Saltwater Fishing
Miles Zachary was not surprised this time. He had already done it once, not even a year before, but now, on Sunday, April 30, 2023, he looked at his rare catch with amusement and awe. The Baxley native had just caught his second flounder around the confluence of the Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers where the…

How often do we drive over a body of water, gaze out and muse, “There ought to be fish there… and there, and there…” and wish we were in a boat checking out those hunches? Motoring over Lake Sinclair on 441, past Little River and Lakeside landings, drives me nuts. I’m crisscrossing the Oconee, Ogeechee,…

Rivers are still very swollen, and you can’t get to some of the various boat ramps because the ramps and access roads are flooded. Your best bets this week are ponds and saltwater. Satilla River: The river is still up in flood stage, but it should be falling throughout this week. The annual Satilla Riverkeeper fishing tournament will be held May 3-12.

St. Marys River: Brentz McGhin and a friend fished the river with crickets over the weekend and caught a nice mess of panfish, but it wasn’t on fire. They pitched plastics for warmouth and caught bowfin and a few small bass. The river is up, and they worked for their fish. Okefenokee Swamp: I heard two good reports of warmouth this week. A couple dabbled live crawfish for four hours on Wednesday morning and caught 20 warmouth. Another angler…
