Inshore Fishing
Our inshore boats are all approximately 21 feet long. They are open shallow draft boats that are prefect for light tackle fishing and fly fishing. The fishing is very good for red fish, spotted sea trout, flounder, shark, triple tail, tarpon, jack crevalle, Spanish mackerel, lady fish, whiting, croaker, black drum, and sheepshead. This is a great fishing trip for those that don't want to have any motion from the ocean.
All of our inshore boats have both spinning and baiting casting reels on board. All inshore captains always do their best to stay with the fish’s migrating, moving, and feeding habits.
All inshore boats are USCG safety approved for up to 3 passengers. All boats have the latest electronic equipment. All bait and tackle provided for all types of trips. Food and drinks can be provided, with prior arrangement, when necessary. Fish cleaning services are available at reasonable rates.

FALL SALTWATER FISHING ALONG THE GEORGIA COAST
The waters off coastal Georgia and its Islands are teeming with Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Shark and other species. It is also one of the prettiest spots on the East Coasts around,with giant oak trees twisted and knotted by the saltwater spray and ocean winds.
Bull Reds return to Georgia waters every September. These fish reach seventy and eighty pounds and spend most of their time in the open ocean. But for some unknown reason they return to the same coastal sand bars they grew up on year after year. Anglers using cut and live bait can take advantage of this knowledge and catch these great fighting fish. Heavy rods such as Shakespeare’s eight foot Ugly Stick and quality reels such as the Pflueger Contender spooled with 40 pound mono, and 100 pound mono leaders are a must with Bull Reds. Anglers anchor, often in shallow water, and present baits behind the boat. Cut and live menhaden, mullet, whiting and ladyfish are fished on the bottom. A 7/0 to 9/0 circle hook is used because all of these fish are too big to keep. Circle hooks are designed to penetrate the lip ridge area of the fish’s mouth, they rarely gut hook. This allows anglers to release fish unharmed.
Bull Reds remain in Georgia waters through November. Come join us for a Redfish trip you will never forget.
October and November are the best months for Speckled Sea Trout and River Reds. Both species school and feed heavily in preparation for the winter migration up area rivers and creeks. Sea Trout will travel in tight schools, gorging on shrimp, finger mullet, menhaden and other finfish. Live bait is the ticket for Trout and we here in South Georgia hardly every go Trout fishing with out a quart of live shrimp. The best way to fish live bait is under a float rig. Float rigs keep the bait just off the bottom and prevents it from hanging up on the many oyster bars in our area. Limber rods and quality reels are a must when Trout fishing. Trout have tender mouths and a limber rod will help keep the hook from pulling. I like Shakespeare Ugly Stick Lite seven and a half foot rods mated to Pflueger President level wind and Medalist spinning reels. The new Shakespeare Ugly Braid braided line is preferred because it floats; this helps in keeping the bow out of your line, ensuring better hook ups.
SPRING AND SUMMER ARE ALSO GREAT
Immature or River Reds, those fish that have not reached five years of age, remain in the estuary into which they were born. Upon reaching adulthood at age five they migrate into open ocean waters and spend most of their time there. Immature Spot Tails can be found in the same areas as Sea Trout in the Fall. Often a Trout will be caught on one cast and a Red on the next. Look for Trout and Reds near oyster bars, on mud flats and along deep drop offs. All areas hold good numbers of bait. On cold mornings mud flats are particularly good as the sun warms the dark mud which in turn warms the water. If you want Reds for table fare this is where you will find them. The slot size for Reds in Georgia is above 14 and below 23 inches.
Sea Trout and River Redfish begin schooling in October and remain in our area through December.
Starting in June and peaking in July and August the Silver King ( Tarpon ) show up in good numbers in our bays and sounds. We use cut mullet and Pogies to lure these monsters to bite. On a good day you might have several good bites.
We also have a great Shark fishing season. These are truly a hand full on the other end of your line.
