Redfish
The waters surrounding St. Marys, Georgia, offer fantastic Redfish angling in a variety of habitats. From the saltwater marshes to the brackish creeks and rivers, there are opportunities for both fly and conventional tackle anglers. Spring and fall are particularly productive, as Redfish school up in larger numbers during their migrations. Focus on oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths during these times. A popular tactic is sight fishing with soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork. For boat access, the Crooked River State Park provides a convenient ramp. Be mindful of the tides, as Redfish activity often increases during moving water. The Redfish population here is healthy, with good numbers of slot-sized fish (typically 18-27 inches), making it an ideal location for both novice and experienced anglers.
