Inshore
As far as the inshore bite our captains are catching a little of everything from red fish, spotted sea trout, flounder, whiting, sharks, sheepshead, black drum, cobia, and other biters. It is all about getting the right bait so as to get the bite a going...live shrimp, especially when fishing inshore is the best bait. However, sometimes live bait isn’t available! So I suggest the next best bait, which is the ever popular hardy mud minnow. And if you can’t find or catch this bait I suggest once again trying to throw the old cat net and whatever you catch put it on your hook!

Artificial Reefs
While fishing with Captain Ken Kennickell and Captain Deidra Jeffcoat of Miss Judy Charters this fishing team had quite a bit of fish catching action.
Please meet from left to right: Jonathan Mullis holding a fist full of Spanish mackerel, Brittney Cranford holding two nice spanish macks, Sarah Bynum holding her personal fist full of Spanish mackerel, and there is Bill Bynum holding a spade fish in his right hand and a king and Spanish mackerel in his left hand. (All fishermen are from Macon, Georgia.) Now let talk about this fish day...it was a trolling trip firstly! Not a bottom fishing or spade fishing trip! The Spanish and king mackerel all were caught while trolling at about 5 to 6 knots. The artificial bait used was 0 and 00 Clark spoons, which were pulled behind assorted sizes of planers. (#1, #2, and #3 planers) Now let talking about this large spade fish that Bill Bynum is holding. It is a nice one for sure, but it was not caught the generic way! However, it was caught the fisherman way, which mean lots of reeling a going on! It was caught while regular trolling for mackerel! And once again it just goes to show us that when fishing in the ocean that you don’t really know what you might catch and how you are going to do it with what!
Please meet from left to right: Lane McCullough, age 13, Ryan Shappard, age 15,Henry Giello, age 13, Christian Oelschig, age 13, and James Dewberry, age 14 I took this fishing team for a fun day of bottom fishing at the artificial reef! Here’s what they kept, which consisted of black sea bass, white grunt, ocean perch, and porgy. What did they release? The Savannah,Georgia team released many under sized black sea bass, assorted sizes of genuine red snapper, king mackerel, cobia, and trigger fish. All in all it was a fish catching, keeping, releasing kind of a day for sure!
Offshore artificial reefs
Those located in 45 to 60 feet of water are holding Spanish/king mackerel, little tunny, barracuda, blue fish, and other biters! Best bait is going be 0 to 00 sizes Clark spoons pulled behind 1/2/3 ounce trolling sinkers or #1, #2, #3, planers. Yes the bite had been pretty solid. However, as you know when it comes to fishing some catching days are better than others!
Lane McCullough, age 13 Savannah Georgia is no stranger to fishing. He didn’t have any trouble hooking up, fighting, and landing this nice cobia! What did it eat? A small piece of squid wing! Was it released? Yes, Lane released the cobia and it swam away strong!

Savannah Snapper Banks
The bottom fishing is great. We are catching vermilion, white grunt, black sea bass, trigger fish, cobia, grouper, genuine red snapper, assortment of pogies, Mahi Mahi, king mackerel, and I could go on. The bottom line when it comes to fishing whether is on the bottom or on the troll you really never know what you might catch! Best baits when bottom fishing is cut squid and fish. When trolling I suggest ballyhoo rigged on assorted color Sea Witches. When drifting or on the slow troll I suggest assorted color dusters king rigs rigged with light wire and small hooks. As far as bait on light tackle rigs I suggest live/fresh dead cigar minnows or Spanish sardines.
