Redfish

Redfish are stacked up!

<div>We went in search of redfish in the creeks and boy did we find them. We sat on the first drop and caught 40+ redfish in the matter of 30 minutes. The client decided he wanted to push into the shallow creeks and sight cast for the big girls and we ended up catching 8 or so big reds by sight fishing. It was an epic day of fishing!</div>

Redfish Bite

Matt, Jennifer and Stone came down to the coast for New Years and wanted to get on some reds. The 35 degree air and 55 degree water temp slowed the bite down a little but it was steady all morning. The big pigs were out in full force too! #bigredsfishingcharters #inshorefishing #georgiacoast
