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!

Jekyll Island Horseback Riding

The girls and I had the boat out on Saturday.  We anchored just off of Jekyll Island on the St. Simons Sound side.  The girls went swimming and walking along the beach.  Before too long, a group riding horses on the beach came strolling by.  I really love horses and have been riding them myself for many years - whenever possible.  I do a lot of fishing down around Cumberland Island which is well known as a Georgia island that still has a population of wild horses.  There are positive and negatives to this population of horses.  While they are protected from people, they are not allowed to be cared for at all whether it is food or vet needs.  I see lots of horses and new foals in the marshes munching on seagrass and walking along the beach.  It is always a real treat to see one of Cumberland Island's wild horses! Just another great part about living along Georgia's Coast. The next time you are visiting Jekyll Island, a great idea would be to do a trail ride along the beach.
