Seasonal Activity Chart
Redfish
Jekyll Island offers exceptional redfish opportunities throughout the year, particularly in the maze of tidal creeks and flats surrounding the island. Focus your efforts on areas with readily available forage – think mullet, shrimp, and crabs. Spring and fall are prime, as redfish school up in larger numbers during their migrations. Summer can be productive as well, especially early mornings and late evenings when the water cools slightly. A key to success here is paying close attention to water clarity and tidal flow. On outgoing tides, concentrate on creek mouths and points where reds will ambush prey. For access, the causeway bridges offer several vantage points, or launch a kayak from Clam Creek Picnic Area for access to the north end flats. Remember, natural presentations are key – live shrimp under a popping cork or a well-placed crab imitation can be deadly. Adjust your depth according to water temperature; reds tend to hug the bottom in cooler months.
