Artificial Reefs are Hot on Georgia Coast

Matt Frymire, Colt Leonard and Drew Weatherford, all of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Capt. Kathy Brown are all sporting grand fishing-catching smiles.

Miss Judy Charters is wearing them out on coastal Georgia’s artificial reefs in less than 50 feet of water.

On recent trips out of Savannah, Capt. Judy Helmey and Capt. Kathy Brown hosted a group all the way from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and as Capt. Judy put it they “went a’catching big time!”

Capt. Judy reports: “We caught juvenile and keeper black sea bass, pig fish, ruby red lips, sand perch, and reef runners!” The customers kept 10 nice-sized black sea bass and released the rest. They took their 20 fillets over to the Flying Fish restaurant (www.flyingfishsavannah.com/) had some fried and some blackened. According to this food eating report, they had a blast and the “eating” made their fishing day a complete success!

“The team, after catching just enough fish for their supper, just wanted to play the catch-and-release game. We spent the rest of the fishing day catching and releasing trophy redfish. Believe me, when I say, we did not have the time nor did we take the time to take pictures of all of the reds the team released!”
