Captain Zachs Fishing Charter in Savannah

Fishing Charter with Zachary Holick – Rates & Booking

Captain Zachary of Captain Zach's Fishing Charter on Monday July offers Private Inshore Fishing Trips targeting Black Drum, Spotted Weakfish, and other local species. Our charter accommodates up to 4 guests with all fishing equipment and licenses included. We launch from 2812 River Dr in Savannah, making it convenient to access the productive inshore waters around Daufuskie Island. As a licensed captain with extensive local knowledge, I'll guide you to the best fishing spots based on current conditions and seasonal patterns. Whether you're looking for a morning or afternoon trip, we can customize the experience to match your schedule and fishing goals.

Highlights of Private Inshore Fishing Trip

Our inshore charters focus on delivering consistent action with a variety of techniques. We'll mix bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and casting artificial lures – a combination that produces results in Savannah's inshore waters. The partly cloudy summer conditions create perfect fishing environments around structures and moving water where predator fish feed. Recent trips have yielded impressive Black Drum up to 28 inches and quality Spotted Weakfish around 19 inches.

These summer fishing trips are ideal for anglers of all experience levels, including families and first-timers. The protected inshore waters provide both comfort and access to great fishing opportunities. Our focus on species like Black Drum gives you the chance to battle hard-fighting fish that will test your skills and create lasting memories of your Savannah fishing adventure.

Local Species Insights: Black Drum

Black Drum are one of Savannah's premier inshore species, known for their powerful fights and availability throughout much of the year. These cousins to the popular Redfish thrive in our brackish waters around oyster bars, bridge pilings, and deeper channels. When targeting Black Drum in summer months, we focus on structure-oriented spots where they feed on crustaceans and shellfish.

The most effective technique involves bottom fishing with fresh cut bait or crabs near structure. Their strong sense of smell makes scent-based baits particularly effective. When hooked, Black Drum use their weight and power to make strong, determined runs that provide an exciting challenge on medium-weight tackle. The summer months see these fish actively feeding in our inshore waters, making it an excellent time to target them around Savannah.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your day on the water with Captain Zach's Fishing Charter, wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and bring sun protection including hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. We provide all necessary fishing gear including quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait. You're welcome to bring your own gear if preferred. A small cooler for drinks and snacks is recommended, and we'll have ice for keeping your catch fresh if you plan to take fish home. Our boat is well-equipped with safety equipment and fish-finding technology to maximize your fishing experience. Early morning trips typically offer the best conditions, but we can accommodate various start times based on tides and your schedule.
