Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report February 2011

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmy reported that even on a warm day water temperatures are in the mid to high 40s, and the redfish bite has been either off or on. “On some days you can creep in quietly to your fishing area and might get some sort of a bite. However, from the reports…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report January 2011

Saltwater: Inshore: Good, but slow down your presentations. “Everything is in wintertime mode,” said Capt. David Newlin. “The big redfish are in good numbers on the shallow flats on low tide. Throw shrimp or artificial Gulp! and power baits to them. The redfish are very spooky this time of year, so use lighter terminal tackle…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report – December 2010

Saltwater: Inshore: Very good. Capt. Greg Hildreth reports, “The nearshore fishing for the bull reds is about over; most of them have moved out to the reefs and wrecks offshore. They can still be caught out there but aren’t near as fun to catch in the deep water. The inshore fishing has been very good!…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report – November 2010

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Bob Barnette, fishing out of the Richmond Hill/Savannah area, reports, “The seatrout bite is on and the redfish are starting to school. Look to the beaches for the stag bass action, and the sounds and rivers for the trout and redfish. Fish the bottom with cut or live bait for the large…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report – October 2010

Saltwater: Inshore: Good. Capt. David Newlin reports, “The trout are biting. All over the St. Catherines and Ossabaw sounds, all of the drops seem to be holding some fish. There are a lot of small fish with some good fish mixed in. There’s a whole lot of action. I have caught redfish from 10 inches…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report – September 2010

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Greg Hildreth reports from the Golden Isles area that the inshore fishing is still going very well. “The trout have been plentiful but have been on the short side of the minimum length limit. There have also been tons of small redfish as well, and these fish should be of legal size…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report – August 2010

Saltwater: Capt. David Newlin reports, “Everything is in the usual late-summer pattern. The small redfish seem to be everywhere. They will hit anything you throw at them. The big redfish can still be found on high tide up in the marsh grass. High tides late in the day with no wind have been really productive.…

Georgia Saltwater Fishing Report – July 2010

Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports that the trout are finally biting. “For months I have been reporting about the almost non-existent trout bite. However, this all just might be history. Capt. Matt Williams caught 20 nice trout in one day this past week while fishing his regular inshore spots. He caught them all on…

The Last Red Snapper Trip

Last September, I crossed paths with Robbie Massey at the Richmond Hill Country Club at breakfast time. Also known as the fast-food place at the crossroads of Ford Avenue and Highway 17, this is where a lot of Richmond Hill folks gather early in the morning to drink coffee, solve life’s woes and problems and…

A Tripletail Treat

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a tripletail up close; the fish flopping on the deck of the shrimp trawler I had boarded looked like a huge brown bream. “What in the world is that?” is the reaction of many who see a tripletail for the first time. This was well before the…
