Largemouth Bass
If you're chasing largemouth bass in southeast Georgia, Folkston offers a unique experience centered around the St. Marys River and its surrounding swamps and oxbow lakes. The dark, tannin-stained water creates a different fishing environment compared to clearer reservoirs. Spring and early summer are excellent, as the bass are active in the shallows, spawning and guarding fry. Flip and pitch dark-colored soft plastics around cypress trees, lily pads, and other vegetation. Topwater lures can also be effective in the early morning and late evening. Access can be challenging; a shallow-draft boat or kayak is highly recommended to navigate the cypress-filled waters. Be aware of alligators and other wildlife. The St. Marys River is known for producing quality-sized bass, but the fishing can be technical, requiring precise casts and a good understanding of the cover.
