Highlights of this Charter

This 6-hour inshore fishing trip focuses on the productive waters around Daufuskie Island, where we target multiple species including Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, and Summer Flounder. What makes this charter special is our mixed-technique approach—we'll troll productive areas, work bottom structure, and cast lures to likely holding spots, giving you a complete fishing experience.

The spring months offer excellent fishing opportunities as water temperatures stabilize and fish become more active. Captain Zach's local knowledge of these waters means we'll focus on the most productive areas based on tides, water temperature, and seasonal patterns. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to fishing, this charter provides the perfect blend of instruction and opportunity to catch multiple inshore species.

Local Tips & Conditions

Savannah's inshore waters feature a diverse ecosystem of tidal creeks, oyster bars, and grass flats that create perfect habitat for gamefish. The waters around Daufuskie Island offer particularly good structure with current breaks that concentrate baitfish and predators. Spring and summer bring water temperatures into the ideal range for active feeding, with morning and evening typically providing the best bite.

Tides play a crucial role in our fishing strategy—moving water concentrates fish and triggers feeding activity. We'll plan your trip around optimal tide phases, focusing on areas where current creates feeding opportunities. The partly cloudy conditions mentioned are actually ideal for fishing, providing enough light to spot fish while reducing harsh glare on the water. For comfort, bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses, and dress in layers as morning temperatures can be cool before warming up.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our vessel is a comfortable fishing boat equipped with all the necessary tackle, including rods, reels, and terminal tackle appropriate for inshore species. We provide all licenses, bait, and ice for your catch. For your personal items, we recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), appropriate clothing for the weather, snacks, water, and a camera to document your catch.

The charter meets at our Savannah marina location (details provided upon booking). We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Our 6-hour trips typically run from morning to early afternoon, giving us plenty of time to explore different fishing spots and techniques. For those concerned about seasickness, inshore waters are typically calmer than offshore locations, making this trip suitable for most anglers including beginners and families.
