents. But the irrefutable fact is that they do move. That’s a handy piece of information to have when you are fishing a particular…
The population rebound of the American alligator is one of the great wildlife stories of my lifetime. I have been applying for a permit since Georgia’s first alligator season and was finally selected for the 2006 season. As I reflect on that awesome hunt I had last year, my excitement level builds in anticipation of…
