Yeah, I know but I do want to take advantage of being down there. Maybe just learn about the area for future reference at least.Fishing will be pretty slow (and chilly) by December...
was mainly interested in salt, but tell me about the freshwater fishing please!You want salt or fresh water?
Thank you! can anyone talk about safety concerning tides, boat traffic, etc since I will be alone?Andrew...If you put in at Shellman's Bluff...you can cruise down Blackbeard's Creek...and zip across Sapelo Sound over to Blackbeard's Island...It is real pretty there...lots of wildlife to see...I am not a Kayaker, but the crossing across the Sound takes you across the inner coastal, and there might be a lot of larger boats migrating south...but once on the north side of Blackbeard's Island you can take Blackbeard's Creek into the interior of the island and there is a nature center there...Like others have said...In DEC, fishing will likely be slow...but the views are spectacular.
Andrew, Forget about the Blackbeard Creek trip unless you are with a group and have lots of time and back up support. Just saying.

I was thinking the same thing...The first couple miles down out of Shellman's Bluff would be fine...but crossing the sound to get to Blackbeard's Island would be challenging I would think by yourself...mostly because you are crossing the inner coastal and this time of year there is a lot of big boat traffic of people of the north trying to get out of the **** cold and get to FLA for the winter...with that said...if you look on google earth, the area around Shellman's Bluff offers lots of cool rivers and such to poke around at...If you feel safe...Blackbeard's Island is worth the trip...see the attached drone video.
I think I like the idea
