jenkinscountytimes.com The Jenkins County Times Wednesday, November 8, 2023- Page 11 It's that time of season to visit the Ogeechee River There's an old saying: "A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at the office." And that is so very true! If you’re looking to get outdoors and toss a line, Midville or Rock Ford and the surrounding areas on the Ogeechee offers no shortage of great places to play hooky. Whether you enjoy chasing your catch by boat or want to pull out a chair on a dock and take in the view, there are plenty of fun and scenic places throughout the river areas to satisfy any fishing bug. Just about any time of year, grouper and snapper are up for grabs in the coastal waters where the river feeds. While other fish such as bass, catfish, crappie, mackerel, flounder, redfish, and trout can be caught seaonally as they move through the river to the larger waters. I don't know about you, but as this cooler weather comes along, I just enjoy a trip down the river in my little boat to just plain enjoy the scenery and the turning of the leaves. Of course, if I see something big swimming around, I always have my trust worthy pole with me along with some bait. However, even though the water is low at points in the Ogeechee, remember to always have your fishing license with you. I have seen several boaters being checked lately. You do not want that ticket this time of year. One particular place I enjoy going to just "get away" overlooks the Ogeechee River and we call it. The Historic Fort McAllister in Richmond Hill Georgia. It offers more than its Civil War museum and earthwork fortifications. It also features two great fishing spots, one open to the public, another reserved just for campers at the state park. The park's pier is more than 150 feet long overlooking the river, with picnic pavilions, a playground for the kids, and even a boat ramp nearby for you to put in your boat. It is that time of year guys to "get away" from the hustle of a busy season and just go boating and fishing. Don't be a recliner man, be a fishing man, and enjoy the weather. Happy Trails to you all!
