Georgia Shark Fishing

[emanuel]

This needs to be put in a Georgia board, but since we don't have one yet, I'll put here. I went down to St. Simon's island this afternnon on a scouting trip and found a little tackle shop with pictures from the nearby pier of sharks they catch of it. Unlike other places up and down the coast, they actually have shark fishing that is somewhat encouraged and completely legal. One picture was of a 12' lemon shark someone had caught last summer. Also a great spot for trout, reds, and tarpon too.

I'll post some info on the spot when I get the chance, but it's something you folks might want to look into. Good people at the tackle shop and they want me to put their website on the board as soon as they get it up and running.

Can't wait until spring... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info emanuel! Been looking for a good place to go shark fishing :) About how far of a drive is it from Myrtle Beach?

I'd say it's a good 5 hours down the coast from Myrtle Beach, and about a little more than an hour from Savannah where I am now. It's really cool down there, and the shark pictures were incredible. Bull, lemon, dusky, sand, sharpnose, blacktip, bonnetheads, hammerheads, and some big stingrays also. There are also some huge black drum caught there in the spring.
