Redfish
The waters around Kings Bay, Georgia, are a redfish paradise, offering diverse habitats from tidal creeks to open flats. The fall months, especially October and November, are renowned for the bull redfish run as they gather to spawn. Focus on the edges of oyster beds, spartina grass lines, and creek mouths during both high and low tides. Live or cut mullet is a go-to bait, but artificial lures like gold spoons and soft plastics mimicking shrimp can also be highly effective. A practical tip is to scout the area at low tide to identify productive structure and channels. Access to these fishing grounds is readily available from multiple boat ramps around Kings Bay. Remember to pay attention to the tides, as redfish actively feed during moving water. The redfish population here is healthy, with opportunities to catch both smaller slot-size fish and larger trophy-sized bulls.
