- Unforgettable Fishing Adventures in Savannah, GA
Summary
Tim and his crew joined us for a productive Wednesday September fishing charter around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island waters. The conditions were ideal with partly cloudy skies and calm waters, perfect for our planned inshore fishing adventure. We focused on bottom fishing, trolling, and casting with lures, techniques that consistently produce results in these Savannah waters. The group connected with Sheepshead, Southern Flounder, Black Drum, and Sea Bass throughout our 6-hour trip. These species are drawn to the structure and current breaks that hold baitfish in the Tybee-Wilmington Island area. At Captain Zach's Fishing Charter, we specialize in these inshore waters that offer reliable action for anglers of all experience levels. Fall in Savannah provides some of the best fishing conditions, with cooler temperatures and active fish preparing for winter.

Highlights of Inshore Trip
Our inshore trips focus on versatile fishing techniques that maximize your chances of success. We employ bottom fishing around structure, trolling through current lines, and casting with lures toward promising shorelines and drop-offs. This multi-approach strategy is why our trips consistently produce Sheepshead, Southern Flounder, Black Drum, and Sea Bass year-round in the waters around Savannah.
The Tybee Island-Wilmington Island area features an ideal mix of habitats—from oyster beds and dock pilings to deeper channels and current breaks—creating perfect conditions for a variety of gamefish. Fall trips benefit from cooler water temperatures that trigger feeding frenzies as fish fatten up before winter. The calm, protected waters also make this an excellent option for families and those who prefer fishing without venturing into rougher offshore conditions.
Local Species Insights
Sheepshead are one of our most reliable target species, with their distinctive black and white stripes and powerful jaws designed for crushing crustaceans. They're typically found around structure like bridge pilings and oyster beds. When targeting them, precise casting and sensitive touch are essential as these fish are notorious bait stealers.
Southern Flounder provide exciting action and excellent table fare. These ambush predators lie camouflaged on sandy bottoms near drop-offs and creek mouths. We target them using both live bait presentations and artificial lures dragged slowly along the bottom.
Black Drum are powerful fighters that frequent similar habitats to Sheepshead. These fish use their sensitive barbels to locate prey and can be caught year-round, though fall provides some of the most consistent action as they feed heavily before winter.
Sea Bass, while more commonly associated with nearshore reefs, can be found in the deeper channels of our inshore waters. These aggressive fish readily strike jigs and cut bait, making them fun targets for anglers of all experience levels.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters depart early morning from a convenient Savannah marina with easy access to productive waters. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with ample fishing space, shade options, and basic amenities. We provide quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice for your catch. Consider bringing sun protection, polarized sunglasses, weather-appropriate clothing, snacks, and beverages (non-alcoholic). Camera or smartphone for photos is recommended—these Savannah fishing memories are worth preserving! For your comfort, we also have a clean marine toilet on board. Our typical departure time is 7:00 AM, but we can customize the schedule based on tides and conditions to maximize your fishing success.
