Ready to wet a line in some of Georgia's most productive waters? Our 5-hour private charter puts you right in the thick of Brunswick's legendary fishing grounds. We're talking about the kind of trip where you might be hauling in a trophy redfish one minute and battling a blacktip shark the next. Our seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in for a day of non-stop action and big catches. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we've got you covered with top-notch gear and all the local know-how you need to land the big one.
Step aboard our fully-equipped charter boat and get ready for a Brunswick fishing experience like no other. We'll cruise out to the hottest spots where the fish are practically jumping into the boat. One minute you might be casting for speckled trout in the grass flats, the next we could be chasing schools of Spanish mackerel as they tear through bait balls. Our captain's got the inside scoop on where the fish are biting, and we're not afraid to switch it up if one spot goes cold. You'll get to try different techniques, from light tackle finesse fishing for redfish to the heart-pounding thrill of hooking into a toothy shark. And the best part? Everything's included – rods, reels, bait, license – so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a lucky hat.
We don't mess around when it comes to gear. You'll be fishing with top-of-the-line rods and reels that are perfectly matched to the species we're after. For trout and reds, we'll set you up with light tackle that lets you feel every nibble and head shake. When we're going after the big boys like king mackerel or sharks, we'll break out the heavy artillery – stout rods and reels spooled with braided line that can handle the strongest runs. Live bait is the name of the game here, and we always bring a livewell full of frisky mullet, shrimp, or whatever's working best that day. Our crew will show you the ropes on everything from how to properly cast to setting the hook when a fish strikes. By the end of the day, you'll be working those lures like a pro.
Look, we could talk all day about how great the fishing is, but don't just take our word for it. Our regulars keep coming back for a reason. Like Jim from Atlanta who landed his personal best 40-inch redfish last month, or Sarah who brought her kids out and watched them light up as they reeled in Spanish mackerel after Spanish mackerel. Then there's old Bill who swears he'll never forget the day he hooked into a 6-foot blacktip that had him sweating bullets for a good 20 minutes before we got it to the boat. These are the kind of memories that keep folks coming back year after year.
Spanish Mackerel: These speed demons of the sea are a blast to catch. They school up in big numbers from spring through fall, and when they're running, it's non-stop action. We'll troll or cast spoons and jigs, and when you hook one, hang on tight – they'll make your reel sing! Expect fish in the 2-4 pound range, but don't be surprised if a bigger one crashes the party.
King Mackerel: The big cousin of the Spanish, king mackerel are the prize many anglers are after. These smokers can top 50 pounds and will test your drag and your biceps. We typically target them by slow-trolling live bait, and when one hits, it's like hooking a freight train. The spring and fall runs are prime time for kings.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these spotted beauties are a staple of inshore fishing. We'll work the grass flats and creek mouths with live shrimp or artificial lures. Trout fishing is great year-round, but the fall months when they're fattening up can be especially productive. A 5-pounder is a real trophy, and they're excellent on the dinner table.
Redfish: Brunswick's waters are home to some monster reds. These copper-colored brutes can push 50 inches and put up a fight that'll leave your arms aching. We'll sight-fish for them in the shallows or work deeper holes with cut bait. The bull reds show up in force during the fall, but you can catch them year-round.
Blacktip Shark: For pure adrenaline, it's hard to beat hooking into a blacktip. These acrobatic predators will test your stamina with blistering runs and spectacular leaps. We'll chum them up and use heavy tackle to battle these toothy critters. Sharks in the 4-6 foot range are common, and the action heats up in the warmer months.

Blacktip Sharks give you a taste of big game fishing without going far offshore. Most run 4-5 feet long and 50-100 pounds. We find them in coastal waters year-round, but summer is prime time. They hunt in water as shallow as 5 feet around sandbars and river mouths. Fresh cut bait like mullet or bluefish works best. When hooked, blacktips make blistering runs and often jump clear out of the water. Heavy tackle is a must - 50 pound braid and wire leaders. These sleek predators will push your gear to the limit. Not the best eating, but catch-and-release provides an incredible fight. Local secret: Chum the water with fish oils to bring them in close.
King Mackerel are the heavyweight cousins of Spanish macks. We typically see them in the 10-30 pound range, but 50+ pounders aren't uncommon. Kings show up in our waters from late spring through fall, usually in 30-100 feet of water around reefs, wrecks, and offshore ledges. They're aggressive predators that will smoke a reel when hooked. Live bait like blue runners or menhaden is tough to beat, but slow-trolling with ribbonfish or big spoons works too. Kings put up a blistering fight and aerial acrobatics that'll get your heart racing. Their meat is rich and oily - great for smoking. One local trick: Use a stinger rig with two treble hooks to improve your hookup ratio on short strikes.
Redfish, or red drum, are hard-fighting brutes that'll test your drag. Most inshore reds run 3-10 pounds, but bull reds over 30 pounds cruise the beaches. Look for them tailing on shallow flats or hanging around docks and oyster bars. They'll eat just about anything - live bait, cut bait, or artificials all work well. Sight-fishing for tailing reds in gin-clear water is a rush. These copper-colored bruisers pull like a freight train and don't give up easily. Their meat is mild and flaky, excellent on the grill. Pro tip: When you see a school of reds, cast beyond them and drag your bait into the school to avoid spooking them.
Sea Trout, also called speckled trout, are a favorite inshore target year-round. Most run 1-3 pounds, but gator trout over 5 pounds aren't rare. Look for them around oyster bars, grass flats, and creek mouths in 2-6 feet of water. They love to ambush prey, so casting soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork is deadly. Sea trout fishing heats up in fall when they school up to spawn. These fish have soft mouths, so a light touch on the hookset is key. They're not huge fighters, but their aggressive strikes and delicate white meat make them popular. Local tip: Fish the tide changes for best results, especially the last of the falling tide.
Spanish Mackerel are lightning-fast swimmers that put up an exciting fight. Usually 1-2 feet long and weighing 2-4 pounds, these sleek fish are found in coastal waters from spring through fall. Look for them around bait schools in 20-40 feet of water near inlets, jetties, and artificial reefs. They're voracious predators, chasing small baitfish near the surface. Trolling with small spoons or jigs works well, but nothing beats sight-casting to a feeding frenzy. Spanish macks are excellent table fare too - firm, white meat that's great grilled or fried. Pro tip: Use a long shank hook or wire leader to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth. These fish will test your skills and provide non-stop action when you find a school.
