Highlights of Savannah Inshore Fishing

The waters around Whitemarsh Island offer excellent structure fishing with consistent sheepshead action throughout the year. These fish move through regularly, feeding around docks, pilings, and oyster bars where we focus our efforts. The area also produces redfish, trout, and other inshore species depending on the season and conditions.

Our 4-hour trips give you plenty of time to work different spots and techniques. We'll start with bottom fishing around structure, then move to live bait presentations or casting lures based on what's working. The key is staying flexible and reading the water—something that comes from years of fishing these local waters.

Local Species Insights: Sheepshead

Sheepshead are one of Savannah's most reliable inshore targets, known for their distinctive black stripes and excellent table fare. These fish feed heavily around structure like docks, pilings, and oyster beds where they pick off barnacles, crabs, and small baitfish. They're notorious bait stealers with their small mouths and quick bites, requiring patience and the right technique. Around Whitemarsh Island, we find them consistently near the deeper dock structures and channel edges. The best approach involves using light tackle with small hooks, fresh shrimp or fiddler crabs, and keeping a tight line to feel those subtle taps. July brings good sheepshead fishing as they're active in the warmer water and feeding aggressively before the heat of late summer.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our inshore charters accommodate up to 4 anglers comfortably, with all fishing gear, tackle, and bait provided. We typically start early morning around sunrise to take advantage of the best fishing conditions and cooler temperatures. The boat is equipped with safety gear, fish cleaning station, and cooler space for your catch. I'll provide instruction on techniques and help beginners get comfortable with the gear while experienced anglers can focus on the fishing. Bring sunscreen, hat, drinks, and snacks for the 4-hour trip. We'll clean your catch at the end of the day so you can take home fresh fillets.
