The Redbone was in St. Simons last weekend and William Collier showed his stuff winning the fly fishing division with yours truly and help from his dad. Day one had us with plenty of fish tailing in the grass, but as you may know tailerrs aren’t the easiest critters to fool. All their attention is down, looking for crabs and putting a fly there can sometimes be a hassle. William ended up fooling only one on day one, so we had our backs against the wall day two. Day two ended up with not enough water in the grass for tailers due to a hard west wind, major bummer. We put all our eggs in one basket and waited for the outgoing tide at a certain spot. We could only fish till 3p and the tide didn’t get right for the reds until about 2p. From 2p to 3p William showed what he was made of by nailing 10 reds on the fly in a hour !!!!! Holy $%#*. Here is a little video of William hitting some Jacks that were going nutz on the beach front. We played with these guys till the tide was right for chasing reds on the low water. What fun fishing !!

Fly Fishing Hilton Head, Beaufort , Savannah and the whole coast of Georgia
Fly fishing Hilton Head area this time of year can be soooo much fun !! The seasons are changing a little faster than I would like to see. Some chilly nights and cooler days have put the reds in full eat mode. Ya gotta love fall !!
