Local Fish Insights

Savannah's inshore waters offer excellent opportunities for Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Redfish year-round, with spring being particularly productive. Sheepshead are structure-oriented fish that gather around pilings, bridges, and oyster bars where they feed on crustaceans. Their distinctive black and white striped pattern makes them easy to identify, but their nibbling bite requires focused attention and quick hook-sets to catch consistently.

Black Drum tend to school in deeper channels and around structure, responding well to bottom baits like shrimp, crab, and cut bait. These hard-fighting fish offer excellent table fare when caught in the medium size range. Redfish, perhaps the most sought-after inshore species in Savannah, can be found cruising the flats, channels, and structure edges throughout the area. They respond well to both artificial lures and natural baits, making them accessible to various fishing techniques.

Captain Zach's approaches are tailored to these species' behaviors, focusing on productive structure during optimal tide movements to maximize your chances of connecting with these prized inshore gamefish.
