Fishing the coast

[Truck123]

I've never fished off the ga coast but coming back from Savannah this weekend me and my wife got to talking about it. Any body have any recommendations on where to.go, we will be fishing out of kayaks .

Subbed. I go surf fishing in Texas a couple times a year but also am interested in doing some surf fishing in Georgia

Jekyll island has some good surf and pier fishing, and plenty of places to put your kayaks in. And a nice campground & hotels. Current is strong beware. Pay attention to tide schedules as well.

We went to Savannah, Skidaway Island, and Jekyll Island with our hiking group. At the pier, a guy caught a big fish, but its catch and release. So be mindful of that and others like it.

I usually do catch and release on the reds. I keep the whiting and crokers for bait. Both are good eats but the big ones are fun to catch.

I went kayak fishing and camped on Little Tybee Island years ago. Caught a sea trout and a sting ray. The ray tasted like mud. It was a fun experience but I much preferred the deep sea fishing trip I went on last summer in Alabama. Caught red snapper, fought dolphins, water was super choppy, had a blast!

 

[Jackie Graham]

I have caught several rays but was told they don't taste good. I usually keep 1 and use it for shark bait.

The shark fishing off the pier and in the surf can be off the charts at certain times at St. Simon and Jekyll Island.
We were catching small hammerheads (3') off the south end of Jekyll a few years ago. Lost count on how many.
Pretty good whiting fishing on St. Simon beach.
Keep a look out for the sharks. I read somewhere that the waters between St. Simon & Jekyll are some of the prime breeding waters for multiple species of sharks.

I have caught a few things off the beach at Jekyll. Check out a few of the vids I have posted on YouTube.
