College of Coastal GeorgiaJekyll Island Camp n Paddle
A coastal weekend centered on camping, saltwater kayak fishing, and practical skills, the Jekyll Island Camp n Paddle is a GKF gathering built around fall inshore opportunities and classic Golden Isles scenery. It is not a competition, and the pace suits first-time coastal paddlers as well as experienced inshore anglers interested in fishing alongside the GKF community. Autumn brings active inshore fishing here, with redfish moving along the coast and feeding around creeks, sandbars, and structure. Anglers typically focus on redfish, spotted sea trout, flounder, and sheepshead, exploring places like Jekyll Beach, the salt pond, the boneyard and Driftwood shoreline, Clam Creek, and protected marshes. These waters mix tidal creeks, shell bars, flats, and channels, offering chances to sight fish shallow reds when the tides line up or to work edges and drop-offs for trout and flounder. Throughout the weekend, the emphasis is on reading tides and marsh structure and timing launches to work with the current. Leaders and seasoned regulars share guidance on lure choices for redfish, trout, and flounder, safe approaches to areas such as Clam Creek and Jekyll Creek, and ways to handle wind and current from a kayak. Safety is a priority. Life jackets are required whenever on the water, and participants are encouraged to carry appropriate coastal safety gear and keep close watch on tides and weather. With time to fish multiple tide cycles and fit in sunrise and sunset sessions, evenings wind down around the campfire at Jekyll Island Campground, which offers RV hookups and primitive sites. GKF often provides a Saturday night meal, creating a relaxed setting to trade reports from different launch spots and plan the next tide strategy. Because interest is high and campsites on the island are limited, early reservations are recommended, and reviewing current access, parking, and launch rules ahead of arrival is advised.
