What anglers said about fishing in Georgia

Try to book a trip during the peak times for the kind of fish you are targeting. Weather is certainly an important consideration as well. Booking on a week day is probably a good idea as well. There will be less competition for the fishing spots you need to investigate.

Just be prepared to have the time of your life. The fishing is good and the scenery is amazing.

Always remember the captain can take you to fish. But they can’t make them bite. Enjoy the time and learn any tips you can.

Come with an open mind. Not every fish is a keeper and you don’t always get every fish into the boat.

Be sure to wear sunglasses, sunscreen, (especially on your face), warm jacket (as the air is cooler when the boat is moving around. Have patience, not everything you catch is a keeper, and you don’t catch everything that tugs on your line. Just go to enjoy being our on the water and everything else is an added bonus.

Allow lots of extra travel time if you're driving the expressways around Atlanta. Dress for the weather, it's colder out on the lake in the fall. Sunglasses are a must, the water gets very sparkly.

Go for Redfish. They are a ton of fun to catch as they put up a great fight and if you keep them they taste great too.

Bring a light jacket during the cooler months, it gets a bit chilly enroute to the fishing spots.

Do yourself a favor if you haven’t fished Carters Lake and hire a guide. I caught two strippers each over 36 inches plus a half dozen spotted bass on a four hour trip with Captain Len Slay on Carters Lake in October 2023

Make sure you have sunscreen and the proper clothing for that time of year. I would also recommend Bad Intentions fishing with Marcus Knowledgeable and I’m also certain you will catch a fish., and have a great time.

Fishing in Savannah in September was some of the best fishing we ever had. Everything was so active and the temperatures were beautiful.

Make sure to see the weather beforehand because it can affect the biting, but, just be patient because even with stormy conditions, I felt the sharks bite and it was a hell of a time :)

If you are booking a fishing trip, Travis is your guy. We had an absolute blast. We were booked on a day with bad weather and he called us and pushed it to the next day so we had a great day. We were not experienced fishers and he was very patient and made sure we had fun. Also, pulling up to the dock, we had may more fish than the other charters so he knows his stuff. Travis IS Georgia fishing. No need to look at any other captains. He is THE captain.
