Local Tips & Conditions
Savannah's inshore waters offer year-round fishing opportunities, but each season brings different target species into focus. Fall months like September provide excellent opportunities for Sheepshead around structure, while Flounder become more active along sandy bottoms and drop-offs. The partly cloudy conditions we often see this time of year create perfect visibility for sight casting to visible structure.
When fishing the Tybee Island-Wilmington Island area, understanding the tidal movements is crucial to success. We time our trips to take advantage of moving water, when fish are most active and feeding. The mixture of oyster beds, creek mouths, and deeper channels creates diverse habitat that holds different species throughout the day. Water temperature and clarity affect which techniques will be most productive, which is why having a local captain who knows these waters is invaluable for visitors to Savannah.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters depart from a convenient Savannah marina with easy parking. We recommend bringing sun protection, a light jacket (even in warmer months), camera, and any food or beverages you'd like to enjoy during your trip. A fishing license is not required as you'll be covered under our charter license. We provide coolers with ice to keep your catch fresh until you return to the dock.
For maximum comfort, wear non-slip shoes and layered clothing that can adapt to changing conditions on the water. Morning departures typically offer the calmest conditions, though we can arrange afternoon trips based on your schedule. Our vessel comfortably accommodates small groups with enough deck space for everyone to fish simultaneously. We clean your catch at the dock after the trip so you can take home fresh filets for dinner.
