Reel in the Big Ones on St. Simons Island

Ready for some serious rod-bending action? You're in for a treat with our St. Simons Island fishing charters. We're talking about the kind of day where you might just land that trophy redfish you've been dreaming about. Our half-day trips are perfect for both seasoned anglers and folks who are just getting their feet wet in the fishing world. We'll cruise through the maze-like marshes and intercoastal waterways, giving you a front-row seat to some of the best inshore fishing Georgia has to offer.

What's the Catch?

Picture this: you're out on the water, the sun's warming your face, and your line suddenly goes tight. That's the thrill we're after! We focus on the local favorites - sea trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, and if you're lucky, maybe even a tarpon. Our trips are all about using live bait to entice these fish, and trust me, when they're biting, it's non-stop action. We've got room for two on the boat, so bring your fishing buddy or make it a special one-on-one trip. Just a heads up, we don't provide meals, so pack a sandwich and some snacks to keep your energy up while you're reeling in the big ones.

Bait, Cast, Repeat

Here's the deal with our fishing style - we keep it simple and effective. We're talking about good old-fashioned live bait fishing. We'll rig you up with some prime bait that the local fish just can't resist. You'll be using light to medium tackle, perfect for feeling every nibble and fight. We'll show you how to cast into those sweet spots where the fish are hanging out - under docks, along grass lines, or near oyster beds. It's all about reading the water and knowing where those fish are likely to be hiding. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll walk you through every step, from baiting your hook to landing your catch.

Local Lineup: Fish We're After

Let's talk about the stars of the show - the fish you'll be targeting on your St. Simons Island charter:

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. They're ambush predators, so when you feel that thump on your line, set the hook fast! Flounder are most active in the fall as they prepare for their offshore migration. Anglers love targeting them not just for the fight, but also because they're some of the tastiest fish in the sea.

Tarpon: Known as the "silver king," hooking into a tarpon is like trying to reel in a Mack truck. These massive fish can reach over 100 pounds and are famous for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs. Late summer is prime time for tarpon around St. Simons. Landing one of these giants is a true bucket-list achievement for any angler.

Sea Trout: Also called spotted seatrout, these fish are a staple of inshore fishing. They're known for their delicate bite and fun fight on light tackle. Sea trout hang around all year, but the bite really heats up in the spring and fall. Look for them around grass flats and oyster beds, where they ambush bait fish.

Redfish: The bruisers of the inshore world, redfish (or red drum) are prized for their strong fights and copper-red coloration. They love to cruise in shallow water, sometimes with their tails sticking out of the water - a sight that gets any angler's heart racing. Fall is fantastic for big bull reds, but you can catch them year-round in various sizes.

Tripletail: These oddball fish are a real treat to catch. They get their name from their rounded fins that make them look like they have three tails. Tripletail are ambush predators that often float near the surface, mimicking floating debris. They're most common in the warmer months and put up a surprisingly strong fight for their size.
