Mid December 2020 observations

by | Dec 14, 2020 | Fishing Reports

Well, now that it’s cooled off, the reality of working with the wind has set in. That, and the extreme low tides, have definitely changed the landscape. At least hurricane season is over. So now, we find ourselves looking for those windows of opportunity between the affects of those cool north winds associated with seasonal fronts. When we get it right, it’s probably as good as it gets with what I’d like to call Chamber of Commerce days with moderate December breezes. We don’t have to be on the water at the crack of dawn and the water is as clear as it gets. Let’s chat and try to put one of those days together.

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.
