angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

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.

We spent 4 hours on the water with Shelby and we had a blast. We caught whiting, sea trout, shark, catfish, and stingray. Shelby was so knowledgeable and fun. He also cleaned the fish we could keep. Highly recommend this fishing charter. Lisa, Joel and Isabel
