Richmond Hill Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Richmond Hill

The Ogeechee spreads into spartina and oyster below Richmond Hill and empties into Ossabaw Sound, and the tide range here — seven feet and better — governs every decision you make on it. A creek you idled into at high water is a mud bank and an exposed rake six hours later, so learning a spot around here means learning it at four different water levels. Redfish push up into the flooded grass at the top of the flood and drop back to the creek mouths and bar edges as it falls, trout hold the deeper bends and the sound edges, and flounder ambush the sandy cuts. Tripletail float near markers and drifting structure through the warm months. From the bluff at Fort McAllister you can watch how much water actually moves through here.

Local tip: Everything runs on the swing. Fish the last of the flood up in the grass, then work the creek mouths hard through the first two hours of the outgoing — an hour off is the whole trip.
