Highlights of 3 Hour Trip – Inshore

Our morning inshore trips focus on Whitemarsh Island's diverse ecosystem, where we can target multiple species using different techniques in a single outing. The area's unique combination of grass flats, channels, and structured areas creates ideal habitat for redfish, southern flounder, summer flounder, speckled trout, and black drum. We'll adapt our approach based on conditions, using proven methods like bottom fishing over productive structure, drift fishing through channels, and casting lures along grass edges.

The 3-hour duration is perfectly suited for summer fishing, getting you on the water during the cooler morning hours when fish are most active while finishing before the midday heat becomes uncomfortable. This trip length also provides enough time to work multiple areas, increasing your chances of connecting with a variety of species and enjoying consistent action. Captain Zach's local knowledge ensures we'll focus our efforts on the most productive zones based on tides, water temperature, and seasonal patterns.

Local Fishing Insights

Savannah's inshore waters offer exceptional fishing opportunities throughout the summer months. The Whitemarsh Island area features a perfect mix of habitats, from shallow flats to deeper channels, creating ideal environments for various gamefish species. During July, redfish can be found cruising grass edges during high tide periods, while speckled trout tend to gather around structure and drop-offs. Black drum, which provide excellent light tackle action, are typically located in deeper holes with good current flow.

For the best results in these summer conditions, we employ varied techniques throughout the trip. Bottom fishing with fresh bait produces consistent results for black drum and redfish, while drift fishing allows us to cover water efficiently when targeting flounder. When conditions are right, casting artificial lures along grass edges and oyster beds can trigger aggressive strikes from speckled trout. The variety of techniques we use ensures everyone on board can enjoy consistent action regardless of experience level.
