Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some hard-fighting channel catfish in southeast Georgia, Newington offers some excellent opportunities. The Ogeechee River, which flows nearby, is a prime spot. It's known for its healthy catfish population, and you'll find them in good numbers around fallen trees and submerged structure. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as the catfish become more active with the warming water temperatures and are spawning. Try fishing with cut bait, worms, or stink baits on a Carolina rig near the deeper holes and bends in the river. Be aware of the strong currents in some sections of the Ogeechee, and always check river levels before heading out. Public access is available at several points along the river, but some areas may require a short hike. Also, be aware of alligators – they are common in this area.
