The bull redfish bite has been firing up. The bass bite has also been good.
Most of the local rivers are flooded due to the recent rains and may be a while before they fall back down to normal levels again.
River gauges as of Thursday, October 15:
• Waycross on the Satilla – 15.5 feet and falling
• Atkinson on the Satilla – 13.4 feet and rising
• Fargo on the Suwannee – 8.3 feet and falling
Lakes and Ponds – I fished at a private lake recently and caught around 20-25 bass. My biggest one weighed 5 pounds, 3 ounces and my top five weighed 17lbs., 2-oz.
An angler reported he fished a pond and caught around 20 bass. Most of the fish ate soft plastic baits.
Jimmy Zinker reported the night time bass bite is shutting down for the year (due to cooler weather). He fished at Orange Lake one night and managed to catch a 5-pounder on a red-wing blackbird colored Muskie Jitterbug.
Ken Burke fished at Ocmulgee Public Fishing Area and had about 20.5 lbs., for his top five bass (caught 13 bass total). He caught them on crankbaits in 4-8 feet of water and shakey heads.
