Artificial reefs are still holding top water fish from Spanish to king mackerel and barracuda! I am still reporting that the bottom bite in these areas is still on the slow side, but if you move and check enough spots, you just might catch a mess of black sea bass. To catch bottom fish such as black sea bass, white grunt, flounder, and etc on the artificial reefs you need to think outside of the box. Don’t fish the biggest spots on the reef! Go to the most isolated spots! Now I fish them all, but I know that if there is a large concentration of fish anywhere in these areas, it is going to be found while fishing an isolated area. I sometimes refer to these areas as my desperation spots! Why do I call these spot this? Well, you can catch fish there, but the bite won’t last long. So if you fish isolated areas early and then maybe visit again on the way home before finishing your day, it will most likely make your day. (And sometimes not, but well worth the catching chance! And when are desperate, it is a good plan to have)

Phil Shirley aka “Yahoo Wahoo Catcher” Atlanta, Georgia is holding up a nice pair of gray trigger fish and Captain Kathy is giving a big thumbs up!



Health Watson, Jasper, Georgia is holding a silver snapper also known as a red porgy or a Charleston snapper and a gray trigger fish Captain Kathy Brown is holding a nice vermilion snapper also known as a b-liner and a gray trigger fish! What did all these fish have in common? They were very hungry and loved the taste of cut squid!




Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters is holding a Mutton snapper. (Not to be confused with the lane snapper) We do not catch a lot of mutton snapper in our waters off coast of Georgia, but if you do to keep they must be 16 inch tail length and fall under aggregate bag limit.
