Black Sea Bass

While Union Point is inland, reaching Black Sea Bass means heading to the Georgia coast and targeting offshore reefs and wrecks. These bottom-dwelling fish are most abundant in deeper waters. The cooler months, from fall through spring, often provide the best fishing, as they tend to move inshore slightly during this time. Bottom fishing with cut bait or jigs is the most common technique. Focus on areas with structure, as this provides habitat for the Black Sea Bass. A helpful local tip is to use a fish finder to locate promising structure before dropping your line. Public boat ramps along the coast provide access to the offshore fishing grounds. Black Sea Bass are known for their delicious flavor, making them a popular target for anglers. Be mindful of size and bag limits to ensure sustainable fishing.
