Fishing Jekyll Island

St. Simons, Jekyll and Brunswick: piers, sounds and oyster-lined creeks. Fish the moving tide - the range here is large.

What's biting now (Fall): Redfish and spotted seatrout feed hard in the creeks; one of the best seasons on the Georgia coast.

Commonly caught in this area: Redfish, seatrout, sheepshead, tarpon in summer and whiting.

Also caught here: whiting, croaker, tripletail, tarpon, blacktip shark.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

Best baits here6 fish

Redfish (red drum)

Spotted seatrout (speckled trout)

Sheepshead

Tarpon

Whiting (kingfish)

Spot and croaker

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
