Island Angler Charters

Jekyll Island, United States
250+ reviews
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.

    Would definitely do this again

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing • 6 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.

    We caught a whole lot of fish! Over 40 total Whitings, a few Jacks, 2 big old fighting Stingrays, 4 Nice sized sharks. All on a 4 hour trip. Captain Andy, and his mate Tyler were great with the kids, and great at putting us on fish! Even took time on the way back to stop and let us look at a pod of dolphins.

    Captain Andy and Tyler were amazing hosts. We caught a haul of Whiting, a shark and a stingray. Andy’s skill at filleting the fish was beyond impressive. Highly recommend!
