Brunswick reels in fishermen from all over the Eastern seaboard. You could say we're an angler's dream for saltwater, freshwater, and surf fishing. Here, there's everything from sea bass and grey trout to the tuna, marlin, and mahi-mahi that fin their way through the blue waters of the Gulf Stream, just 45 miles away. Flounder, drum, blue fish–they're all here, too. Local piers abound and are a great place to cast your line. There are many tournaments, including king mackerel, pier fishing, flounder, etc., encouraging family fishing with "lady" and "junior" angler prizes. You'll also find charter boats galore. They range from large cruisers with a captain and the latest in fishing technology, to runabouts with an outboard that give you access to our magnificent Intracoastal Waterway. Come on out; a great catch awaits you.
