Been in the Atlanta area the past 7 years. One of the activities I really miss is fishing reds in the winter months. Used to own a camp in Port Sulphur, Louisiana and loved to hit the shallow ponds and dams during winter months. Almost always limited out on beautiful Reds. This past summer I traveled down to the georgia coast and was suprised to see how similar the coastal marsh is to the Louisiana marsh. Thinking about heading back down to the coast in the next few weeks to find some good areas to catch a few Redfish. Anyone have recomendations of some good areas to start my search for these pole benders. |

Well, it all depends. Are you looking for a fight...or are you looking for dinner? I know how those Louisiana boys take more than they can consume. I practice catch in release down here, but I would be more than willing to tell you about a few good spots to fish for both average and trophy sized fish. Give me an E-mail if you're interested.

I just returned from a Striper / Red Fish trip to Savannah and Hilton Head. Had a good trip. Reds are schooled up at low tide in troughs. Caught about 10 on flies. Ran about 18" Also caught a 20.5 pound striper on fly.Send me an email and I'll send you a full report. Like Lousiana, the estuaries are vast and can be trickyl. Suggest you contact Captain Gregg Davis at Savannah Light Tackle Fishing Co. for advice and possible charter. Most of the red fishing is up in S.C.

I have fished south georgia red fish for a long time and recommend anyone that is new to it to focus on the oyster rakes and grassy points that are directly off the ocean. These are usually good spots especially on the incoming tide. As most people down here are going to tell you I cant put you right on them!!! |
