Captain Zachs Fishing Charter in Savannah

Fishing Charter with Captain Zach – Rates & Booking

Captain Zachary Holick of Captain Zach's Fishing Charter on Wednesday September offers 6-hour inshore trips targeting the variety of species these Savannah waters hold. Our charters include all fishing gear, tackle, and bait needed for bottom fishing, trolling, and casting techniques. We launch from convenient locations near Tybee Island and work the productive waters around Wilmington Island where structure and current breaks hold baitfish year-round. Trips accommodate anglers of all skill levels, and Captain Zach provides instruction on techniques and local knowledge to help you connect with sheepshead, southern flounder, black drum, and sea bass. Book online or call for current rates and availability.

Highlights of 6 Hour Trip – Inshore

The Tybee Island-Wilmington Island area produces consistently because of the diverse structure and current breaks that attract baitfish and the gamefish that feed on them. Our 6-hour format gives us time to work multiple spots and adjust techniques based on conditions and what the fish are doing. Fall months like September offer some of the best fishing conditions with cooler temperatures and active fish feeding patterns.

Captain Zach runs a variety of techniques including bottom fishing over structure, trolling along current breaks, and casting lures to visible fish or productive areas. The inshore waters around Savannah hold good populations of sheepshead, southern flounder, black drum, and sea bass that respond well to these methods throughout the year.

Local Species Insights

The inshore waters around Savannah support excellent populations of sheepshead, southern flounder, black drum, and sea bass that provide consistent action for charter fishing. Sheepshead are structure-oriented fish that feed heavily around docks, pilings, and rocky areas using their strong teeth to crush barnacles and crabs. Southern flounder are ambush predators that lie in sandy areas near structure, often around inlet mouths and creek channels where current brings baitfish.

Black drum are bottom feeders that cruise shallow flats and deeper channels, using their barbels to locate crabs and worms in the sand and mud. Sea bass are aggressive predators that school around hard bottom, reefs, and structure where they feed on small fish and crustaceans. The fall months see all these species feeding actively as water temperatures cool and baitfish movements trigger feeding responses.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our 6-hour inshore charters include all fishing equipment, tackle, bait, and ice for your catch. Captain Zach provides instruction on techniques and shares local knowledge about reading water, finding fish, and working different areas effectively. We typically accommodate up to 6 anglers comfortably, though smaller groups often have more flexibility to move between spots and try different techniques. Morning departures take advantage of cooler temperatures and often better fishing conditions, while the extended 6-hour format allows time to work multiple areas and adjust to what the fish are doing on any given day.
