Fishing Reports
Flounder are on the move this month, migrating back from nearshore reefs and wrecks. Every year they make a migration offshore in the fall and then back inshore in the spring. It’s the larger flounder that make the migrations. The smaller ones, the ones from the current and previous years’ hatches, remain inshore in the…
Saltwater: Inshore: Good, according to Capt. Judy Helmey. “April fishing brings fishermen closer to the act of catching. Bait shops should start to catch and carry live shrimp, which is the bait that gets the attention of all fish. With live shrimp in the well, traditional adjustable floats from large to small and popping corks…
Saltwater: Inshore: Good, according to Capt. Greg Hildreth. The inshore fishing for redfish and trout has been very good this winter with the mild weather. The trout have moved into the creeks and have found the deeper holes. The fish are biting live shrimp under slip-sinker rigs as well as lead-head jigs threaded with soft-plastic…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The water temp is averaging around 53 degrees in most places. The trout bite is still on. Some trout are being caught in the deeper holes. Fish a small jig or a live shrimp very slowly and close to the bottom. The redfish bite never really slowed down this…
The sun was peaking above the trees, just beginning to warm the crisp morning air as the Mercury outboard roared to life.

Judy Helmey reports, “By the time the month of January rolls around, the inshore fish that are migrating have left, and the ones that are staying have gone into the hibernation mode. Spotted sea trout during this time are normally wintering in deep holes in the rivers or sounds. Best way to…
Saltwater: Inshore: Good. Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “There is one thing I can say about the month of December when it comes to catching fish and that’s, ‘It can happen!’ During this time, all fish from spotted seatrout to flounder to redfish are doing what they do best, and that’s bulking up for those unpredictable…

Fisheries biologist and outdoor writer Capt. Bert Deener joins Les Ager for a late October fishing trip off the Georgia coast, fishing out of Crooked River Marina. This segment appeared on Episode 30 of GON-TV, airing nationally on The Outdoor Channel in the fall of 2011.
Saltwater: Inshore: Excellent. Capt. Greg Hildreth reports, “The nearshore fishing for the bull redfish is very good now and should last until mid to late November. I am getting these fish on the bars and shoals around St. Simons and Jekyll Island. The bait of choice is a live pogy, but they are getting harder…
