With comfortable, well-equipped vessels and professional guidance throughout your trip, you'll enjoy a safe and productive day on the water.

Highlights of Your Shark Fishing Charter

Shark fishing around Whitemarsh Island offers unique excitement that few other fishing experiences can match. The waters surrounding the island feature ideal structure and current breaks that naturally attract and hold baitfish, creating perfect hunting grounds for various shark species. During your charter, Captain Zach will position you in these productive areas where Bonnethead Sharks and other species actively feed.

Our approach combines both bottom fishing and spinner fishing techniques, allowing us to present baits effectively throughout the water column. This versatility maximizes your chances of success, particularly during summer months when shark activity peaks in our local waters. The light tackle we employ ensures you feel every head shake and powerful run, making even modest-sized sharks deliver an unforgettable fishing experience.

Local Tips & Conditions

Savannah's inshore waters around Whitemarsh Island create ideal shark habitat due to the perfect combination of structure, tidal flow, and baitfish concentration. When targeting Bonnethead Sharks, we focus on areas where oyster beds, creek mouths, and current breaks create natural feeding stations. Water clarity plays a significant role in our approach – on clearer days we might use more natural presentations, while in murkier conditions we'll incorporate additional attractants to help sharks locate our baits.

Summer months deliver our most consistent shark fishing, with water temperatures reaching the ideal range for active feeding. Morning trips often produce the best action as cooler water temperatures tend to position sharks in more predictable feeding areas. While shark fishing is accessible to anglers of all skill levels, be prepared for explosive strikes and powerful runs that will test both your equipment and technique. Captain Zach will guide you through proper fighting techniques to ensure you have the best chance of landing these impressive predators.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our shark fishing charters depart from convenient Savannah locations with easy access to Whitemarsh Island's productive waters. We recommend wearing comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, non-marking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and bringing a camera to document your catches. Our vessels accommodate up to four anglers comfortably with ample fishing space and essential safety equipment. Morning departures typically begin around sunrise when shark activity is often at its peak, though specific departure times will be confirmed upon booking. Light snacks and bottled water are provided, but feel free to bring additional refreshments for your trip. All fishing gear, tackle, bait, and licenses are included in your charter package, making this a hassle-free fishing experience.
