What We Catch
Inshore & Coastal Species
General information on the types of gamefish encountered on any given day fishing the marshes and creeks of Coastal Georgia.
Flounder
Light tackle offers both the greatest sport and best chance for catching flounder. Both artificial lures and natural bait can be used. The flounder’s reputation as table fare is unsurpassed in Georgia.
Speckled Trout
Seatrout found inshore and nearshore in and around marsh flats, shorelines, deep holes and channels and above oyster bars. Spotted seatrout make excellent table fare.
Redfish
Redfish will readily strike bait, lures and flies. Their habit of tailing in shallow water and the schooling of bull reds at times in open water off beaches make them a favorite target of sight-casters. Reds hit hard and run strong, particularly in skinny water.
Marsh Hen
Clapper and king rails live in the same places where redfish run wild, chasing baitfish and crabs during high tides in the fall. If you’re an inshore angler, you’ve likely heard marsh hens make that rapid, intense and strange little call from dense marsh near salt creeks
Tarpon
Considered one of the great saltwater game fishes. They are prized not only because of their great size, but also because of the fight they put up and their spectacular leaping ability.
Shark
The Georgia coast is known for its healthy shark population and infamous for its large black tip sharks. The black tip shark puts up a fight and aerial display rivaled only by that of a tarpon.
