Nothing prettier than a mess of redbreast. They pull good too. Glad y'all had a good trip.Andy- 1Cove
I took my buddy Charlie Disher to the Ogeechee River last Friday. Charlie had never been to the Ogeechee and had never caught a Redbreast. He really liked both.
The river was a bit high but we did have sucess with Dan Sidle's Taser Bugs with cricket on the hook. You had to throw up next to wood and use a slow retrieve. Most purty fish. The bug also caught blackfish and bass.
Now this rain has all our rivers on the rise but I shall monitor and hit the first to fall back within the banks.

Danbo,
I've always wanted to fish that place. Is this a trip you could be successful at without a lot of knowledge of this particular river. Where is a good place to launch?

Be aware, there is a 9.9 HP limit on this river above hwy 119.
The guide link list all the boat ramps
Is this the part of the Ogeechee that had the huge fish kill a few years ago due to toxic waste from a plant? Im just wondering if it has recovered?
Not sure where you're fishing, but the spill originated just above hwy 301. I fish out of Morgan's Bridge on 204 and some of the landings out of Stewart with pretty good luck.
You can put boats with more than 9.9 HP but the prop must be out of the water. You will only be able to use the trolling motor. I do this often. I will troll upstream and then turn downstream to fish the other bank. Fishing is best from Millen to Statesboro. Early in the year I fish from the US1 bridge down to Midville.
