St. Simons Island, Georgia - Saltwater Fishing Report
St. Simons Sound
4/21/08
We started the morning out with a high incoming tide.With the full moon on 4/20/08,the water was running swift and muddy in areas.We elected to fish shelves and pockets out of the main river channels.This gave us much better water clarity and slower water movement.The fish continue to bite artificials well, producing several fish close to 20 inches.These are good spawning fish so we released them.
