Right now, we’ll fish early and be looking for rolling tarpon. We’ll load out of Punta Gorda and spend our time in the deeper holes, around the bridges, and canal mouths of the upper harbor. The mouth of the Peace River also provides an excellent...

August 2019

Most likely, we’ll continue hunting tarpon this month. It’s hot and subsequently it’ll limit the time we have on the water. Fishing early is key while it’s both calm and cooler. The upper harbor is the place to be and we’ll load out of...

Year in and year out, this is one of the better months to be on the water. Being fall, numerous species are in full transition. In addition, water temperatures are cooling a bit and the wind should still be moderate. To begin with, as they’re preparing for the spawn,...

Winter Time red fishing in the Golden Isles

Winter time fly fishing red fish means big schools of fish, clear water and great fishing.  In the winter the water cools and as the plankton and algae die, the water clears.  On neap tides you can see 8 feet down.  So unusual for South Georgia flats fishing.  On good weather days it is possible to have shots at schools of 25-50 fish.  Sometimes more.  Fishing success is highly dependent on the weather in the Winter.  I am not heavily booked at this time of year.  Try to be flexible with the days you can get on the water so we can be on the water on the best weather days.
