Seasonal Activity Chart
Redfish
St. Simons Island, Georgia, provides a classic Lowcountry backdrop for redfish angling. The maze of tidal creeks, spartina grass flats, and oyster reefs around the island creates a prime habitat for these bronze beauties. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the water temperatures are moderate and the redfish are actively feeding. Focus on fishing around the edges of the grass flats during low tide, or near oyster mounds during high tide. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a local favorite, but don't overlook the effectiveness of soft plastic lures mimicking small baitfish or crabs. A practical tip: access to many of the best fishing spots is limited to shallow-draft boats or kayaks, so plan accordingly. The redfish here can be surprisingly wary, so a stealthy approach is often rewarded.
