September through November with somewhere in-between being the best .
i saw the cargo ship cutting was supposed to start October 1st. Boat traffic will probably be a mess. I'd be more concerned with getting in the way of all the workers than the noise. I don't think the big reds care much about anything but eating

I skipped about 10 deer season opening months to catch them big reds on the Beaches and Piers...
One opening weekend of deer season, me and my crew caught 60 Bulls in about 12 hours at the Tybee Pier...Northeaster blowing steady 25, waves spraying the rail, and sideways rain squalls.
Fishing fun at it's finest.
Had to go diggin', but it was like this..

My favorite bait is a whiting head with the mouth still moving...

I've heard the "crab for bull reds" idea forever, but I have never actually seen one caught that way...You put half a crab out off the beach or pier in my neck of the woods, and it'll be gone almost instantly, eaten by crabs and little fishies.
Fish heads still trying to breathe are the Money Bait on my coast...
Having said that, they'll eat anything when they are hot and heavy...Saw one caught on a piece of Waffle House country fried steak at the Jax Beach Pier once.
True fact...

Folks in south LA swear by "cracked crabs" for redfish bait.
I have caught bulls on crab, live shrimp, dead shrimp, poagies and croakers.

Gone but not forgotten
I was there last october. They were dumping chunk rock all around the ship to stabilize it.
While we didnt slay them we caught quite a few within site of the ship. We used fresh mullet.

Once the Gulf Fritillary butterflies start showing up is when the big reds are on the bars off the northern coast of Ga. From mid-August on....

Yep, when the Big Redfish are around, the Blues will be also. Pretty easy to catch on shrimp bites, or a gotcha plug if the water is reasonably clear...

Yes, there will be Blues in the surf at Jekyll...Catch them along with the Whiting, Croakers, and other panfish on a bait rod.

Agree with Railroader. Always bring a smaller rod when fishing for bull reds and use either shrimp or mud minnow on a 1/0 or 2/0 hook for blues. If you are using chunk bait and feel this nibble nibble nibble with no hookups, and then reel in your bait to find it chewed up, you’re into blues.
