Fun Day EASY SURF FISHING Catching Fish On Tybee Island Georgia

[@jamesbrown7991]

Thanks for the vid....large tide changes there

[@fishincontrol]

Thank you for watching. Yes, the tides here make some pretty big swings.

[@mikenorton1621]

Hah. I love catching those rays just as much as you hate catching them.

[@fishincontrol]

Heck, they put up a good fight, so they are fun to catch. Just wish they were a target species.

[@michaelcryder6105]

I'll see you there

[@JacobBrow-n9w]

Hey, I see you fish allot down Tybee island I’m heading down their tommorow and was wondering if drone fishing was legal on the island

[@fishincontrol]

I do not believe drone fishing is legal, but I cannot confirm. There are definitely regulations around the lighthouse, so check those out before you fly. Good luck out there

[@tecca1982]

If you ever need some company, I live in Richmond Hill. Moved down here in July and am getting into saltwater fishing.

[@stevegunn9971]

I just started researching places to live around Savannah (currently in TX). How do you like living in the Richmond Hill area?

[@tecca1982]

@@stevegunn9971 I love the area. Plenty of grocery stores and restaraunts. Good mix of people. Lots of places to fish and close to Savannah/Hilton Head. Traffic sucks in the entire area though.

[@stevegunn9971]

@@tecca1982 , Sounds good, except for the traffic. Luckily, I don't have to commute to work. Thanks very much!

[@erichayman6191]

What kind of reel are you using with the daiwa rod?

[@fishincontrol]

All my surf reels are penn pursuit or fierce. I recommend the best one of those you can afford in the 5000 or 6000 size. Those tend to be robust enough to handle what we catch off the beach around here for the most part while being light enough to cast and retrieve a hundred times a day. Also, I tend to get a bit more casting distance out of a slightly smaller reel.

Hey how are you doing brother. I’m heading down in 2 weeks. I’m bringing my son (11 y/o) and 2 buddies. One has never fished salt water. Trying to do some salt water fishing. I only been to tybee pier and frank downing pier. Can you suggest any other good spots. No boat so all off the bank. Thanks for your reply

[@fishincontrol]

I mostly fish off the beach. The inshore bank spots are few and heavily fished from what I've experienced. There are a few bridges around that have fishing access if you go towards Savannah. But I have the best luck on Tybee beach though, with fresh shrimp.

[@Gun_powder_therapy]

Ok thank you

[@thomashardin5201]

Do you ever catch anything at the mouth of the Savanah River and the Atlantic?

[@fishincontrol]

When I fish off the north end of Tybee, that's essentially where I'm fishing. And during the warmer months, that's a hot spot.

[@thomashardin5201]

@fishincontrol thank you. Tried it once will come back down someday this summer.

[@Nightwatch-logs-agent-1]

Sorry about being a year late, but in terms of fish, what species do they have?

[@fishincontrol]

Whiting, Redfish, black drum, bluefish, flounder... The list is long

[@alexk10]

Looks pretty empty out there, is it safe to say tourist season is over? Also is there any Spanish mackeral out there?

[@fishincontrol]

It's definitely thinning out. There are always some folks through the holidays, then completely dead in Jan/Feb. I have not caught any Spanish, but I don't really target them because they aren't as frequent along our beaches. But I know folks have caught them, so I'm sure if you put the time in that it would eventually pay off

[@toddsutton9807]

You doing thsSait Simmons tournament?

[@fishincontrol]

I did that one last year. Gonna try the Tybee one this year. My PB red was on Tybee, so maybe I'll have the luck I need over there.

[@toddsutton9807]

@@fishincontrol didn’t know Tybee had one, where can I find info on it?

[@toddsutton9807]

Never mind, I found it, it’s the same day as Saint Simmons

[@fishincontrol]

Yeah, they had that same problem last year. I was hoping they would split them up so we would have the opportunity to fish both tournaments.

[@toddsutton9807]

@@fishincontrol that would make more sense.

[@bennyfishall2026]

Mid beach???

[@fishincontrol]

Just north of pier

[@BobbyC62]

the only thing worse then catching a ray is catching a toadfish.

[@fishincontrol]

They are pretty useless from what I can tell
