Saltwater Fishing
When you talk about saltwater fishing in Glynn County, you are talking about the Golden Isles. Jekyll, St. Simons, Sea and Little St. Simons islands make up this chain of barrier islands that protect some of the finest estuary salt marsh on the planet, and some of the best fishing to be found along the…
Worried about seasickness and long boat rides? Three of Georgia’s coastal islands offer saltwater fishing within walking distance of your vehicle. The intricate network of sandbars, sloughs and points found near coastal inlets and barrier-island beaches are a battlefield for predator and prey, each vying to win the age-old contest for survival. Wind and waves…
Georgia is blessed to have an estuary system that blankets its entire coastline. From the barrier islands all the way back into the salt marshes, fish and marine life are abundant and are relatively untouched by the masses of fishermen found in other locations. These estuaries, fed by a mix of ocean water and fresh…

Okefenokee Swamp: Matt Rouse fished the east side on Friday morning in the cool weather. The first half-hour in the drizzle nothing bit, but as the sun came out and it warmed up, the bowfin started chewing his Dura-Spins. Black/chartreuse was the best color that day. He fished an hour and had two bowfin in the 3- to 4-lb. range and three small pickerel. They made bowfin po-boys for lunch and enjoyed them. Lucy and Chadwick fished with me on Saturday on the east…
