Ready for some family fun on the water? Southern Sport Fishing Charters has you covered with our Brunswick GA Bottom Fishing Charter for Kids. This 2-hour trip is perfect for introducing the little ones to the joys of fishing without overwhelming them. We keep things simple, focusing on easy techniques that'll have everyone reeling in catches in no time. It's all about creating those lasting memories and maybe even sparking a lifelong passion for fishing!
Our trips are all about keeping it laid-back and enjoyable for the whole family. We'll cruise out to calm inshore waters where the fish are biting and the waves are gentle. No need to worry about seasickness here! We use basic bottom fishing setups baited with shrimp - it's a foolproof method that's perfect for beginners. The kids will have a blast feeling those tugs on the line as they reel in small sharks, whiting, and even the occasional stingray. And don't worry, parents - our experienced crew will be there every step of the way to lend a hand and make sure everyone stays safe while having a great time.
This trip is all about learning the ropes of fishing in a fun, pressure-free environment. We'll show the kids (and adults!) how to bait their hooks, cast their lines, and recognize when they've got a bite. Our crew will demonstrate proper fish handling techniques and might even sneak in some info about the local marine ecosystem. We provide all the gear and bait, so there's no need to invest in equipment before you know if fishing's your thing. It's hands-on learning at its best, and you might be surprised how quickly the little ones pick it up!
"Captain Brandon provided a very memorable experience for both my kids (ages 7 and 8) and myself. Would highly recommend the kids trip to anyone with younger kids. I will be calling again in the very near future!!!" - Brad
"One of the best captains we have been out with. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and down right fishy. Had us on fish within minutes of our trip starting. Will be booking again!" - Ben
"Brandon is an ambassador of the Brunswick area with a love of fishing. He made my son the priority, which is what I was looking for. The Reds and Trout bite was slow so he put us on the best Mangrove Snapper bite we've been on. We ended up catching well over 25 of them, brought only the good ones home to include 4 over 14". We're looking forward to our repeat trip in Oct for Bull Reds." - Russell
Southern Stingray: These flat, diamond-shaped creatures are a real hit with kids. They glide through the water like underwater kites and put up a fun fight when hooked. Southern stingrays can grow quite large, but we usually catch the smaller ones on our trips. They're most active in the warmer months and love hanging out in sandy or muddy bottoms. While we always practice catch and release with these guys, they're a great way to teach kids about the diverse marine life in our waters.
Atlantic Sharpnose Shark: Don't worry, these aren't the scary kind of sharks! Atlantic sharpnose sharks are small, typically only reaching about 3 feet in length. They're common in our inshore waters and are known for being eager biters, which makes them perfect for keeping kids engaged. These little sharks are quick and can give a decent tug on the line, providing just enough excitement without being too overwhelming for young anglers. They're around pretty much year-round, but we tend to see more of them in the warmer months.
Our Brunswick GA Bottom Fishing Charter for Kids isn't just about catching fish - it's about creating experiences that last a lifetime. We've seen countless families bond over the excitement of a child's first catch or the silly antics of trying to reel in a feisty fish. It's a chance to unplug from screens and connect with nature and each other. Plus, there's nothing quite like the pride on a kid's face when they've caught their very own fish.

We had a blast on our fishing trip! Captain Brandon was very informative and explained everything, from how to fish, hold the polls, the current in the water and how to tell where good spots are. And he made sure we caught something. We will definitely recommend them and can’t wait to do it again!

Brandon did a great job of getting us to the fish and helping us get them into the boat. He's very knowledgeable about the area, what's biting and what sort of bait we need. We plan on coming back, but for more time so we can catch more fish.

Atlantic sharpnose sharks are perfect for kids looking to catch their first shark. These small predators, usually 2-3 feet long, are common in our warm coastal waters year-round. Look for them near the shore, in bays, and even in brackish water. They're easy to spot with their pointed snout and white-spotted sides. Sharpnose sharks will bite just about any bait, dead or alive, making them fun for novice anglers. Despite their size, they put up a good fight when hooked. Summer's prime time, but you can catch them any season. Use medium tackle and wire leaders – their teeth are sharp. A pro tip: try chumming to bring them in close. Kids get a kick out of their feisty nature, but don't worry, they're harmless to humans. Remember to handle them carefully and release quickly. It's a great way to teach conservation while having a blast on the water.

Southern stingrays are kite-shaped bottom-dwellers you'll often spot gliding along the seafloor. They're common in our calm inshore waters, hanging out in sandy or muddy areas. Females can grow up to 5 feet wide, while males are smaller. These rays use their "wings" to uncover small fish, crustaceans, and worms to eat. They're not aggressive, but watch your step – they have a venomous barb on their tail for defense. Kids love seeing these gentle giants up close. To catch one, use live bait like pinfish on a strong line. Let it sit on the bottom, then reel in slowly. Patience is key – stingrays will often investigate before committing. Summer's the best time to target them, especially near piers or in shallow bays. Remember, handle with care if you land one. Their skin's rough, and that barb's no joke. It's all catch-and-release for these beauties on our trips.
