Fishing
Lots of Georgia anglers have a desire to go saltwater fishing offshore. Unfortunately, because they think offshore means a 40-mile run, or their boat is too small, they stay inshore. There is good news for those with smaller boats — those in the 18- to 20-foot range. This month you can get in some “offshore”…
This is a very special month, no matter what you like to do. Weather it’s just being outdoors enjoying the changing weather, being up in a tree in your favorite deer stand in pursuit of a Georgia whitetail or taking some time to stock the freezer with fresh fish, things just turn plain awesome when…
With the temperature on the field in Athens hovering in the mid 90s for a 5:30 GA vs SC nail-biter, it’s hard to imagine water cooling down, but it always does. By Georgia/Florida weekend the boat ramp parking lots up and down the coast will be as packed as the Gator Bowl RV City parking…
Inshore: The inshore fishing for trout has been very good lately, and this month it should get even better with more big fish coming into play. Capt. Greg Hildreth said he’s had some good catches on live bait on slip-float rigs. “The sight fishing for the inshore reds has also been good. I had some…
Inshore: The trout fishing has already started to pick up, and folks are catching them on the traditonal float-cork rig with shrimp. The trout fishing should get better and better with each warm, stable day this month, according to Capt. Greg Hildreth. Also, sight fishing for reds with artificials like soft jerkbaits is going on…

Capt. Judy was on deck directing traffic —“Bring your line under this one — you guys bring your lines in.” At the center of the commotion on the rocking fishing boat was GON Editor Brad Gill, who had a white-knuckled, death-grip on a pool-cue-sized rod that was bent over the gunnels like he had hooked…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Greg Hildreth said as usual, the southern Georgia coast is blessed with an awesome shallow bite for redfish. “They are biting great in shallow water, and it’s pretty much sight fishing. I had a guy last week who caught nine, all on artificials — Spike-It soft jerkbaits,” Capt. Greg said. The mild winter…
Saltwater: Inshore: A very mild winter has kept the inshore fishing going, said Capt. Greg Hildreth. “We’re still sight fishing for reds — there’s been plenty of that — and we’re still catching trout. It’s 72 degrees outside right now,” Greg said on Friday, January 20. “This is the mildest winter we’ve had a while,…
Saltwater: Inshore: Though fewer folks go after sea trout this time of year, Capt. Greg Hildreth said the trout fishing is very good. “We’ve had mild weather this month.
