Georgia Coastal Fishing Charts

mapsThis series of five fishing charts is designed to provide a concise guide to recreational saltwater fishing along the coast of Georgia. It is difficult for the occasional visitor to Georgia's estuarine and inland waterways to know where to fish. These coastal guides are intended to provide the best information available on when, where, and how to catch fish. They also incorporate information on fishing sites, camps, and marinas. The five charts were developed by counties: Chatham, Bryan/Liberty, McIntosh, Glynn, and Camden. Each chart is $2 and postage up to five charts is $3.50.(example: 5 charts + postage & tax = $14.10)
