Educational Field trips to Ossabaw Island-Take a step back in time and witness one of Georgia’s barrier islands the way life use to be! We’ll depart the marina at 9 am on select dates, and you’ll get to see and experience the marshes of coastal Georgia. There is plenty of wildlife and points of interest in our 30 minute boat ride to Ossabaw Island, where you’ll be met by the on-island coordinator and naturalist for the Ossabaw Island Foundation -http://www.ossabawisland.org/. You will be led on a 3 hour field trip of the northern section of the island, where you’ll witness history right before your eyes! You’ll see the North Island Plantation site, the longest unpaved road in the State of Georgia, and see the archaeological significance of the old tabby slave cabins, which has received a good deal of national attention the past few years. Access to Ossabaw Island is limited, and this is one field trip you will forever remember! The cost is $100 per person, and includes the boat ride, guide fees, captain’s fees, and Ossabaw Foundation fees.

Fishing Seminars – Coffee Bluff Marina has put together 3 “how to” fishing seminars designed to teach you a different aspect of fishing! The first is “Redfish in the Grass” seminars. When we have a full moon or a new moon, that only means one thing…flooded grass! And, when the grass gets flooded, redfish get up in the grass to search for food! If you’ve ever wanted to see what a tailing redfish looks like, this is a great seminar. On the way to the flooded prairies, we cover different types of baits and rigging, and then we’ll show you what type of geographical terrain you are looking for to find these fish. Once there, we don our waders and start stalking, showing you how to locate, cast, and hopefully catch tailing reds! The cost of this seminar is $60 per angler.

The second seminar we are conducting this year is the “Topwater Trout” seminar…We’ll depart the marina early on a 22 foot Pathfinder, and make our way to some speckled trout waters a short distance away. We’ll show you how to locate trout, and what kind of topwater lures work best for the conditions. We’ll go over the casting skills, rods & reels desired, and line strength, plus show you how to properly work your baits to target and catch speckled trout when blowing up a topwater bait! Seats are limited, and cost is $60 per angler. Call early to reserve your seat…put your float and live bait away and learn how to bust big trout on artificial lures!

Finally, our third seminar this year is the “Running of the Bulls” Seminar…If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to target and catch big bull reds, this is the seminar for you! We’ll cover the rigging and the baits, proper rod and reel selection, then load up in our boat and head out to the shoals to catch some 40 inch fish! The seminar fee is $80 per angler.

Beach Shuttles - Looking to get away from it all? Coffee Bluff Marina now conducts shuttles to beaches on remote barrier islands away from the crowd! We can take you to the south end of Wassaw Island, where you can enjoy the beaches and hike the National Wildlife Refuge trails on the interior of the island, or we can take you to Ossabaw Island and let you have your own beach! The Nature Conservancy purchased Wassaw in 1969 from the heirs of a wealthy northerner who acquired the island just after the Civil War. Wassaw was later incorporated into the Savannah Coastal Refuge System. Today, the island is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which maintains a dock and small headquarters on Wassaw Creek. Wassaw’s virgin stands of oak, pine and cedar support an incredible diversity of animal species. This rare bit of wilderness attracts a large variety of migratory birds, along with alligators, nesting sea turtles and manatees. Beach shuttles can be scheduled for anytime, with a drop off and pick up time pre-determined at the party’s descretion. Shuttle fees are $150 for groups of 1-6, all inclusive. Groups of more than 6 can still be accommodated if advance notice is given.

Redfish Shuttles – A short boat ride away is a prairie full of reds! On the New Moon and Full Moon tides, our grasses become flooded, and redfish move in to prowl. If you’ve ever wanted to see redfish tailing in the grass, this is the trip for you! We’ll load your gear up and whisk you away, then return to pick you up a short time later after you’ve experienced a fishing bonanza…Shuttle to and from the grasslands cost $150 round trip, and we can accommodate up to 6 anglers on each mothership. Simply divide the number of your anglers into $150, and you’ll have a per person charge. We encourage you to bring light-weight waders if you plan to wade, but they are required to enjoy the marshes.
