Saltwater Fishing

Tidal Rip Redfish

In the late 1990s, fishing guides targeting sharks and tarpon during the early autumn started catching redfish in the waters off the southern end of St. Simons Island — big redfish, some of which pushed record size. These anglers were working the area between Gouldʼs Inlet and the shipping channel leading into the St. Simons…

September Redfish In The Georgia Marsh — Canoe Style

There’s a “new” kind of fishing fever that’s beginning to accelerate off the Georgia coast, and it makes fishing a whole lot simpler. For hundreds of years, anglers have been setting their hooks on a variety of fish while fishing from a canoe.

Wade For Redfish

The tide on the outer bar was going to top out around 7:15 p.m. at a height of about 8.1 feet. The water wouldn’t hit the high mark on the marsh at my spot until about 8:00 p.m. Plenty of time to get in a day’s work, yet still have a couple of hours to…

By Capt. Bert Deener | April 25, 2025

Get ready for some great fishing over the next month as the water warms and rivers drop out to perfect levels. The Okefenokee, ponds and St Marys River are great locations for this weekend, but different sections of some other rivers are getting right. Saltwater tides will be reasonable late this week, but they are increasing as we approach New Moon. Satilla River: The first angler award-sized redbreast was caught this weekend on the Satilla. It was 1.08 pounds. He caught it on a crankbait. Scott, Raigan and Amiee fished the upper Satilla on Sunday and caught a 5-gallon bucket of nice catfish by fishing shrimp on the bottom. Their biggest was 2 1/2 pounds. They also had some nice redbreasts on Satilla Spins. The water is still high, but lots of quality fish are going to be caught this week. The key on the Satilla is to fish it…
