2 days, 2 rivers, and 2 tired ole men.

My Buddy Billy Minton and I took off at the crack Wednesday AM headed for the Satilla. We fished all day but only caught fish from 1130AM until 5 PM. The AM bite was just not there. The river was falling too fast but we did manage to keep 47 and most were red breast. We met up with my boy and Grand Baby Girl on the river and she caught her very first Satilla bream.

We stayed in Waycross Wed nite and headed back via the Altamaha on a scouting trip for June. We got there about 10AM and we both said what the heck, so we went fishing while we were there. The river was high and muddy but we had worms, crickets, and some catalpa worms Mike give us while in Waycross. We fished our cricket on a spinner, crickets under a cork, worms on the bottom with little success. We finally stopped and fished an Eddy pocket with deep water and started catching a few. When I hooked on one of those Catalpa worms the party started. We used every one of them Catalpa worms. We did not feel like counting fish but the ice chest would not hold one more.....Nice FAT gills, red breast, and some channel cat...Fun day in bad conditions.

We loaded up and our two tired butts headed back to God's country.

What a great outing. Nothing like being on a south Georgia river in the springtime. What a beautiful sandbar in the background. Andy-1 Cove

Well played Danbo. I love to read your stories about fishing those rivers. That place looks awesome.

These come from Waycross but I just saw some little biddy ones on my trees this AM. If you get any put them in one of those food saver bags and vacuum them down and they will stay fresh for a long time.

What's the best depth on the satilla to catch fish? I have never been but want to try and go this year.

We have always fished the shoreline next to wood with spin baits with cricket attached. Many fish worms on bottom. If you are after red breast, they like moving water. Deep banks with an eddy is always good.
