May 12, 2020 Capt Judy’s inshore offshore fishing report and Preverbal Talk Wrench story!
Fishing statement: To try to insure that fishing stays in the hearts of those that are
going to love it!
While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Haden Farr
and Taylor Gunby Savannah, Georgia had a grand catching day! (Even if their
shirts were on backward!)
While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charter in May as the winds were howling
at over 30 mph and cold conditions prevailed Taylor Gunby and Haden Farr Savannah, Georgia caught
some very nice fish and basically had a fish catching blast!
While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Haden Farr
Savannah Georgia caught this nice soon to be released bonnet head shark!
While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charter Taylor Gundy
Savannah, Georgia caught this nice spotted sea trout! Yep, it was dinner in the
makings!
While inshore light tackle fishing with Captain Matt Williams of Miss Judy Charters Courtney and Devin
Bass of Richmond Hill, Georgia caught some very nice fish. This is what they kept and they released the
rest! So therefore it looks like crispy scored flounder one night and trout almondine the second! Heck, if
all this fancy cooking doesn’t appeal then it’s going to be a heating of the grease, dipping the fillets in
corn meal, and frying kind of the night! Now if it were me, I would do the latter and then pour Georgia
cane syrup on the fried fillets, but then that is just me!
Inshore Catching Report!
The inshore bite especially with all the windy conditions has been to say this least unpredictable for
sure! However, fishing everyday like our inshore captains do, things are much better in the catching
department! Our captains have been catching their own live shrimp, which means; at least most of the
time that their shrimp are livelier, less stressed out, and last longer on the hook. They have also been
using mud minnows for bait, which also has worked like a charm on the fish!
While inshore fishing with Captain Kevin Rose of Miss Judy Charters Leah Harris (Wrens) and Stephen
Spindler (Hephzibah) caught some really nice fish! They caught red fish, spotted sea trout, blue fish, and
whole bunch line stretching Lady Fish!
Birthday fishing trip gone right!
While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters The Day family celebrated Jack’s
number 14 birthday!
From left to right: Captain Garrett Ross, Jonathan Day, (father) birthday boy Jack (just turned fourteen)
Julie (mother) and older son John (16)
So here’s what happened: The family fishing team caught some really nice spotted sea trout, which
some were released and a few were kept. Jack caught a nice 21 inch mega spotted sea trout, which was
safely released back to the wild. The team also caught some short trout, blue fish, large lady fish, red
fish, and other biters, which were all promptly released! What on the cleaning table? The makings for
Jack’s birthday celebration dinner!
Birthday Jack’s Dinner! It looks great and tastes even better! And this is what I call a very successful
birthday celebration! Jack catches as lot, keeps a few, and then the family get to eat! Now this would
be called a color coordinated meal!
While celebrating his number 14 birthday Jack Day and family had a blast inshore fishing with Captain
Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters! Jack is holding one of many trout that were caught fought some
kept and some released!
While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Jack Day Savannah celebrated
number 14 birthday! This is a nice blue fish that Jack caught, which as you can see swallowed his live
shrimp hook, line, and almost sinker!
Shark Fishing in the Sound
Sort of kind of...a fish catching day!
Kind of Sort Of Fish Day!
Please meet Jeb Brumby (12) Cumming, Georgia, which is in the middle of fighting a nice Atlantic
Sharpnose shark. You can’t see me, (Captain Judy), but I am there talking with Jeb offering some reeling
suggestions. However, Jeb did not need any; he was successfully as well as correctly fighting this nice
shark on light tackle. So of course I had to remark, “You must have done this before!” And with this
comment Jeb very quietly said, “Kind Of Sort Of!” did he land the shark? Yes
Sound fishing equals Grand Catching Possibilities!
The sound fishing has been great! Why? You really never know what you might catch! And here’s the
thing...Short boat rides to the sound area will get you some grand catching possibilities! It is so simple,
while using small pieces of shrimp peeled or not bites from whiting, blue fish, summer trout, eels,
stingrays, small to large sharks, croakers, spots, burrfish (the cutest fish ever) Spanish mackerel, and
other biters!
Cutie! This is a burrfish! We do not catch many of these fish, please if you do, release as soon as
possible!
Luck Be A Lady!
Cameron Brumby Cummings, Georgia is sporting a big fish catching smile! And Captain Alli
DeYoung of Miss Judy Charters is assisting! Heck, while trolling offshore we haven’t seen
many of these fish jumping or on our hooks! And Cameron while using a small thin tinned
hook laced with a piece of peeled shrimp catches this nice Spanish mackerel! Everyone was
happy including me! (Captain Judy) So what does this all mean? Well, if you plan on fishing a
tournament, I suggest asking Cameron to join you! Caused the luck be with her! Wasn’t that a
hit song sung by Frank Sinatra? “Luck be a Lady!” If you too old to remember and too young to
care...that is ok too!
Welcome to Shark-ville!
Cameron Brumby Cumming Georgia caught his nice Atlantic Sharpnose shark while using a small whiting
steak as bait. Alli DeYoung of Miss Judy Charters is assisting! This shark was successfully released back
to the wild!
Alli DeYoung of Miss Judy Charters is assisting Katelyn Dornam Cummings, Georgia with her just caught
soon to be released Atlantic Sharpnose Shark! No deep battered fried shark fingers today!
John Brumby Cummings, Georgia just caught this soon to be released Atlantic Sharpnose Shark! Alli
DeYoung of Miss Judy Charters is assisting! What was John using for bait? A small piece of squid!
Although the shark’s head was cut out of the picture I still wanted to show you that Jana Brumby
Cummings, Georgia was having one heck of a fish catching time! And after all isn’t this what fishing is all
about? It is time to go fishing! Why? Short boat rides to the fish are taking place! The next question
will be...Your boat or mine! It is time to file a float plan! Alli DeYoung Miss Judy Charters is assisting!
Savannah Snapper Banks
Lots of reeling going on!
Ashley Benton Savannah (local award winning artist) and Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charter are
both sporting big fish catching smiles! On the cooler there is array of bottom fish displayed! These
fishermen caught trigger fish, black sea bass, vermilion snapper, porgy, white grunt, perch, almaco jack,
amberjack, and etc....they kept what’s on the cooler and released the rest!
While plain old bottom fishing at the Savannah Snapper Banks James Lomax (age 12) Charlie Hamrick
(holding genuine red snapper) Randy Lomax (dark t-shirt) Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters
Tyler Clark (cap on backwards) and Jeff Lomax had one heck of a grand fish catching time! They fought
caught and released at least 80 genuine red snapper. And during all of the catching they caught a little
of everything! They kept some and they released some! Yes this genuine red snapper was safely
released unharmed!
Lollopped Bite!
James Lomax 12 year old is holding the biting business end of a nice gray trigger fish! While reeling in,
James felt a big tug, which resulted in his hooked trigger fish supposedly trying to swim to the surface.
What we didn’t know was a large shark had grabbed his fish biting down with killing first and eating
second on its mind! Well, as you can see the killing did take place and ½ the eating! What kind of bite is
this? Lollopped bite! It is where a shark tries to take a serious bite by starting with putting as much of
the fish’s tail first into its mouth. As you can see this shark got about mid way with this trigger fish
before deciding to make a clean strong bite! We all watched as James reeled in his tail-less trigger fish.
And what was following behind? A still very hungry angry ready to eat again big shark! So what did we
do? We removed the leftovers off the hook and threw the rest of the trigger fish at the shark. This is
when the shark finished exactly what it had started!
While offshore fishing Captain Judy Helmey aboard Miss Judy Too Jeff Lomax caught this very nice
amberjack, which by the way put up quite a serious line stretching fight! Alli “The Kid” DeYoung is
assisting!
On the freshwater catching side...we have
My cuz (Captain Judy) and good friends with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy
Charters, Mickey Holbrook owner operator of MAD GILLZ Fishing Guide Service
a call. (470 262 6035) Mickey is a member on the gangster side of the family!
And that is all I am going to say about that!)
Mickey reports... Lake Lanier is productive right now. The fish have been on their
spawn and have now started to group back up. Down line bite is still very
productive. However, the top water and trolling bite is good. The water
temperature is at 65 and rising so the fish are active. It’s time to do a little
freshwater at Lake Lanier fishing! Why? Because now you know it is TIME TO
GO! Give Mickey a call (470 262 6035) and make reservations today!
For those of you that want to do a little fresh water fishing I highly suggest giving Mickey Holbrook
owner operator of MAD GILLZ Fishing Guide Service a call. (470 262 6035) There are two things that we
know for a fact ...and what is that? Our new fresh water connection is Mickey Holbrook! And I
approved this message times two!
World famous Swirleybirds lures by Veteran Bill Vanderford
Old School is the Tool!
Now I have known Bill and fished with him for many years. And I know by saying this I am showing my
age. However, sometimes when it comes to catching fish age equals seasoned and also equals lots of darn
acquired knowledge! Between the two of us, well we are weighted down with fishing knowledge for sure!
In Bill’s case he knows freshwater and saltwater fishing like the back of his hand and any lure he invents
or endorses works more than not! So give them a try, but don’t unless you want your best chance at
catching fish! Just do it!

Little Miss Judy’s Believe It or Not!”
Preverbal Talk Wrench
Photo by Rich Gulck
This is an old time torque wrench. A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely apply a specific
torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt.
Preverbal Talk Wrench
My father had one of these torque wrenches in a pale green cardboard box, which he kept under his
bed. As a child I would occasionally pull the box out from under the bed and take a “serious look see.”
To me this was an amazing tool, because my father always called it “the talk wrench!” Now I can’t and
won’t say that the wrench ever said anything, but I always wanted to give it as much opportunity as
possible. I know it talked to daddy, because he said so!
Thanks for reading! Captain Judy
