Highlights of 6 Hour Trip – Inshore

The inshore waters around Savannah and Daufuskie Island offer exceptional fishing opportunities with varied structure and healthy fish populations. Our 6-hour trips give you plenty of time to try different spots and techniques, maximizing your chances of success. Captain Zach focuses on teaching effective fishing methods while putting you on the fish, whether you're an experienced angler or new to fishing. The spring months bring active Sheepshead and Flounder to the area structures, and our knowledge of local patterns helps ensure a productive day on the water.

The partly cloudy conditions we often get in spring create comfortable fishing weather and good visibility for spotting structure and fish activity. We'll work areas around docks, bridges, and natural structure where these prized inshore species gather. Our tackle is specifically selected for these techniques, and we're happy to explain the methods we use so you can improve your own fishing skills. Most guests appreciate the combination of action, instruction, and the beautiful coastal scenery that comes with a day on Savannah waters.

Local Tips & Conditions

Savannah's inshore waters offer excellent fishing year-round, but spring and early summer provide some of the most consistent action. Water temperatures in the mid-60s to mid-70s trigger increased feeding activity, especially around structure. When fishing the waters around Daufuskie Island, look for tidal movement that concentrates bait and attracts predator fish. Morning outings typically provide the best combination of comfortable temperatures and active fish, which is why we schedule early departures for most trips.

The estuarine system around Savannah supports a diverse ecosystem with plenty of bait fish, crustaceans, and gamefish. This nutrient-rich environment creates ideal conditions for species like Sheepshead and Southern Flounder. Local knowledge is crucial here - knowing which structures hold fish during different tide stages can make the difference between a slow day and non-stop action. We closely monitor conditions and adjust our fishing locations based on seasonal patterns, recent catches, and daily variables like water clarity and temperature.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our fishing charters accommodate up to six guests comfortably, making this an ideal outing for families, friends, or small groups. We provide a well-maintained boat equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, and live bait appropriate for targeting our local species. For your comfort, we recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, weather-appropriate clothing, and any food or beverages you might want (non-alcoholic beverages are best for fishing trips). Most trips begin early morning, typically between 6:30-8:00 AM, but we can adjust based on tides and your schedule.

No fishing experience is required - Captain Zach provides clear instruction and hands-on guidance throughout the trip. Children are welcome, and we have appropriate gear for younger anglers. For safety, we maintain all required coast guard equipment and follow strict safety protocols on every trip. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, productive, and educational day on the water that creates lasting memories while putting you on quality fish in beautiful Savannah waters.
