Expert-Guided BackCountry Fishing in Midway, GA

Reel in the Action: Midway's Inshore Fishing Gem

Get ready to wet a line in some of Georgia's most productive inshore waters. This 4-hour private trip with Flat Out Guide Service puts you right in the thick of Coastal Georgia's fishing hotspots. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, Captain Tony knows how to put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. From the winding creeks of the Intercoastal Waterway to the open expanse of St. Catherine's Sound, you're in for a day of rod-bending action and coastal scenery that'll have you hooked.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you step aboard, you'll feel the excitement building. Captain Tony's got the boat rigged and ready, with all the gear you need to target inshore favorites like redfish, trout, and flounder. No need to lug tackle boxes or worry about licenses - it's all taken care of. The cooler's iced down, so just bring along your favorite drinks and snacks to keep you fueled up for the fight. Don't forget the sunscreen and a hat, though. The Georgia sun can be fierce out on the water, and you'll want to stay comfortable as you work the flats and structure for your next big catch.

Tactics for Inshore Success

Fishing these waters is all about reading the tides and knowing where the fish are holding. You might start off sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows, watching that bronze flash as they pounce on your bait. When the tide's right, we'll drift live shrimp along oyster beds for some killer trout action. And if the flounder are in, get ready for some precision casting along drop-offs where these tasty flatfish love to ambush their prey. Captain Tony's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, whether it's working a popping cork for aggressive strikes or finessing soft plastics through the grass for those more finicky fish. It's hands-on fishing at its best, and you'll pick up techniques that'll up your game no matter where you fish.

What Anglers Are Saying

Species You'll Want to Hook

Sea Trout: These speckled beauties are a staple of inshore fishing in Georgia. Known for their aggressive strikes and delicious meat, sea trout can be found year-round but really turn on in the fall. They love to hang around structure, so we'll target them near oyster beds and creek mouths. When you feel that distinctive tap-tap-tap on your line, get ready for a fight that'll test your light tackle skills.

Redfish: Also called red drum, these copper-colored bruisers are the bulldogs of the flats. They can grow to over 40 inches, but we typically target "slot" reds in the 18-27 inch range. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and their ability to strip line from your reel in seconds. Sight-fishing for tailing reds in shallow water is an adrenaline rush like no other. When conditions are right, we might even catch them "on the flood," tailing in spartina grass as they hunt for crabs and baitfish.

Blacktip Shark: For those looking for a real battle, blacktip sharks provide heart-pounding action. These acrobatic predators are known for their spectacular leaps when hooked. We typically encounter blacktips in the 3-5 foot range, perfect for light tackle but strong enough to give you a workout. They're most active in the warmer months and add an exciting dimension to any inshore trip.

Southern Flounder: Masters of camouflage, flounder are ambush predators that lie in wait on the bottom. Catching them requires finesse and patience, but the reward is one of the tastiest fish in the sea. We'll target them along drop-offs and creek edges, using live bait or soft plastics dragged slowly along the bottom. When you feel that distinctive "thump," set the hook hard - flounder have tough mouths and won't give up easily.
