The sun glints off the water. A gentle breeze ripples the surface. The boat rocks softly. Fishing rods lean against the railing. A cooler sits nearby filled with ice. The air smells of salt and fish. In the distance pelicans dive for their catch. Suddenly a line goes taut. The reel whirs as the fish fights. The angler grips the rod tightly. Muscles strain as they reel. A splash erupts as the fish breaks the surface. It's a black drum thrashing wildly. The net dips into the water. The fish is lifted aboard. Its scales shimmer in the sunlight. High fives all around. Another great catch on a perfect day.

Summary
Casting off from the historic shores of Savannah, Georgia, anglers set their sights on the prized Pogonias cromis, better known as the black drum. As the sun rises over the coastal waters, the anticipation builds for a day of exciting fishing. The brackish estuaries and inshore waters around Savannah provide the perfect habitat for these powerful fighters. Equipped with sturdy rods and reels, fishermen prepare their bait of choice - often fresh crab, shrimp, or cut bait.

Other customer memories from this trip
The typical offshore fishing charter boat is a center console vessel ranging from 25 to 35 feet in length. It features a spacious open deck layout with plenty of room for anglers to move about and fish comfortably. The boat is equipped with multiple fishing rod holders along the gunwales and a large live bait well to keep bait fresh throughout the trip. A sturdy T-top provides shade and mounting points for outriggers used when trolling. The helm station has modern electronics including GPS, fishfinder, and radar to locate fish and navigate safely. Powerful outboard engines, usually twin or triple configurations, provide the speed and range needed to reach productive fishing grounds quickly. Below deck, there's typically a small cabin area with a marine toilet for passenger comfort on longer excursions. The boat also carries safety equipment like life jackets, flares, and a VHF radio. With its combination of fishing amenities and seaworthiness, this type of vessel is well-suited for both nearshore and offshore charter fishing trips under the guidance of an experienced captain.
