Our 6-hour inshore trips give you plenty of time to work different spots and techniques around the productive Tybee Island-Wilmington Island area. The structural elements and current breaks in these waters hold baitfish year-round, creating consistent action regardless of when you visit. Captain Zachary focuses on three primary techniques—bottom fishing, trolling, and casting with lures—to maximize your chances of connecting with Savannah's diverse inshore species.
Fall fishing trips offer particularly favorable conditions with mild temperatures and actively feeding fish preparing for winter. The partly cloudy skies common during this season create ideal light conditions for spotting fish while keeping temperatures comfortable on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler or bringing the family for their first fishing experience, our adaptable approach ensures everyone has opportunities to catch fish.
Savannah's inshore waters provide diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. The area between Tybee Island and Wilmington Island features numerous structural elements that attract and hold various species. Sheepshead are typically found around hard structures like bridge pilings and rock formations, where they feed on barnacles and crustaceans. Southern Flounder prefer sandy bottoms near channels and creek mouths, where they ambush prey. Black Drum frequent oyster beds and deeper holes, responding well to fresh crab or shrimp baits. Sea Bass are structure-oriented and can be found around artificial reefs and natural ledges.
Weather patterns significantly impact fishing success in Savannah's inshore waters. The partly cloudy conditions mentioned in Tim's trip create ideal visibility without excessive heat, allowing for comfortable and productive fishing. Tidal movements are crucial here—fishing the moving tide (either incoming or outgoing) typically produces better results than slack tide periods. Captain Zachary's local knowledge ensures you're at the right spots at the right times to maximize your chances of success.
