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…
Saltwater: Inshore: Excellent. Capt. David Newlin reports, “The inshore bite is as good as it gets. Redfish are everywhere. The smaller fish are in the shallow water eating shrimp. The big redfish are in the deeper channels and in the surf. Fish a piece of mullet on the bottom for the big fish. As always,…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey said a subtle change takes place in September. “All fish are basically put on notice that fall patterns are pending. Just the fact that daylight is a couple of minutes shorter makes all the difference. This is not the month for migrations, it’s the month for feeding on everything that…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey said the fish are there, but it may take some work to get them to bite. Judy reports, “To add to the hot weather, all bait that are going to be here have arrived, offering up all fish plenty of the real-deal stuff to eat. So, if you are going…
Saltwater: Inshore: Good. Capt. David Newlin reports, “I have caught a lot of big redfish over the last few days. Find some clear water, and the fish have been there.

Saltwater: Inshore: Good. Capt. David Newlin reports, “The redfish bite is pretty hot. We caught five big ones sight fishing in the grass this morning. A new-penny-colored Powerbait shrimp was working great. Plenty of slot-limit fish are being caught on live shrimp. They should keep biting through June. The trout bite has improved. It isn’t…
The beach-runner cobia have arrived off the Georgia coast, and they can be caught several different ways this month. We call these fish “beach runners” because we catch them in sight of the beach. But you need to be aware that they will be found anywhere from just behind the breakers to as far as…
