Testimonials...

Didn't like what I was seeing by just "Googling" for local guides. That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Found this site and had a response within a matter of hours. Booked a fun trip for a great price. Definitely a "recommend" for others!

Types of Georgia Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

Georgia off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips up and down the Atlantic coast.  Georgia off-shore fishing charters take 1-6 people or more out to troll, jig, drift fish, fish shipwrecks, and much more.  Many Georgia deep sea fishing charter boats operate out of Savannah, Richmond Hill, Brunswick, and throughout the Georgian Atlantic coast.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Georgia in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-4 anglers. These Georgia fishing charters fish closer to the mainland in the protected water near the many islands, inlets, bays, and tidal waters.  The in-shore waters are popular redfish, tarpon, and multi-species hot spots depending on the season.  Georgia in-shore fishing charters operate out of most of the communities along the Atlantic coastline.

General Inland

Georgia freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing Georgia’s fresh water lakes and rivers.  Georgia is home to the world record largemouth bass.  Georgia fishing guides often target, largemouth bass and giant crappies although Lake Lanier is famed for its striped bass.  Popular hot spots include Clark’s Hill Lake, Lake Hartwell, and Lake Oconee, among many others.

Fly Fishing

Georgian fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience on beautiful streams and rivers casting to wild and stocked rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout.  The Chattooga River, Chattahoochee River, and Lake Burton are popular trout waters.  Unique fly fishing opportunities are offered throughout the state for many different species.  Our Georgia fly fishing guides fish on most public lakes, rivers, and salt water coastal hot spots.  Georgian fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.
