The waters surrounding Jekyll Island are a treat for fans of inshore and nearshore fishing. There are numerous hidden inlets and bays dotting the coastline, as well as estuaries and river confluences that provide amazing grounds for fish to feed and breed in. Island Angler Charters takes full advantage of this and will put you on the hottest bite around!

Join the captain on board our brand new 25' C-hawk with twin 140 Tohatsu outboards. That allows you to waste no time travelling and get down to fishing as soon as possible. She can comfortably hold up to 6 anglers, so put your fishing team together for some an exciting fishing adventure!

You'll get the chance to try out a variety of techniques, assisted and instructed by the captain as necessary. Bottom fishing, trolling, and popping, all while using light and heavy tackle will give you the best chance at getting that bite. The species you'll target are all fantastic fish such as Redfish, various Sharks, Barracuda, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Whitings, Silver Kings, and many others.

All required equipment is supplied by the charter captain. Lures and live bait are available, the bait is caught during the trip, it usually takes around 30 minutes. The first mate is on board to assist you and to clean and fillet your catch, but he works for tips so gratuity is appreciated. Customers are advised to bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and adequate clothing with them.

4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 27, 20266 adults

Captain Andy and Tyler were fantastic. They were both very knowledgeable not just about the fishing aspect but of the general area. I have been to Jekyll Island many times over the past 26 years and they told me a lot that I didn’t know. They were both always willing to assist us during the fishing portion, quick to bait hooks, untangle lines, etc. we caught many fish and sharks along the way. Very fun trip. I would highly recommend Captain Andy and Tyler. I will be reaching out to them again in the future.

Captain Andy Hicks has been fishing the waters of Georgia for over 3 decades. He's also been in the US Coast Guard for 5 years and has been guiding anglers for 2 and a half decades as well. He's obtained a vast knowledge of all the hidden bays and feeding spots of the area and he's eager to share them with his customers. Capt. Andy's favorite fish to target and fight with are the many Sharks that the coast of Georgia is known for, as well as the Silver King – both of these fish offer a tough and rewarding fight.
