    What does this picture say? All around family fish catching smiles! And where are the fine fishermen from? Marietta, Georgia




    While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Phil Adams Marietta, Georgia caught this nice trophy red fish! Yes, this fish was promptly and successfully released back to the wild! What does this mean? We fishermen get the chance to catch it all over again! But the best news is it is still growing. So therefore this fish most likely is going to be bigger! All very good news brought to us by Captain Garrett!



    While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Phil and Scott Adams Garrett Marietta, Georgia (and their father Marshall) had great family fishing catching fun! Scott hooked up, fought, landed, held up, and released this fish in record time!

Well, could be 14 nice fillets or 28 halves or 56 big chunks of over bite size pieces!




    Captain Garrett Ross and Tripp the wonder dog decided to do a little inshore scouting! Both are with Miss Judy Charters! Here’s how it works: Captain Garrett rides slowly over areas looking for fish and Tripp the Wonder Dog points downward when he knows that they are exactly under the boat! It is a great combination for sure! Captain Garrett and his fish finding dog Tripp!

    According to Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters “those boys can fish!” Captain Garrett took Jamie Parnell of Guelph, Ontario Lee Huber of Saskatoon Saskatchewan, and Ryan Neusch, Texas (Groom) for an inshore fish catching, keeping, and releasing kind of trip. On the fish cleaning table are the fish that they kept for eating while visiting Savannah! What’s for dinner? Blackened red fish, sheepshead stew, and almond-tized spotted sea trout! The bottom line they all look pretty darn fish catching happy to me!

    Savannah Snapper Banks



    Johanna Durham Savannah Georgia is holding up a nice genuine red snapper that she caught on a drop through rig! Yep, this fish hit a ½ size piece of squid wing!





    Captain Judy, Dr Brad Durham, and Captain Kathy are having some real time fun! Yep, this genuine red snapper was released. And on this particular day while bottom fishing at the Savannah Snapper banks lots of these beautiful fish were quickly released back to the wild!







    Check out this nice knobbed porgy that Johanna Durham Savannah, Georgia caught on a small hook while using a little piece of cut squid wing! Beautiful colors! Back in my younger days when I used to go to the stream almost every day! after trolling I would l take my customers on a bottom fishing affair that they most likely are still talking about. Why? This is just one of the types of bottom fish that we used to catch while fishing is 200 feet of water. I remember what happened every time we caught one of these beautiful fish! My first mate (of 25 plus years) during these blue water times was Captain Ali Young. As soon as this fish was pulled over the gunnel, she would always say, “That’s a knobbed porgy, you know, like a door knob with an ED attached!” This fish was caught in 95 feet of water while bottom fishing at the middle snapper banks!

    I always kept onboard a good fish identification book! Why? Well, when bottom fishing in depths of 200 to 250 feet it wasn’t unusual to catch a fish that I just couldn’t correctly identify. Heck, you don’t even want touch them until you find out a little about the fish on your hook. When I started fishing at these depths I started catch snowy grouper, sand/golden tile, soap fish, tattler fish, Coney, all types of colorful parrotfish, file fish, trunkfish, and I could go on! Just know this it seems the deeper we fished the more colorful and interesting our catches became! We are still offering this 14 hour blue water Gulf Stream trip! Captain Ryan Howard of Miss Judy Charters is bringing them back to life! So if you want to give these 14 hours Gulf Stream trips a try, give us a call 912 897 4921, and let us tell you all about it. It’s not just a trolling or just a bottom fishing trip “The sky’s the limit opportunity kind of fish catching situation!”

    Johanna Durham Savannah Georgia caught this nice trigger fish! Captain Kathy Brown is assisting! Where? In the mouth while bottom fishing at the Savannah Snapper Banks! Did you know that during wooden ship vessel era that the trigger’s fish skin was removed, hung out to dry, and used for sanding the decks of ships? Well, it was! And according to my father, once this skin is dried it makes for the best sand paper ever! Trigger fish skin does not come in any particular girt. It basically is an all around piece of sand paper meaning course in the middle and the closer to the edges the finer it gets.



    From left to right: Samuel Anthony Rochester, MN, Richard Anuskiewicz Savannah, Captain Kathy Brown, Bill Powell Savannah, and Bill Ewbank Savannah. What is this? It is a group of fishermen with fish on their hooks! Or Get out the old frying pan, because we are having fresh fish tonight or Hello Flying Fish Bar and Grill we are bringing our fish to you! Whatever the case, these fishermen can definitely have fish tonight if they like!









    While offshore fishing at the Savannah Snapper Banks with Captain Judy Richard Anuskiewicz Savannah, Georgia caught some really nice black sea bass! Here are two of them! This fisherman started fishing at the beginning and never stopped until the fish day was done! The fact of the matter is he arranged his eating and drinking around my resituating the boat! How do I know this? Richard asked! I simply love these types of fishers!









    While offshore fishing at the Savannah Snapper Banks with Captain Judy Samuel Anthony Rochester, MN caught some really nice black sea bass! I asked them to count all of their fish, whether we kept them or not! Well, Well Samuel either had over sixty or right about at it! And he had much fun doing it, caught a fish almost every time he dropped, never complained about the size of the fish, and just had a ball catching! You noticed I said “Catching not Fishing?” Well, that is exactly what Samuel did!

    While offshore fishing at the Savannah Snapper Banks with Captain Judy Bill Powell Savannah, caught quite few nice sea bass also known as black fish! Bill quit counting fish and started coming up random numbers. One number I believe was 539! Bill was a very quiet fisherman, but oh so precise! Just about every time he dropped he caught two fish!

    While offshore fishing with Captain Judy Bill Ewbank Savannah caught some really nice black sea bass. Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters is sporting big thumbs up! In the counting fish department Bill did not play that game. He already knew he caught the most as well as the biggest fish! And that would be one way or the other! Got to love a true fisherman!



    Captain Judy releasing yet another genuine red snapper! What number caught fish is this? I stopped counting at 15! Why? I got tired of keeping up! And of course, there were so many genuine red snapper, which were caught in sizes from peanuts to sows! What does this mean? Peanut genuine red snapper are about hand size, sows can’t be laid down in a number 3 wash tub, and then there were all the sizes in between. It was a busy all sizes represented genuine red snapper catching releasing day!














    Captain Judy and Dr. Brad showing off a just caught genuine red snapper! My smile brought to me by Dr Brad Durham in two ways...the first he is my dentist and second he caught this fish as well as many more!




    Jo Durham and Captain Kathy Brown sporting big fish catching smiles! Dr. Brad concurs! Jo is holding up a nice vermilion snapper also known as a b-liner!
