Tuesday July brought perfect conditions for inshore fishing in Savannah as Captain Zach took Michael out for an afternoon charter. Launching from River Drive under partly cloudy skies, we hit some productive spots around Savannah's rich estuaries. Using a mix of live bait fishing and artificial lures, we targeted redfish in their summer haunts. The redfish put up an excellent fight, giving Michael a real taste of what makes Savannah's inshore waters special. Throughout the trip, I shared local knowledge about seasonal patterns and fishing techniques that work well in our coastal waters. Despite the threat of storms, the weather held off, allowing us to make the most of our time on the water. The smiles at the end of the day told the story—another successful day of Savannah inshore fishing in the books.

Our inshore fishing trips in Savannah offer an exciting opportunity to target a variety of species in the rich estuaries and salt marshes that characterize Georgia's coastal waters. Redfish are often the stars of the show, known for their strong fights and preference for shallow water. Throughout the year, we adjust our techniques based on seasonal patterns and tidal movements, using both live bait and artificial lures to maximize your chances of success.
These private charters accommodate up to four guests, making them perfect for families, friends, or solo anglers looking for personalized attention. Even if you've never fished before, you'll feel comfortable as I provide patient instruction and all the necessary gear. The scenic backdrop of Savannah's waterways adds to the experience, with abundant wildlife and picturesque salt marshes surrounding us as we fish productive areas where the bite is hottest.
Savannah's inshore waters offer some of Georgia's most productive fishing grounds, with a network of tidal creeks, estuaries, and salt marshes that provide excellent habitat for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and other coastal species. Summer months in Savannah bring warm water temperatures that push fish into predictable patterns—often seeking deeper holes during midday heat or feeding actively during morning and evening periods. The partly cloudy days can actually provide ideal conditions, giving just enough cover to keep fish active without completely shutting down the bite.
Tidal movement is crucial to successful fishing in our area, with moving water generally producing better results than slack tide periods. I always plan trips around optimal tide schedules to put you on fish during their most active feeding windows. Weather patterns can change quickly in coastal Georgia, but even with the possibility of afternoon storms, we can typically find protected areas to fish productively. My local knowledge of Savannah's waterways ensures we can adapt to conditions and find productive spots regardless of weather challenges.
When you book with Captain Zach's Fishing Charter, we'll meet at our launch point at 2812 River Dr in Savannah. I recommend wearing comfortable clothing, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses. While all fishing gear is provided, you're welcome to bring your own if preferred. Consider bringing a small cooler for beverages (non-alcoholic recommended), snacks, and to store your catch if you plan to keep fish.
Most inshore trips run 4-6 hours, typically starting in the morning or afternoon depending on the season and tides. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests and is equipped with safety gear and fishing electronics to enhance your experience. I'm happy to accommodate anglers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced fishermen looking to refine their technique or learn local patterns. Photos of your catch are always encouraged, and I'm happy to assist with both catch-and-release or keeping legal fish for the table.
