Our mixed-technique approach sets our charters apart from others in the Savannah area. During your 6-hour trip, we'll utilize trolling patterns to cover water efficiently, work bottom structure for species like Black Drum and Flounder, and cast lures to target Redfish and Speckled Trout in the shallows. This versatility allows us to adapt to changing conditions and find active fish throughout the day.
The waters around Daufuskie Island offer exceptional structure and current breaks, creating perfect ambush points for predatory fish. Our local knowledge means we can quickly transition between spots if one isn't producing, maximizing your fishing time. The mix of open water, oyster beds, grass flats, and deeper channels in this area creates diverse habitats that support multiple species year-round.
Savannah's inshore waters feature a mix of tidal creeks, river mouths, and coastal flats that create perfect habitats for a variety of gamefish. The best fishing typically occurs during moving tides, either incoming or outgoing, when baitfish are forced to navigate through current breaks and structure. Spring through fall offers consistent action, with early morning and late afternoon typically providing the most productive bite windows.
Weather conditions play a significant role in our fishing strategy. Partly cloudy days, like those mentioned in trip notes, often provide ideal conditions with enough light to spot fish while preventing harsh glare on the water. Wind direction and strength affect which areas we target, as some spots offer better protection and clearer water depending on prevailing conditions.
Our fishing trips depart from a convenient Savannah marina with easy access and parking. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, non-marking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and bringing a light jacket even in warm months as it can be cooler on the water.
Our boat is equipped with a trolling motor for quiet approaches in shallow water, quality fishing gear suited for inshore species, and safety equipment for peace of mind. We provide water during your trip, but you're welcome to bring additional beverages and snacks. For your comfort, we have a small marine head (bathroom) onboard. Don't forget your camera to document your catches before release!
