Wednesday June brought perfect conditions for our inshore fishing charter in Savannah, GA. We headed out to the productive waters around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island with Jacqueline and her crew for an afternoon of non-stop action. Using a combination of bottom fishing, live bait techniques, and artificial lures, we worked the structure-rich areas where fish consistently gather. Captain Zach's local knowledge of these inshore hotspots ensured we found steady action throughout the trip. While we didn't land any trophy catches this time, everyone stayed busy casting and reeling, making for a memorable day on Savannah's beautiful waterways. These inshore waters provide excellent opportunities year-round, with each season bringing different species and challenges that make Savannah fishing so rewarding for both beginners and experienced anglers.
Captain Zachary Holick of Captain Zach's Fishing Charter on Wednesday June offers private inshore fishing trips for groups up to 4 guests. Our Private Inshore Fishing Trip package includes all necessary tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and expert guidance through Savannah's most productive inshore waters. With years of local experience, Captain Zach knows exactly where to find fish regardless of season or conditions. We typically run 4-6 hour trips, giving you plenty of time to work different spots and techniques while enjoying the scenic beauty of our coastal waterways.
Our inshore fishing trips take you through Savannah's rich estuary system around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island, where the mix of fresh and saltwater creates perfect habitat for numerous fish species. Captain Zach specializes in multiple fishing techniques including bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and casting artificial lures, adapting his approach based on tides, conditions, and what's biting best.
These private charters are ideal for anglers of all experience levels—from first-timers to seasoned veterans. Captain Zach is known for his patient, personalized instruction and friendly approach, making the day enjoyable for everyone aboard. As one recent customer, Jacqueline, noted in her 5-star review: "There are not enough stars for this young man. He is more than efficient, knowledgeable about the water ways but he is personable and down to earth."
Savannah's inshore waters offer excellent fishing opportunities throughout the year. The extensive network of tidal creeks, rivers, and marshes around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island creates diverse fishing environments within a short run from our departure point. The area experiences significant tidal fluctuations which greatly influence fishing patterns—Captain Zach plans each trip around optimal tide phases to maximize your chances of success.
Weather conditions in the Savannah area remain relatively mild year-round, though summer afternoons can bring pop-up thunderstorms (as we experienced on this trip with partly cloudy skies). Water clarity and movement are key factors Captain Zach monitors closely, as these conditions directly impact fish behavior and location. His intimate knowledge of how these variables affect fishing helps ensure productive trips regardless of when you visit.
Your charter includes a well-equipped fishing boat perfectly suited for navigating Savannah's inshore waters. We provide quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait appropriate for the species we're targeting and techniques we'll be using. Trips typically begin early morning or afternoon depending on tidal conditions and your preference. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, weather-appropriate clothing, and a camera to document your catch. A small cooler for beverages is welcome, and Captain Zach will provide ice for any fish you wish to keep (though catch-and-release is always encouraged for conservation). For comfort, wear non-marking, non-slip shoes and dress in layers as weather can change throughout your trip.
