Fishing Reports
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “For those inshore fishermen who just want to catch fish, purchase or catch live shrimp. Last month live shrimp was hard to come by. Brown shrimp in the Turner Creek and Wilmington River areas just didn’t grow big enough fast enough to be caught in a net or used on…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The month of May has been a good month of fishing and fish catching. Water temperatures have been up and down the last few weeks. On May 20, the temperature at Fort McAllister was 76 degrees. It was 78 for a couple days and then fell to 71. By…
MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY! Absolutely the last thing any captain wants to ever hear, or say, across a VHF radio. The decisions he or she has made up until that very instant, going back months, weeks, days, minutes, even seconds, could very well mean the difference between life or death for their crew and themselves. In…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “With the month of May at bay, the fish bite is more dependable and predictable. During this time, live shrimp can be caught holding on mud banks, deeps holes, backs of creeks and of course at the bait shops. In May, the spotted seatrout bite is joined with the flounder bite,…
It felt and looked more like a scene from a Saskatchewan trout fishing excursion. A mist was hitting me in the face as I gazed through a fog that hung just above the water. With the wind at my back, I made a long cast with a gold-colored Johnson spoon. With numb left fingers, I…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “March has been a crazy month for the weather. We have had cold days and then days in the 70s and 80s. We had terrible northeast winds for four days last week. The last few days the weather has been really nice. We have caught a lot of trout,…
A 26-year-old Darien man landed a record-breaking African pompano off the Georgia coast Saturday, March 13, 2021, and Richard and his catch have been certified as the new state record for that species.

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “On Feb. 21, the water temp was around 53 degrees and really clear in some places. I have caught a lot of redfish, stripers and trout this week. Redfish have been shallow and deep. Most of mine have been caught on shrimp on the bottom and under a cork.…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “Water temperatures have been ranging from 48 up the rivers to 56 a few miles offshore. That is cold for the Georgia coast. Redfish, stripers, sheepshead and black drum are being caught in good numbers. The redfish I have been catching are almost all the way up in the…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “Water temps are in low 60s and will be in the 50s by January if the weather stays cold. A lot of fish have moved up the rivers and creeks. I have been catching trout, redfish and stripers in the Ogeechee all the way up to the freshwater. Redfish…
