Looking forward to spending some time on the water over the next week. I've got a sea hunt 22 bxbr bay boat. I've boated the intercostal from st Simmons to fernadina I'm interested in going north to doughboy/ altamahala sound area. Are there any areas to avoid, shallow water, jetties, etc. Approximately how long of boat ride would this be?

Do any of you guys fish the near shore reefs from a boat similar to mine? The weather looks to be good Saturday and Sunday.

I have fished the nearshore reefs off St. Simon and Jekyll out of a 23' Sea Pro several times without any issues. Just need to make sure you keep a check on seas and weather forecast.

We explored the icw yesterday from st Simmons to doughboy. Caught a few small trout on doa shrimp. Trying to do a shark trip this afternoon if the weather holds up.
