Fishing Tips

• Check the tide: Moving water can carry bait through channels and around marsh edges.

• Bring versatile bait: Shrimp is a practical starting option for several coastal species.

• Adjust for current: Choose tackle that suits the water flow.

• Stay clear of traffic: Never stop or park in a travel lane to reach the fishing access.

• Keep the area clean: Take used fishing line, hooks, and bait containers with you.

Fishing Access Etiquette

Give other anglers room to cast safely and keep hooks and tackle clear of walkways.

This catwalk is not confirmed as a boat tie-up dock. If you fish at a nearby shared dock where boats approach to tie off, respectfully reel in your line and move it out of the way so operators have room to maneuver and secure their vessels.

Fishing Licenses and Regulations

Check current Georgia fishing license requirements, applicable saltwater permit requirements, and species-specific size and creel limits before keeping fish. Follow posted restrictions and all applicable safety rules.
