Captain Zachary Holick of Captain Zach's Fishing Charter on Monday June offers 3-hour inshore fishing trips around the productive waters of Tybee Island and Wilmington Island.

We welcome anglers of all experience levels and provide personalized instruction on techniques like bottom fishing, bait fishing, and spin casting.

Our vessel comfortably accommodates small groups, making this an ideal option for families or friends looking for a quality fishing experience without spending an entire day on the water. Captain Zachary's extensive local knowledge ensures you'll be fishing the most productive spots based on current conditions, tides, and seasonal patterns.

Highlights of 3 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)

Our Tybee Island-Wilmington Island waters consistently produce quality redfish and speckled trout, especially during summer months when water temperatures are ideal. The afternoon timing works perfectly as it allows the waters to warm up, activating the fish and increasing your chances of a successful outing. Captain Zach focuses on fishing structure that holds baitfish, using the natural current flow to your advantage.

The clear water conditions provide excellent visibility, allowing you to spot structure and fish activity that might otherwise go unnoticed. We'll teach you effective techniques for targeting these inshore species, including bottom fishing with weighted rigs, bait fishing with live shrimp or finger mullet, and spin casting with artificial lures that mimic local prey. These combined approaches ensure we're covering different water columns and maximizing your chances of landing fish.

Local Tips & Conditions

The waters around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island feature a mix of shallow flats, oyster beds, creek mouths, and deeper channels that create perfect habitats for redfish and speckled trout. Tidal movement is crucial here – we time our trips to coincide with the most productive stages of the tide when fish are actively feeding. Summer brings warmer water temperatures that concentrate fish around structure where baitfish gather.

Weather conditions can change quickly in coastal Georgia, but afternoon trips typically benefit from stable patterns. The marshes and creeks we fish provide some protection from winds, making this a family-friendly option even when conditions aren't perfect. Water clarity is generally good, especially during summer months, which improves your ability to spot fish and structure. Captain Zach constantly monitors local conditions to ensure we're fishing the most productive areas based on that day's specific conditions.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our 3-hour afternoon trips launch from a convenient location with easy access to prime fishing grounds. The boat is equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle specifically chosen for inshore fishing in these waters. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, non-marking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and bringing a camera to document your catch. A small cooler for beverages is welcome, and we provide fish cleaning services if you'd like to keep your catch for dinner.

The half-day format is perfect for those who want a productive fishing experience without committing an entire day. It's also ideal for families with children who might not have the attention span for longer trips. Morning departures are available as well, though the afternoon trips often coincide with more active feeding periods during summer months. Call ahead to discuss specific timing based on tide schedules during your planned visit.
