Highlights of 6 Hour Trip – Inshore

Our Tybee Island-Wilmington Island trips deliver consistent action targeting multiple species in a single outing. We specialize in bottom fishing structure for Sheepshead and Black Drum, while also employing trolling techniques that produce Southern Flounder and Sea Bass. The diverse environments we fish—from river mouths to coastal structure—provide excellent opportunities regardless of the conditions.

Fall brings ideal temperatures that trigger feeding frenzies across all our target species. The cooler water temperatures activate the fish without the summer crowds, giving us plenty of space to work our favorite spots. Captain Zach's local knowledge ensures we're on fish throughout the season, adapting techniques as conditions change throughout the day.

Local Tips & Conditions

Savannah's inshore waters offer some of Georgia's most productive fishing grounds. The area between Tybee Island and Wilmington Island features a mix of structures including oyster beds, creek mouths, and marsh edges that hold baitfish and attract predatory species year-round. Tidal movements significantly impact fishing success here—we typically target the first few hours of falling tide when gamefish actively feed along channel edges and structure.

Weather patterns remain relatively stable during fall months, with pleasant temperatures and decreased chance of afternoon thunderstorms compared to summer. Water clarity tends to improve as well, making sight fishing occasionally possible over sandy flats for species like Flounder. Light tackle and artificial lures work extremely well this time of year, though we always bring live bait options to ensure success regardless of conditions.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our charter departs from a convenient marina access point with ample parking. We recommend bringing sun protection, weather-appropriate clothing, and a small cooler for beverages (we provide ice). Our vessel comfortably accommodates up to six anglers with stable fishing platforms and shade options for hot days. Morning charters typically meet 30 minutes before sunrise to maximize prime fishing time, though we offer flexible scheduling options.

Captain Zach handles all cleaning and packaging of your catch at trip's end, and we're happy to recommend local restaurants that will prepare your fish if desired. Photography of your memorable catches is included, and we prioritize both safety and comfort throughout your time on the water. For those concerned about seasickness, our inshore trips stay within protected waters that experience minimal wave action.
