Golden Isles Fishing Podcast Episode 8: Sushi Fastballs, Peeled Prawns, and Warm Up Already! Sushi fastballs? Really? Yeah… it’s just a way that I have described this phenomenon to my customers in the past and it seemed to resonate with them and help improve their angling skills so I figured I would share it in this podcast. But yeah, it’s …
As published in the Tribune and Georgian: Coastal Georgia Fishing Report September Report / October Forecast Capt. TJ Cheek – Coastal Georgia Fishing Guide – St. Simons Island Lately the fishing has been interesting to say the least. The non-stop rain hasn’t given us any relief as far as the fresh water run-off goes, but I can’t say that the …
Coastal Georgia Fishing Report for August 2013 For the Tribune and Georgian Capt. TJ Cheek Unfortunately this is another report where I am complaining about the freshwater making the fishing difficult. There are some bright notes right now but I am sure that you have noticed that the water color and salinity are way off from normal. Just the …
The fishing continues to be outstanding for this time of year here in coastal Georgia. Once again the mild weather has kept water temperatures between 52 and 60 degrees which has helped keep inshore species such as Trout, Sheepshead, and Redfish active and happy. The Gulf Stream fishing has been excellent with great catches of Wahoo and Black Fin Tuna …
I don’t know of any Inshore fisherman alive that doesn’t like a little Trout fishing now and then, especially an angler who has access to saltwater without too much trouble. There’s no doubt, Trout are fun to catch when you find them in numbers, and their table quality exceeds any Inshore species available in most areas. As most Trout fishermen …

During a cold winter, they travel as far South as South America and make an Atlantic crossing back to Florida, and then North into Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina as the water warms. There …
Shark Fishing is NOT a sport of the past when using proper tactics and light tackle. In the Modern day of fast center console boats and King Fish Tournaments we are caught up in, one of the best sports that have gone past us on the wayside is Shark Fishing. We have all been there. In the middle of the …
Sight casting for TripleTail may possibly be one of the most exciting angling experiences on the water. Many of us have seen TripleTail, but simply didn’t know what it was when we motored right by the fish and spooked it, or thought it was trash floating beneath the surface. The best way to describe what to look for when watching …
One thing we can count on besides bad weather in March and April, is bottom fishing for Sheepshead. The local rivers and the Georgia Offshore Reef System become engulfed with these flat-sided speedsters. These striped toothy critters make for an interesting fishing trip when conditions are favorable to allow safe exit into the Atlantic. Although they can be a bit …
As the water temperature reaches into the low 60’s, prepare to fish for Trout in deep holes on the bottom. A shrimp tipped jig, live finger mullet or shrimp will work miracles to fill the cooler with decent size Trout. I have taken notes on this method of fishing for over seven years, and I will share some bits and …
