Gentlemen,
I'm planning on getting over to the coast at least a few times this summer/fall and doing some beach fishing. I was primarily thinking the SSI/JI area. I have been to these areas a few times in the past and had done some light pier fishing at both locations but haven't scratched too many fish.
I have done some surf fishing in NC so I'm not completely ignorant to tides and troughs between the breakers. What does make me wonder is 1)water color along the GA coast and 2)the height of the tides.
I would like to target reds mostly because I hadn't caught one before. I'd be completely content to land a 14 incher just to say that I caught one. I also like to throw Gotchas and Hopkins spoons. These were very productive in the clearer beaches up north. Will they still produce in the muddier water? I greatly appreciate any help anyone is willing to offer.
