Pick the fishing experience for your vacation
The best trip starts with what your group wants to do. If you are bringing children or trying saltwater fishing for the first time, explore our family fishing trips. All ages and experience levels are welcome, and Capt. Greg helps beginners get comfortable with the equipment.
For anglers interested in redfish, spotted seatrout and flounder, our inshore fishing charters focus on the marshes, creeks and coastal waters of the Golden Isles. Ask about the species and conditions expected during your visit.
Looking for a different challenge? Discuss shark and tarpon fishing or an offshore charter. These plans depend on the season, weather and sea conditions. Let Capt. Greg know your priorities so he can help you choose an appropriate trip.
