Fishing Reports
The November bite is absolutely smoking hot. The last few days I have brought home more than 50 fish a trip with trout, redfish, flounder and black drum. Water temps fell to 62 degrees, which is perfect. The redfish bite is absolutely crazy good. Caught 50-plus today from 14 to 38 inches. I have caught…
With deer season in full swing this month, many anglers trade rods for rifles in hopes of killing a big-horned buck… maybe even one that might end up getting them in the GON Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. However, when the crisp November fog clears each morning, you won’t find Tyler Bean in a deer stand. As a…
A Brunswick man has set a new Georgia state record for an almaco jack weighing in at 7 pounds, 0.7 ounces. The fish is a new species in the Georgia Saltwater Game Fish Program and no prior record existed. The records program committee, made of Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff and biologists, approved the addition…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The redfish are as thick as I have ever seen them in my 42 years of fishing for a living. They have been from 13 inches to 48 inches all mixed up in the same places. Every trip this month, we have caught a bunch of redfish. Some days we…
Shantel Curlett, 53, caught a 2-lb., 3.52-oz. pompano Oct. 8 on East Beach of St. Simons Island while participating in the Kids Can Fish Foundation’s Running of the Bulls Charity Redfish Tournament, setting a new Georgia women’s saltwater record. She beat the previous Florida pompano record of 1-lb., 7.68-ozs. held in a tie by Cathy…

The Coastal Resources Division (CRD) of Georgia DNR sank a retired tugboat offshore for use as an artificial reef. The 41-foot tugboat named Brenda K. was sunk at Artificial Reef KBY, 8 nautical miles east of Cumberland Island (GPS: 30.805283,…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey of Miss Judy Charters reports, “I consider the month of October as being one of the best fishing months for both fish and fishermen. Inshore and offshore fish are in full migration mode. With water temperatures on the fall, the redfish, spotted seatrout and flounder bites get more predictable. Places…
Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The last couple of days the redfish bite has been smoking. It happens most years around this time. This morning (Sept. 9), we had a 15-fish limit in the boat in about 25 minutes. We released another 30 slot-limit fish and several around 30 inches before 10:30. It doesn’t ever get any better…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “In September, once you get the bite going, it’s easy to change your bait. For instance, if you start using live shrimp and they all happen to die or you run out, your best bet then is to change over to any leftover parts from previous hits and/or start…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “We have one of the biggest crops of redfish that I have ever seen. Some days it has been hard to get away from the small redfish. By the middle of August, catching a limit of legal fish should be easy. These small redfish will hit a shrimp any way…
