Golden Isles Assoc. of Realtors Luau

Last night the local realtor association, Golden Isles Association of Realtors, hosted the annual Realtor Day dinner at the Brunswick Golf & Country Club. The theme was a Luau. I along with my Broker, Linda Runyan, my Dad and my beautiful girlfriend Mindy, enjoyed a fantastic evening of fun with my fellow Realtors. Dinner consisted of Salmon with a chutney sauce, Mahi Mahi, BBQ, Spicy chicken, coconut shrimp, steak kabobs accompanied by wine and beer. There was a terrific live band and plenty of people enjoying themselves.

I didn't think the event would necessarily be a networking event but I did run into a real estate closing attorney who I plan on using and also saw one of the mortgage bankers from Ameris Bank who I sent two prospective clients to for prequalifying last week. I was glad to see her and had a chance to talk about the two prospective clients.

I have attended several events at the Brunswick Country Club and am always happy with the staff, location and the food & drink. We're lucky to have a great location to hold these types of events. I've met some of the nicest people while getting involved in Real Estate. These folks are now my collegues and neighbors and many are our community business leaders - another great thing about living on the Coast of Georgia!

Christmas Creek Entrance

UPDATE: 10-25-13 The Christmas Creek entrance this year is to the North of the creek mouth. As you go South along Cumberland Beach you'll see the shoaling a few hundred yards East of the mouth of the creek. Enter Christmas Creek between the shoaling and the beach as you go South. As you enter the entrance between the shoals and the beach, look for your hard right turn to go directly into the creek mouth. Best to try at least an hour after low tide for that area. If you plan on coming out after high tide, best to be at the mouth no later than 4 1/2 hours after high tide unless your boat draws less than a foot like flats boats and Carolina Skifs. I like to go in about an hour after low tide and fish through the rising tide and then make my way out. I made this update because this Blog post is one of my top posts which I wouldn't have know when I originally wrote it. Christmas Creek has some of the best fishing around and if you are new to it or would like to try

How to catch Blue Crabs on St. Simons Island

I know I love to eat our local blue crabs and if you do too, then here is an excellent video from Capt. Mark Noble. Mark has been a long time friend of mine and he grew up on St. Simons Island. There are many ways to catch blue crabs and in this video Mark can show you how he does it. You don't need a boat either - I've caught some beautiful stone crabs with a crab net right off one of the many docks that surround the area. Many times, I'll hang a crab net off the back of my boat while I'm fishing and catch plenty. So a crab net off the St. Simons Pier or one or two of the crab baskets in this video and you can have yourself a big time. Here's Mark's website - he is one of the top charter captains around so check him out if you'd like to take a Golden Isles fishing charter. http://www.georgiafishing.net I shot the video and edited this for Mark and as my reward, he let me take the crabs home for a terrific family crab boil!

4th of July on St. Simons Island Georgia

It really has been a super busy July 4th week! Of course there were fireworks on the 4th and we watched them from East Beach on St. Simons Island. From our vantage point, you could see the fireworks on Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island AND Sea Island. Three for the price of one! The weather was perfect albeit a bit warm but sitting on the beach at night with fireworks going off was just a fun time. St. Simons Island is always busy around the 4th of July and this year was no exception. Visitors flocked to our island and hotels, condos and rental homes all seemed to be maxed out. The weekend after the 4th was just as busy with the big event being the St. Simons Island Kids Fishing Rodeo. This is an annual event hosted by Captain Billy Bice. It is a very easy going children's fishing tournament where you catch a Redfish - Whiting - Bluefish (Red White and Blue). Every child wins a prize and kids who catch all three of the fish listed win a rod and reel combo worth a
