DANG !!!
Never been down to the Georgia coast. I’m almost exclusively a freshwater live bait fisherman. I’d like to take a trip down to somewhere between savannah and st simons for shark and tarpon. I’ve got a 19 foot bay boat with a spot lock trolling motor and access to all the gear to do this kind of fishing. Question is - can anyone detail out for me a series of steps one would take to try and be successful? What bait (my plan was to net menhaden) what areas do you start your bait search in and at what time, or is that even relavent? Once you have bait, what areas do you start your searches in and what time of day or does the bite relate more to the tide? Sound, pass, offshore? Do you look for certain things to tell you you should stop and try an area? Do you anchor and put out a spread, or drift? Any safety considerations that should be taken into account? Any specific rigs I should be preparing? I’ve seen folks fish live baits under big floats? I know that’s a lot of questions but I’m just trying to give an idea of the things I’m wrestling through in my head at the moment.
Last thing - please don’t post up the names of local fishing spots on this public forum as that is really not the intent of me getting on here and asking these questions.
