Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

Turning to Spring in Coastal Georgia
Well, it looks as if the turn of the season is finally in sight. This winter was a REAL winter to the fishermen here on the Georgia Coast and to the lay person alike.. When it’s cold, Its cold no matter who you are.
We have had frequent night time temperatures in the 30’s and many below freezing over the past 3 months. I can’t actually remember a season this cold since I was a child.
The Impact on the fishing has been dog-gone tough on the inshore fish. The Trout and Redfish in the rivers and backwater areas have nearly come to a halt on their feed aside of the Reds which roam the mud flats on sunny days.
Few anglers can get the Reds on the flats to bite, but there are a few successful anglers that have done really well, but you must know where the fish are. Without local knowledge, finding these flats fish is near impossible.
A few trout are being pulled boatside now and then, but it’s just not super productive due to the water temperature in the high 40’s. I wouldn’t want to eat either!
There are some whiting finally being caught off the beachside troughs and sloughs along the Georgia Coast. Whiting aren’t the most exciting fish to catch, but they make a good meal, but best of all it beats sitting at the house all weekend or at the office all day…. Of course, no offense to those who can’t get out of the office!
So, the prescription to fix this is simply warm weather…… It’s literally right around the corner for all of us here in the southern states. With the turn of that warmer weather will come a variety of game fish very near our beaches. Triple Tail, Blue Fish, Sharks, Jacks, Spanish Mackerel and a few others will soon be moving in for the spring season and which ever day that might be, will not be a day too soon. We’re ready and waiting.
The cold has not affected the offshore bottom fishing like it has the inshore fishing. Our Red Snapper bite continues like it has been for nearly 5 months. It’s one to be proud of and we most certainly are… The comeback has been one like most of us have never witnessed and we only hope it will continue.
As cold as it is, I am going fishing. Two days in the house and I can’t take it… Good Fishing to all of you!
