Live bait in Brunswick?

[King.Of.Anglers.Jeremiah]

Anybody know where to go for live bait in the area? I prefer 100% artificial most times but it's hard to beat a live shrimp or mud minnows some days and the jekyll fishing center doesn't have any.

There’s an old house off the North side of the St. Simons Causeway, that sells it if they’re still open.

The Marina on the South side of the St. Simons causeway sells it.

Only one I know of is at the pier on south end of St. Simons (if still there, been years.. surprised number still in my phone), St. Simons Bait & Tackle (912-634-1888). Good Luck!

Edit: Just looked on line and they're still there plus found another one that might be closer..J&P Bait and Tackle (912-282-9705).

Got one. Would I be better off trying to get shrimp from the beach or creeks?

Sorry for delays.

To me, creeks at end of falling tide.

We were in lower SC this week and it took us about 20-30 mins each day to get 15 dozen shrimp and about a dozen finger mullets.

Just find a little drainage coming out of the marsh and throw the net there. I use a cheap net for this so the oysters don’t tear up a good net.

Try a few of these drainages and you should have bait for days, sir.

Ummmhhhh

Tougher.

Maybe try a small bridge at lower tide.

Or maybe buy bait?

Blythe Island State Park sold live shrimp at one time. Go to the boat ramp...that's where the live shrimp are kept. You can probably call the park before you go. If you have a cast net, there were always mud minnows to be had there as well.

Edwards Bait shop on Hwy 303 between Brunswick and Blythe island usually has live shrimp. You can call them at 912-230-9970.

Caught fish yes. Wasn't a lot of people successful out there but I found the trout. Only other keeper fish anybody caught was sheepshead
