The Golden Isles

St. Simons Island – Sea Island – Little St. Simons Island – Jekyll Island

The Golden Isles of Georgia offer entertainment for the whole family. Capt. Dave welcomes couples or parents with children on his boat.

When you aren’t fishing, enjoy the wonderful beaches of the Golden Isles. East Beach on St. Simons offers wide sandy beaches and gentle surf, perfect for the family.

Shopping on St. Simons is excellent. There are many small boutiques and shops to satisfy even the most discriminating shopper. Maggie’s Boutique offers a super friendly atmosphere. It is a beach boutique and is known locally as “Lady Dawg Headquarters.” Check them out for casual beachwear for her and all the UGA Bulldog paraphenalia you could ever want.

Dining in the Golden Isles can be as formal or as casual as you like. The Georgia Sea Grill, an upscale local restaurant, specializes in local sea food; and CJ’s pizza has pizza and Italian Specialties that will please the whole family. Check out Tramici’s or Halyard’s for farm to table fare. Brogen’s in the Village has the best burger in town. So muc

The warm hospitality, like the glorious weather, welcomes you year-round.

Red Fish Tailing in the Grass

Spring Fishing Report and Special Announcement

Fly Fishing Film Festival is coming to Brunswick on April 12

A full day of fly-fishing goodness is planned on April 12.  Special fly tying with Blane Choclett, Vendor Tents and a skiff show with the Film Festival starting at 6:00.  This is the major fundraiser for the Georgia Saltwater Anglers Association.  This is one of the few organizations pushing for red fish and general fisheries conservation.  Make plans today to attend.

We are in the Spring pattern for fishing.  The big winter schools of reds seem to have broken up.  On good wind days, we can find these fish on the flats or at the backs of creeks.  However, they are not everywhere, and it is necessary to actively seek them out.  As the Spring progresses, the weather will become more stable, with light Southerly winds in the morning changing to the sea breeze in the afternoon

Trout are coming back shallow and are being found on Oyster bars and at creek mouths.  You must move around during this season.  We find them one here and one there.

The Triple Tail are back.  This is a unique fishery where these fish free float in front of Jekyll Island.  It is also a spotty fishery.  Sometimes they pop up and other times they don’t.  Look at my blog on Triple Tail fishing on my Captain’s Musings Page. You must have light, westerly winds to hunt these fish in the ocean.  At this time of year, if the conditions are right, I like to combine shallow water sight fishing for reds with sight fishing for Triple Tail.  Catching your first Triple Tail on the fly is an exhilarating experience.

At the water approaches 70 degrees, the May flood tide fishing should be excellent.  We have good tides for tailing reds on the evenings of May 23-25 and June 14, then June 21-23.  Call if you are interested in booking one of these days.

I have lots of availability for the flood tides of September and October.  There are some excellent tide dates still available.  Call, text or email to enjoy this Classic Southern Fly Fishing to tailing redfish in the flooded marsh.
