Georgia Tarpon & Shark Season

Tarpon arrive along the Georgia coast with the summer heat, and during the peak months acres of rolling fish can be found around the Golden Isles. Georgia tarpon regularly exceed 100 pounds and deliver powerful runs, spectacular jumps and a memorable challenge. Tarpon are released boat-side, so bring a camera for that once-in-a-lifetime photo.

Sharks are on the Georgia coast from spring through fall, with big blacktips putting on an aerial show rivaled only by tarpon. Shark trips are one of Capt. Greg’s most exciting options for families and groups, with hard-fighting fish and plenty of thrills.
