My love affair with Coastal Georgia continues! What a joy to spend time with Captain Duane Harris and discuss the fishing charters and eco-tours he offers through “Sea Georgia Adventures”. He moved to the area right after finishing college in Colorado. Captain Duane worked as head of the Coastal Georgia region Department of Natural Resources for thirty-three years, he also did consulting for the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council for nine years after retirement. Now, he follows his bliss and leads others through the world he loves, the sea, rivers and marshes with all of the wildlife and vegetation native to the area.
The knowledge Captain Duane possesses of Coastal Georgia is vast and he loves sharing it. History, information about the eco-system, his involvement with establishing the artificial deep sea coral area off the coast all play into what you can learn on an eco-tour. Tours can be customized to fit the interests of the customer. Six people can participate in one of these two-three hour tours which begin at Village Creek Landing and venture out past Hampton toward open sea, around Little St. Simons Island and back to the landing.
If you are interested in birding you will be in for a treat! Captain Duane’s knowledge of the many species that inhabit this area will delight any birding enthusiast. He guides tours through local marshes and rivers, discovering all of the various birds to be found making their homes in the most unusual places. You may even see a curious dolphin or two. And, something I did not know, there are manatees to be found here at certain times of the year.
Fishing charters begin in early morning and return by mid-day. Sea Bass, Flounder, River Trout, Black Drum and at times Tripletail are just a few of the fish to be caught on one of these excursions. Captain Duane knows just where to go to provide fisherman with the best catch. But, he admits there are days when the fish just aren’t biting.
Being involved in a business that allows him to share his wealth of knowledge and love of Coastal Georgia is a dream come true for Captain Duane. This will be a trip you will never forget whether you are a resident of the area or a visitor. I can’t wait to experience my first eco-tour! Call the Captain and arrange for your tour or fishing charter.
