Saint Simons Island upcoming fun Events!

There are tons of things to do on St. Simons Island that don't have to do with the beach!  There are a few fun events going on around the island in November and I thought I might clue you in on a them.  These are events we locals know about and love but enjoy seeing new faces at too!
If you are going to be down this weekend the Brunswick Stewbilee is going on in Brunswick.  The Brunswick Rockin' Stewbilee is back for its 14th year and is better than ever! There will be music by the WharfRatz and Backbeat Boulevard, fun for all ages, and, of course, lots of the stew that made Brunswick, Georgia famous. There's a 5k run, a fun run for the kids, an antique and classic car show, a pooch parade, and the Brunswick stew cook-off. Bring the kids and let them have a blast at Junior Stewbilee Central. All proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Georgia.  Tickets are $9 for adults & $4 for children under 6 and are available at the gate on the day of the event.  Check it out www.stewbilee.com

The St. Simons Island Land Trust is having their annual Oyster Roast on Nov 23.   This is more than an oyster roast as most of the areas restaurants join in and have booths with food under the lights at Gascoigne Bluff Park.  Tickets are $75 each but that includes the oysters AND all the other restaurant fare - well worth it! http://www.sslt.org/
 
The McGladrey PGA Golf Tournament starts Nov 4 and runs through the 10th.  This year's winner receives an automatic invite to The Masters so we are expecting a big time down here on the island!  This year my Dad and I are volunteers for the event so should be a lot of fun.  Even if you're not into golf, which I'm not really, it's a great time and you have a chance to walk around the Lodge area and Sea Island's Seaside golf course.  http://www.mcgladreyclassic.com/
A great way to stay up to date on what's going on around the island is to subscribe to Elegant Island Living.  It's a beautiful magazine run by my friend David.  Subscribe and you'll get all the good stuff and that means you'll want to come down and visit more often! http://www.elegantislandliving.net/

On a personal note, I have just received a specialized real estate designation RSPS which stands for Resort & Second Home Markets specialist.  This course focuses on the knowledge and skill base that real estate professionals need to specialize in buying, selling, or managing second homes in a resort, recreational, and/or vacation destination and properties for investment, development, or retirement.
 
The best way to enjoy St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, Sea Island and all of the Golden Isles of Coastal Georgia is to live here whether part time or all the time!  Call me and I can help you with that!
Cheers!

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
