Thread: where to find crappie near Savannah?

Going into my first spring since moving down from north of Atlanta to work at Ft Stewart and just bought my fishing permit for base. Does anyone know where the best ponds on base for crappie are?

Also, I'm willing to drive an hour of Savannah to find good crappie waters so if you know of any please share. I'm so ready for crappie I can hardy wait for the weekends

there are several here that fish the ponds on base . i did years ago when my brother was station there . think DI knowes a good bit about the ponds and several mor on here . they wil cone in soon with some advise .

i am going to pond 21 on ft stewart tomrrow. look for a gold tone chevy. i am still a newbie at this game and still havent caught a crappie yet. but that will change soon i hope. i see you posted on gon also. i will just post here since this is my new home for fishing. also take a look at the ft stweart web site thier is a good write up on all the ponds.

I lived in Richmond Hill/Savannah for 25 years (I now live in North Ga) and fished Fort Stewart many times if your looking for Crappie the best pond is 28. The problem is that it is only open only a few days a year. Your best bet is to fish the rivers (Conoochee and Ogeechee River) for red breast starting now until the first of June. I have one warning for you, SAND GNATS. Fishing from the bank on ponds or rivers they will carry you away. If you are in a boat they are bad but you will be able to stand it. Good Luck

and i have to agree with blackcloud. with these darn sand gants it will be buffet time when the wind dont blow. but do not leave home with out your thermacell at least that is some defence against them.

try wiping your face with bounce fabric softner also .

jimmy s has lived in that aera for years he is a good guy . he might show you some good places if he feels like it . he does have some health probablems .
