Saltwater Fishing
September is the time that the big redfish seek a mate and spawn. It’s during this time that some oversized reds—upward of 30 pounds or more—can be caught. The trick to catching these behemoths is knowing where they will be located. Georgia is blessed with the best coastal estuary system along the Atlantic shoreline. While…
