There's a small-ish pond in the median of I-16 somewhere near Metter (I don't remember exactly) that I've always wanted to stop and try. It used to be hard to see, but since they cut the timber in the median, it's easy to see. Since it's in a public median, I don't think you'd get in trouble for fishing it, but some road worker may tell you to leave.

I've thought about that too...there are "no fishing" signs, but from what I can see it does not appear to be private. I'm sure highway patrol would pay a visit if driving by, though.

It’s hard for me to understand why anybody would want to fish freshwater if you’re in a place Ike Savannah, but to each his own.

Right now it's the only fishing I do being outside Atlanta, I can assure you when in Savannah 95% will be saltwater and back to my roots but I do enjoy some early spring and fall bass fishing.

The Altamaha river is full of bass .. and any other species you might want to fish for. Salt/Brackish/ Fresh, it has it all.

That's certainly an option and something I will try at some point, but from what I've heard those river fish don't typically get all that big so not sure I'd focus most of my freshwater trips there. I do think the stripers in the brackish areas of the Altamaha and Savannah river sound like a blast though and hope to find some of those.

There are plenty of big Largemouth in the Altamaha.
