Whiting are now high in the spotlight and are being caught along the entire Georgia coastal region.
Also improving are catches of spotted sea trout, red drum and sheepshead. When seas have allowed, the offshore bottom fishing also has picked up, producing some excellent catches of large sheepshead and also large black sea bass. Across the Savannah River for the Port Royal Sound, Broad and Chechessee River areas, the action reportedly is a little slower than along the Georgia coast, but it's definitely showing signs of improvement as the water temperatures rise. Tide levels for the coming week should produce clear water over a wide area of the coast. The intensity of fishing activity continues to be stronger from the Doboy Sound southward where the water temperatures are a few degrees higher than in the more northern sector of the coast.
