Wife and I went to Jekyll Island today to check out the North beach and St. Andrews beach at low tide.
St. Andrews appears to have lost 12" to 18" of sand over the entire beach area. There is no large debris on the beach and it looks to be seine-able; however, you will have to go much farther from shore now and wait longer after high tide to begin as the sand from the beach made the beach shallower farther from the shore.
The North beach, by the pier, appears to be in good shape also with a great deal of marsh grass from the high tide line inland. The beach should be seine-able; there does not appear to be any obstacles there either; and it does not appear to have lost as much sand.
The coast still appears to be getting some storm surge, as the tides are still much higher than normal and you should plan accordingly.
We may give it a try sometime this week to find out how it affected the shrimp.
