Fishing
Inshore: Real good for trout and reds. Capt. Greg Hildreth said they’re catching a lot of trout. “They’re small, but there’s been a bunch of action,” he said. Traditional float rigs are producing on the trout, while artificials haven’t been as effective lately. An exception is a DOA Shrimp fished under a float rig instead…
Inshore: The inshore bite has been good, said Capt. Greg Hildreth. “The trout are hitting on live shrimp as well as on the DOA shrimp in the glow color,” he said. You can also catch redfish on the mud flats at low tide by sight-fishing and casting soft jerkbaits. “The black tip shark action as…
I had meticulously calculated tides, checked sunrise times, and pored over my fishing log trying to choose a time that would maximize our chance of catching the seatrout bite just right to have a triple-digit day. The unknown variable was wind, but I had even rearranged my schedule to allow four days where the tide…
Tournament—there’s something about that word that gets the blood moving in many anglers. The competition, the recognition, the camaraderie, and the possible winning purse all combine to make tournament fishing something special. Many bass anglers have fished in tournaments, from local club events all the way up to FLW and B.A.S.S. sanctioned affairs. But until the…
Inshore: The fishing has been excellent for big, 2- to 3-lb. trout. Capt. Greg Hildreth says to concentrate on areas closer to the ocean as many of the bigger trout move to the beaches. The bite on the beaches is very good, particularly on the Cumberland Island beach (see article on page 60). The redfish…
Flounder season is here, and the early run of fish in southeast Georgia has some flounder the size of doormats just waiting to be caught. The fish have migrated back inshore from their winter haunts to the sand around nearshore reefs and wrecks. Now is the time to cash in on some hard fighting and…
Inshore: The inshore fishing for trout has been very good, and June should also be very good for numbers and better chances at bigger fish, according to Capt. Greg Hildreth. He said the trout are biting good on the standard slip-float rigs baited with good, lively shrimp. Also, he has been doing well sight fishing…
For most of us land-locked Georgians who spend our time fishing lakes and rivers, a 5-pounder is a BIG fish. Well, what if there were a place where 5-pounders, and up, are commonplace, and a fish under 20 inches is too little to keep? There is such a place, and though a pretty well-kept secret,…
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…
