Georgia recreational saltwater anglers will have a three-day red snapper season in federal waters Dec. 8-10, 2017. Each angler is allowed to harvest one red snapper per day with no size restriction during what’s being called a “mini season.” DNR’s Coastal Resources Division (CRD) is asking for help from recreational anglers who get lucky enough…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “I will be glad to say goodbye to November. We have caught a lot of fish, but the weather and big tides have been a real headache. After Dec. 8, the tides look good for the rest of the month. The water has cooled down a lot. On Nov.…
November is a magical time. Cool winds begin to blow, temperatures drop, and a table full of Thanksgiving food is just days away. For Joe Corley, of Waycross, November brings an entirely different agenda. While most outdoorsmen are trying to down a big buck, or readying decoys for the upcoming duck season, Joe is hitching…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “When the month of November rolls around, the inshore bite certainly does pick up. It is much easier to score a Savannah Slam, which is redfish, spotted seatrout and flounder. The secret to catching more inshore fish during this time of the year is to use live shrimp as bait. Once you…
October has to be one of my most favorite times of the year. With cooler temperatures, college football and hunting season upon us, it just doesn’t get better in the Peach State… or does it?

The goal would be to allow more flexibility to the federal folks when setting recreational seasons and bag limits for species like red snapper, grouper and cobia. Several saltwater fishing leaders, including Spud Woodward,…
Anyone who knows me is aware of my addiction for catching fish on a BreamBuster pole. For me there is no better fight than with a simple pole and line combination. So, when I heard of how Dereck DeLoach, of Waycross, uses his BreamBuster to boat sheepshead by the cooler fulls, I knew I had…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The redfish bite has been incredible. On a lot of recent trips, we have caught more than 100 redfish in a couple hours of fishing. Catching a limit of redfish should be an easy thing to do in September. The redfish have been from 14 inches up to 40-inch…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “July has been a great month of fishing coastal Georgia waters. Redfish and flounder have been on fire. Trout, tarpon and tripletail have been caught in good numbers. The big news is the number of small redfish that we have been catching. After the first of August, catching a…
