Fishing Reports
Saltwater: Capt. Bob Barnette reports, “The water temperature has reached 80-plus degrees along the coast, and the water is clear on most days. The redfish are still biting with some very large fish being landed. Flounder are showing up on the mud flats, and tripletail action has started. If shark is your forte, then you…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Bob Barnette reports, “April has been a good month for the whiting bite on the coast. May should be even better with the water temp rising every day and bait starting to show up. Redfish have been eating all winter and show no signs of stopping. On the other hand, spotted seatrout…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The water temperature is right around 60 degrees. Usually everything starts biting when the water gets in the low 60s. The big redfish have been biting in the sound and on the beach front. Sight fishing in the shallow marsh flats and on the mud bars has been producing…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Bob Barnett reports from the Savannah/Richmond Hill area, “The water temperature is 45 degrees, and the water has been mostly clear. The redfish action has been good in February and should continue into March. As for the trout, they are not doing well. As the water warms in March, they will start…
The new year arrived with a rude surprise — abnormally cold temperatures. The north Georgia mountains saw temperatures in the single digits while the usually balmy coastal counties suffered through several consecutive nights in the mid to low 20s. As the air temperature plunged, so did the water temperature in coastal estuaries and the near-shore…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Robert Barnette reports, “January was a slow month with the water temperature dropping below normal. The speckled-trout bite was slow to not at all, although the redfish more than made up for it. Looking forward to February, the water should start to warm to the mid 50s. Look for the trout bite…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Bob Barnette reports, “December is all but a memory, and January is here. The water temps will be in the mid to low 50s. You should start looking for the larger speckled trout in the deeper water. The live bait of choice will be mud minnows. You can also use plastic swimbaits.…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Robert Barnett reports, “With cool winter months arriving, please do no think the saltwater fishing action is over. There have been good catches of sea trout in both Wassaw and Ossabaw sounds in the last weeks. The redfish are starting to school, and I mean some large schools. Look to the shallow…
Saltwater: Inshore: Decent. Capt. Bob Barnette reports, “As we move into the final days of October, the inshore saltwater action has been quite spotty. With the above-average tides causing the water to become muddy, it is hard to find clear water. Keeping that in mind, when you do find clear water, the bite has been…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Bob Barnette reports, “As fall arrives, sea trout and spot-tail bass action will increase both in numbers and for size. For trout, look for clear water and schools of small glass minnows and mullet on the top around creek mouths. Once you locate these baitfish, it should not be long before the…
