Fishing in Brunswick, GA

Brunswick anchors the middle of Georgia's Golden Isles coast, and the surrounding marshes, sounds, and tidal rivers make it one of the East Coast's best inshore fisheries. The Brunswick River, Little Satilla River, and the enormous expanse of Altamaha Sound hold redfish, flounder, and spotted seatrout. The Georgia marsh system creates conditions that concentrate fish in ways the Gulf Coast can't replicate.

Planning Your Trip

Redfish are the main event. The oyster bars and marsh edges light up on the falling tide, and Georgia-sized reds — fish in the 27- to 30-inch class — are common. Fall is the strongest season when water cools and fish become aggressive. Flounder are exceptional in the deep cuts and channel edges during the October and November migration.

The Jekyll Creek and St. Simons Sound area just south of Brunswick produces sheepshead around the dock pilings and riprap year-round. Winter sheepshead fishing is a Brunswick tradition — fiddler crabs on a jighead are the standard approach. Tarpon push through the sounds in Summer and are caught near the jetties with some regularity.

Georgia tides move a lot of water and they move it fast. The current in the main sounds can run 3 to 4 knots at peak. Plan your positioning with the current in mind, and use the tide chart above to anticipate when the best water movement will push bait past your spot.
