    Question Surf Fishing Tybee

    I love to surf fish! I usually surf fish in Destin, Ft. Walton, and Indian Pass, all in FL. However, I am going to stay around home this year and try my luck at Tybee. I fish for Blacktips, Bonnetheads, and Sharpnose Sharks in Indian Pass. I fish for Tarpon, Lady Fish, and Mackrel in Destin/Ft. Walton. I'm not sure exactly what I need to try when I get to Tybee. I do not want to go to the pier and fish around EVERYBODY. So, I assume the best place (from the surf) is the north point of the island at the mouth of the river. I will be there June 8. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know of any bait/lures and/or locations.

    Thank you so much in advance for any tips you can provide!

    Re: Surf Fishing Tybee

    I fished there last May. West of the peir is a public beach area and yes there can be lots of people there. There is a rock pile extending about 25 to 30 feet out. There is a wash on boths sides of the end of the pile. I fished as the tide was coming in; just as the water began to cover the end of the pile the fish started bitting, reds, drum, sheephead, trout and whiting. I used fresh dead shrimp, salted. I caught more fish in a week than ever. The locals fish this area quite a bit so you will likely see them throughout the week. Fishing was best early in the morning if the tide was coming in. Let me know how you do. I will be heading to South Fl a week after you're in Tybee. Nothing beats surf fishing. Good Luck.

    Thanks! I've been to Tybee many times but never to fish. I've seen people fishing the south jetty and it look like a good spot. I will surely try there. Thanks again!

    That sounds like a good spot. For the best Tybee Island fishing or surf fishing for that matter, I recommend you go three circle hooks with squid or shrimp. Shrimp tend to come off a lot easier. Get a PVC ppe, throw over the breakers and wait and see.
