Yesterday I had Hunt and Presley on the boat with their dads for a four hour trip. The weather was a little sketchy so we decided to stay close to shelter and hit some Trout fishing drops. After making a couple of spots with little action we went to an old school Trout fishing spot. I’ve fished this spot since …
Big Sheepshead, Big Trout, a bonus Flounder, and one poor fish.
Yesterday morning I was freezing my butt off when I left St. Simons Island and headed out to pick up my customers that were staying on Jekyll Island. I had a perfect plan, and 6 rods rigged and ready to execute that plan. My intentions were to run up the river to a spot that I knew had produced 50 …
Another day of Reef Sheepshead – and the “endangered” Red Snapper
Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking Bud and his grandson Chandler out for some Sheepshead fishing on the reefs. The seas were flat calm and other than the boat being covered in ice, it was a pleasant ride out. When we first got there we had to move around a little bit to find the right piece of structure, …
Great day of fishing at St. Simons Island, GA! Offshore Sheepshead
We left from St. Simons Island this morning and decided that the choppy water offshore wasn’t bad enough to deter us from fishing for some Sheepshead on the nearshore reefs. We ran out at 35 knots and were quickly at the first stop. Our first drop produced a double hook-up with a 7 pound Sheepshead and a 4 pound reef …
Big Tides, Big Wind, Tough Fishing
Yesterday I had two of my regular customers out for an inshore fishing trip. These guys usually fish offshore with me but they wanted to try something new since the weather was way too bad to go out into the ocean. The hide tide was 8 feet and the low was negative 1.3 feet which is a lot of water …
St. Simons Island Fishing Report – Success in the Wind!
Today Ray and his dad were on the boat with me for a four hour inshore fishing charter. The water was dirty and the wind was ripping, so we went further than I normally would on a half day trip to get to an area that usually holds some clean water. The long ride would turn out to be worth …
Bull Reds at St. Simons Island, Georgia
Yesterday we went out to catch some HUGE Redfish on the reefs near St. Simons Island. We got there are found that the Sea Bass were extremely thick and they were eating anything we dropped down. We even tied on a piece of a rag and they would bite it and hang on to it all the way to the …
St. Simons Island Fishing Report – Great charter! 2/2/13
Today I had Jeff and Randy out for a 6 hour trip out of St. Simons Island. We were fishing inshore but they really wanted to get a few Sheepshead to go with some Trout and Reds. I’ve been on some Sheepshead inshore lately and with the wind blowing from the Northeast at 15 this morning I didn’t think the …
Awesome Fishing Day – Mixed Bag
Today I called a good buddy to try and line up a last minute trip for some Sheepshead and Redfish. My father was planning to go out as well so we decided to just jump in one boat and all go together. When we got to the first spot I could feel the crumbling of my plans. The unusually low …
Coastal Georgia Fising Report by Species
Trout- Excellent: Right now the Trout fishing is insanely good for this time of year. If you think about it, we have the climate of central Florida mixed with Georgia’s eco-system. That is quite a combo. Trout are being caught in a multitude of places, but I have focused on finding small creeks with structure, whether it is docks, bridges, …
