My interpretation of the best places would be as close to the wildlife drive as possible to take advantage of them going and coming from the colonial period rice fields, say in or near Steamboat Cut or so. There is a canal at about 32' 10.8800 x 81' 8.8956 that has held some interest and directly to the west of it is some mud flat marsh to hide in and set up decoys.
Be VERY careful there with the tide fluctuations and mud flats. You'd be better to start the first time at sunup from the Houlihan ramp and look the area over for obstacles and good boat blind locations.
Be sure to print out and SIGN the permit/map.
Now, up near Big Collins Creek there is a couple of submerged river boats that I thought might be good for some duck setting too.

Shot some teal in the south altamaha this morning, Sav Ref reminds me alot of the Altamaha,,,very prehistoric looking and beautiful. Me and the wife and kids rode out to the road that goes around the ponds there and saw at least 100 teal and others landing at dark.

Thanks for the heads up and info. I plan on doing alot of scouting of this area and trolling for stripers and catfish. I don't understand the rule about the area directly north of the GA 25 bridge/Houlihans ramp.

Hunting will not be permitted within 100 yards of Georgia
Highway 25 and South Carolina Highway 170; in or on
Middle and Steamboat Rivers and Houstown Cut, nor

closer than 50 yards of the shoreline of these waterways.

Does this mean you can't hunt south of 95? On the map Isla Island is colored for waterfowl hunting? Per the regs you can only hunt the banks of Front river?

Hell why don't you just ride with me,,,,,I gotta comfy dry riding duck boat! How is the catfish fishing around there? Looks like champney river in Darien. Saw a brotha catch 3 nice channel cats at the ramp while we were taking out.
