St. Simons Island Fishing Report – June 2025
Summer is in full swing on the Georgia coast, and St. Simons Island fishing charters are delivering unforgettable action both inshore and offshore. With warm waters and calm seas, anglers are enjoying some of the best fishing conditions of the year.
Inshore Action
The inshore bite is red-hot right now. Spotted seatrout and redfish are feeding aggressively around oyster beds and grass lines during the early morning tides. Live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics like Vudu Shrimp are producing consistent hookups. Flounder are also showing up in good numbers near creek mouths and sandy drop-offs.
Nearshore & Offshore
For those booking St. Simons Island fishing charters targeting nearshore wrecks, king mackerel, cobia, and Spanish mackerel are the stars of the show. Kingfish are striking slow-trolled live baits, while cobia are cruising structure and responding well to bucktail jigs. Offshore, anglers are reporting solid catches of red snapper, vermillion snapper, and even gag grouper—though be sure to check current regulations before heading out.
Shark & Tarpon Season
June also marks the beginning of shark and tarpon season. Blacktip and bonnethead sharks are abundant and provide thrilling action for anglers of all ages. Tarpon are starting to roll in, especially around the mouths of the Altamaha and Satilla Rivers. These silver kings are a bucket-list catch and a specialty of many St. Simons Island fishing charters.
