Blue-N-Haul Fishing Pier | Darien, Georgia

Public Fishing Access on the North River

Looking for a place to fish around Darien without taking a boat out? Blue-N-Haul Fishing Pier provides public fishing access on the North River in McIntosh County.

The pier sits alongside boat-launch facilities, giving shore anglers access to the tidal river while boaters use the nearby floating docks. Because both groups share the area, it is important to keep fishing lines and equipment clear when boats are moving in and out.

Fishing Tips

Check the tide. Water depth and current change throughout the day. Look for periods of moving water when planning your visit.

Start with natural bait. Shrimp and cut bait are practical options for bottom fishing in tidal rivers.

Bring spare tackle. Current and structure can lead to snags, so carry extra hooks, weights, and leader material.

Keep your setup compact. Organized tackle helps you fish comfortably without blocking walkways or access to the boat docks.

Share the Dock With Boaters

Blue-N-Haul serves anglers and boaters. When a boat approaches the floating dock, reel in your lines and move rods and tackle out of the way.

Give boat operators room to approach, maneuver, and tie off safely.

Never stretch fishing lines across a boat’s path or block the launch area.
