Highlights of 3 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)

Our Tybee Island-Wilmington Island fishing trips focus on productive bottom fishing techniques that consistently produce results in Savannah's inshore waters. Captain Zach specializes in teaching both casting with lures and live bait fishing methods that work well for targeting structure-oriented species. The morning departure time gives us the advantage of fishing during prime feeding periods, often avoiding afternoon weather changes that can impact fishing conditions.

These waters feature excellent structure and current flow that create perfect habitat for Southern Flounder and other inshore species. Our specialized approach to bottom fishing allows anglers of all experience levels to connect with these sometimes challenging flatfish. The 3-hour duration provides enough time to work multiple productive areas while keeping the trip length manageable for everyone from beginners to experienced anglers.

Local Fishing Insights

The Savannah area offers excellent inshore fishing opportunities throughout the year, with the waters around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island being particularly productive. These protected inshore areas feature a mix of structure, current seams, and depth changes that concentrate baitfish and predatory species. Bottom fishing techniques work exceptionally well here, especially when targeting species like Southern Flounder that ambush prey from the seafloor.

Fall fishing in Savannah brings more stable conditions and consistent action as water temperatures moderate and fish become more active. The morning bite is typically strongest, which is why our AM trips are scheduled to capitalize on this prime feeding window. Captain Zach's intimate knowledge of seasonal patterns and daily movements helps ensure productive outings even as conditions change. For the best experience, dress in layers for early morning comfort and bring sun protection as the day progresses.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

When booking your charter with Captain Zach's Fishing Charter, plan to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. We recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and weather-appropriate clothing. A small cooler for beverages is welcome, and we'll provide a larger cooler for any keeper fish you might want to take home. Our boat is well-maintained with comfortable seating and shade options to ensure your comfort throughout the trip. Morning trips typically begin early, allowing us to be on the water during the most productive fishing hours. If you're prone to motion sickness, consider taking preventative medication before arriving, though our inshore trips generally experience calmer conditions than offshore excursions.
