St. Simons Island Fishing Charters
Inshore, Nearshore & Fly Fishing with Southeastern Angling
Looking for the best St. Simons Island fishing charters on the Georgia coast? Southeastern Angling offers professional, year-round guided fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re interested in inshore light tackle fishing, nearshore action, shallow water sight fishing, or fly fishing the flats, our experienced guides put you on fish.
Located in the heart of Georgia’s Golden Isles, St. Simons Island offers some of the most productive estuaries and nearshore waters on the East Coast — creating exceptional fishing opportunities twelve months a year.
Why Fish St. Simons Island?
The waters surrounding St. Simons Island are fed by nutrient-rich tidal systems that support massive bait populations — and where there’s bait, there are gamefish.
Anglers can expect opportunities to target:
- Redfish (Red Drum) (year round)
- Speckled Sea Trout (year round)
- Flounder (seasonal)
- Tripletail (seasonal)
- Tarpon (summer months)
- Jack Crevalle (summer months)
- Sharks (summer months)
- Black Drum (year round)
- Cobia (seasonal nearshore)
From shallow grass flats to ocean structure just off the beach, every trip is customized to current conditions and your goals.
Inshore Fishing St. Simons Island
Inshore fishing is productive throughout the year. Winter months bring large schools of redfish to shallow flats where sight fishing opportunities can be incredible. Spring and fall bring aggressive feeding fish and ideal conditions for artificial lures and fly presentations.
During spring tides, redfish push into flooded grass creating exciting tailing opportunities — one of the most visual and technical forms of fishing found anywhere along the Southeast coast.
Nearshore Fishing St. Simons Island
Looking for bigger pulls and faster action? Our St. Simons Island nearshore fishing charters target reefs, live bottom, artificial structure, and bait pods just off the beach.
Nearshore trips typically range 3–10 miles offshore and offer exciting opportunities for:
- Sharks
- Jack Crevalle
- Tarpon
- Cobia
- Tripletail
- Spanish Mackerel
- King Mackerel
- Bull Redfish
- Black Sea Bass
- Red Snapper
- Sheepshead
Nearshore fishing is ideal for anglers wanting heavier tackle, occasional larger fish, and more aggressive action while still staying within sight of land. These trips are perfect for families, groups, or serious anglers looking for drag-screaming runs and big fights.
Spring and summer are peak months for cobia, mackerel, tarpon, and sharks along the Georgia coast.
Fly Fishing St. Simons Island
Fly anglers travel from across the country to fish the shallow waters of Coastal Georgia.
Seasonal highlights include:
- Flood tide redfish (Spring–Fall around new & full moons)
- Tarpon on fly (June–September)
- Tripletail sight fishing (Late March–June)
- Winter sight fishing for schooling redfish in clear water
Whether you’re an experienced fly caster or new to the sport, our guides provide instruction and technical insight to maximize your success.
