The wrecks near the south end of the island are brimming with huge Bull Reds and Sheepshead this time of year. The old lighthouse will keep you company while you await the bite.

The flats are still clear enough for some good sight fishing to be done. Seeing schools of fish in inches-deep water is almost as exciting as hooking them.

It's still a bit early for Tripletail, and the strong northern winds will be your main obstacle in getting fish. A good idea is to drift shrimp at a relative distance from the fish.

More and more sharks will be moving in as the month goes on, with the best place to find them being a mile or two southeast of Jekyll Island.

The second half of May usually marks a great start as far as offshore fishing goes. You shouldn't have to go more than a dozen miles out to find reefs teeming with Cobia.

This is when you can expect Tripletail to move further inshore to sounds and rivers. Try using Pogies and live Shrimp for the best results when going after them there.

f the water is warm enough, we can expect to see some serious Tarpon moving in around this time. 80°F is what everyone is hoping to see, and it is usually the case.

Around the end of summertime, the anglers who aren't knee-deep in Tarpon are the ones focused on Sharks. Offshore fishing is also amazing, but it's hard to ignore the Silver King.

September is usually when inshore fishing picks up again. From Redfish to Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder, you can get real diversity out of your trip.

White Shrimp is considered to be the best Georgia has to offer in terms of seafood, so do yourself a favor and try it while it's in season, because it won't be for very long.

Expect to hear local anglers mention the 'Redfish roundup.' This means the Bull Reds go into a feeding frenzy, giving you a perfect chance to help them out.

The reefs close to St. Andrews Beach continue to be home to plenty of Black Seabass and Bull Redfish, while the clear inshore waters make for fantastic sight fishing.
