Spring fishing in Savannah offers some of the most productive waters along Georgia's coast. Our Saturday April trip with Captain Zach's Fishing Charter showcased the excellent inshore action around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island. With perfect conditions and rising tides, we enjoyed non-stop action using multiple techniques—bottom fishing, trolling, and surf casting—each producing quality catches throughout our 4-hour trip. The highlight came when we landed an impressive 36-inch Redfish, but the consistent bites from Spotted Weakfish kept everyone engaged from start to finish.

Tidal movements strongly influence fish behavior in these waters, with moving tides generally producing better results than slack periods. Captain Zach times trips strategically around these natural cycles to maximize your fishing opportunities.
