Fishing Reports
Far and away the most popular fish on the Georgia coast is the spotted sea-trout. There is a good reason for it to be No. 1. It’s the most abundant and cooperative fish on the coast, and the creel limit of 15 fish means that you can bring home a lot of filets. October and…
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 is to use live shrimp as bait. Fish the live…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “There is no other way to describe the fishing than red hot. Today (Sept. 25) we had 30 good trout and six redfish at noon. Every day lately it has been catching and not just fishing. Water temperature was 76 degrees. The usual method of fishing a live shrimp…
September is the time that the big redfish seek a mate and spawn. It’s during this time that some oversized reds—upward of 30 pounds or more—can be caught. The trick to catching these behemoths is knowing where they will be located. Georgia is blessed with the best coastal estuary system along the Atlantic shoreline. While…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “This is not the month for migrations; it’s the month for feeding on everything that is available. Spotted seatrout, redfish and flounder might feed at different times of the tides. However, here’s what they have in common. All of them like live shrimp. The bottom line is you can…

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “July has been real hot and windy. Big southwest winds have blown almost constantly until today (July 25), and we got a 25 knot northeaster. The fishing has been good but not always with the usual predictable patterns. This past week we caught some real nice trout, a lot…
Every saltwater angler worth his or her salt knows the best all-around fishing is to be had in either the spring or the fall months. If it’s too cold, fish seem to acquire a case of lockjaw. And if it’s too hot, they seem to just disappear. Well, July is here; it’s hot, and the…
Brunswick, GA (June 25, 2015)- The Coastal Resources Division (CRD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources recently deployed a 110-feet-long barge, 140 poultry transport cages (PTC’s), and four 40-feet-long concrete beams as the latest additions to Artificial Reef SAV – located 6 nautical miles southeast of Tybee Island.

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The heat of summer is here in full force. Water temps are around 86 degrees all over the rivers and sounds. The good news is that we have a big crop of redfish on the way—small redfish seem to be everywhere. This past week we caught trout, redfish, sheepshead,…
