We have been enjoying some excellent fishing for Trout and Redfish around St. Simons Island, but this weekend it seems that the weather is going to get the better of us. It hasn't stopped the fish from biting but it is making it quite uncomfortable to be on the water.
The water is muddy but if you can find a small patch of clean water you should be able to get on some fish. St. Simons Island is experiencing some extremely high tides right now and the one good thing about that is the opportunity to catch tailing Redfish in the flooded marsh grass. This is a fun combination of hunting and fishing as you stalk the fish down and carefully place a bait in its face.
These are also some great tides for marsh hen hunting. Marsh hens are small brown birds that live in the thich marsh grass. As far as table fare... well... they taste like mud, but they are fun to shoot and there are always some locals that are willing to take them off of your hands.
When the weather clears, the fishing at St. Simons Island will be in it's prime for Fall inshore fishing. The tides should return to normal and the water should cool right down to the perfect range to allow for some great days of fishing.
If you need information about fishing at St. Simons Island whether it is shore fishing, fishing from a boat, or charter fishing, give me a call and I'll be happy to help you out.
Tight lines!
