Many fishermen from non-coastal counties, especially those from out-of-state, may possess limited knowledge of saltwater fishing techniques and may be unfamiliar with Georgia’s indigenous marine sport fish species. Recreational saltwater fishing is excellent in Georgia and every year, large numbers of spotted seatrout, red drum, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, whiting, spot and croaker are taken.

Why Release Fish?

1. Stressed fish populations need your help to recover.
2. A personal commitment to conservation adds fun to fishing.
3. Size, season, and bag regulations make release mandatory.
4. A fish is too valuable a resource to be caught only once.

The future of sportfishing is in your hands. Pass it on!

How to Begin

1. Use hooks that are barbless and made from metals that rust quickly.
