Island Lure Charters is here to help you experience the stunning waters of St. Simons Island.

These waters are known for Black Drum, Redfish, Bonnethead Shark, Blacktip Shark, Flounder, Hammerhead Shark, Bull Shark, Lemon Shark, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Whiting, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be casting lines from a 25' C-Hawk center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in St. Simons Island for yourself, with Island lure charters!

Good time and good catch
2 Hour Kids Trip / Family / Shark on March 18, 20242 adults

We choose to only go out for a few hours, but happened to get blessed with good fishing at the spot captain Jeremy chose, caught well over 30 fish in two hours brought home some keepers for dinner. Even managed to see some dolphins on the way home. Nice trip and a good captain.

Captain Jeremy is First Class
4 Hour - Capts Choice on July 24, 20243 adults

My two teenage boys and I had a great time fishing with Island Lure Charters. We each caught several fish, including hammerhead sharks! If we fish these waters again, no doubt we will seek to hire Captain Jeremy at Island Lure.
