Redfish
Saint Simons Island offers a fantastic inshore fishery for redfish, with opportunities to target them in the maze of tidal creeks and expansive salt marshes. Spring and fall provide the most consistent action. Look for redfish tailing in the shallow flats during low tide, or ambush them near oyster beds and grass lines as the tide rises. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but artificial lures like soft plastics and spoons can also be productive. A key tip is to use a push pole or trolling motor to quietly navigate the shallow waters and avoid spooking the fish. Public boat ramps on the island provide easy access to the fishery. The redfish population around Saint Simons Island is thriving, offering anglers the chance to catch both slot-size fish and larger breeders. Don't forget your polarized sunglasses to spot fish in the clear, shallow water!
