St. Simons Island, Georgia – Tarpon & Redfish Day Trips

A Coastal Georgia Secret Worth Discovering

Quietly and without much fanfare, coastal Georgia has earned a reputation as a sleeper destination for giant tarpon in late summer and bull redfish in the fall. While many anglers overlook this region, those in the know understand just how special it can be. For that reason, we’ve partnered with the top tarpon guide in the area to create a true Shoshone Exclusive fishing experience.

Giant Tarpon Action Along the Beaches

This is not light-tackle tarpon fishing for juveniles. Instead, late summer brings massive migratory tarpon cruising just off Georgia’s beaches. As a result, anglers have the opportunity to cast directly to rolling pods of fish in open water. Multiple hook-ups per day are common, with average tarpon weighing 60 pounds or more. Moreover, it’s not unusual for fish to push well past the 100-pound mark. If you’ve never come tight on a true giant tarpon, be prepared—because the fight is nothing short of unforgettable.

Bull Redfish Opportunities in the Fall

As the seasons shift, this same fishery transforms into a premier bull redfish destination. Consequently, anglers visiting in the fall can expect powerful schools of oversized redfish that deliver hard strikes and drag-screaming runs. This seasonal variety makes the area an outstanding choice for repeat trips.

Pair Fishing with World-Class Golf

In addition to phenomenal fishing, this adventure pairs perfectly with golf. For example, anglers who also enjoy the links can add a round at the legendary Sea Island Club—widely regarded as one of the finest private golf clubs in the country. Therefore, this trip easily blends outdoor adventure with luxury leisure.
