Fishing
As you read this October 2018 issue of GON, it’s safe to say that the sweltering days of summer are nearly behind us. As the leaves begin to change and temperatures drop, it signals the beginning of fall in our great state. For south Georgia though, the cold weather will be sporadic at best as…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “I consider October as being one of the best fishing months for both fish and fishermen. The reason being is all fish both inshore and offshore are in full migration mode. With water temperatures on the fall, the redfish, spotted seatrout and flounder bites get more predictable. Places where you caught…
I eased the boat up in the mouth of a small creek just as the tide started coming in and lowered the power pole. I pointed out a small pocket in the bank and gave my two fishermen directions to throw just across the front of it. Every cast for the next 30 minutes produced…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The fall fishing has started with redfish everywhere. We caught a limit in 20 casts (15 redfish) yesterday morning (Aug. 22). We are going to have some really great fishing for redfish the next three months. Right now most of the redfish are in the sounds, but in a few weeks a…
Strange things have a way of washing up on the beach, but some New Zealand divers now have quite the story to share after discovering a giant squid along a beach on Wellington’s south coast.

If you happen to find yourself in a boat just off the barrier islands this month, don’t be surprised to see big silver fish blasting bait out of the water. And while our ocean waters are known for a healthy shark population, that’s not what I’m talking about in this case. What you are very…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “July has been a good month for fishing. Tarpon, trout, redfish and flounder have all been caught lately. August is always the best month of tarpon fishing on the Georgia coast. The hotter the better for tarpon fishing. The channels just offshore and a lot of spots in the sounds…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “During the month of July, inshore fishing can be steady. For those inshore fishermen who just want to catch fish, I suggest purchasing or catching some live shrimp. This is the No. 1 bait that all fish like. Your chances for hooking up when baiting up with live shrimp are very good.…
First place in the 2018 Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish Classic paid out $450,705 to the Florida team of Team Reel Addiction, thanks to a 796.9-lb. blue marlin they caught. It’s the largest payout in the tournament’s 22-year history. The big marlin bit 170 miles offshore with very few minutes left of fishing time before the team…
