Our Wednesday May fishing charter in Savannah delivered consistent action despite the forecast. Launching near Tybee Island-Wilmington Island under partly cloudy skies, we focused on bottom fishing and bait techniques with some casting mixed in. The crew connected with multiple species including sheepshead, black drum, and redfish using targeted structure fishing. Captain Zach's local knowledge of the inshore waters paid off as we worked the current changes and structure effectively. The 3-hour afternoon trip proved ideal for experiencing what makes Savannah inshore fishing so rewarding—accessible waters, varied techniques, and year-round opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. Even as the afternoon rain began moving in, everyone left with great catches and memorable experiences on these productive Georgia coastal waters.

Savannah's inshore waters offer year-round opportunities with seasonal highlights. Spring brings particularly active fishing as water temperatures become ideal for multiple species. The Tybee Island-Wilmington Island area features a mix of structures, current seams, and depth changes that create perfect habitat for gamefish. Our targeted approach focuses on these productive zones.
Sheepshead and black drum are structure-oriented species that respond well to our bottom fishing techniques, while redfish can be targeted with both bait presentations and artificial lures in the right conditions. The occasional mahi mahi provides exciting variety to our inshore trips. Water clarity and tidal movement significantly impact fish behavior in these areas, which is why having a captain with local knowledge makes all the difference in finding consistent action throughout your trip.
For your 3-Hour Inshore (PM) trip, we recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing, polarized sunglasses, and sun protection. While we provide all necessary fishing gear, you're welcome to bring your favorite rod if preferred. Our vessel is equipped with the essentials for a comfortable and productive day on the water, including shade options and safety equipment.
