Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish thrive in Savannah's diverse inshore ecosystem, making it a premier destination for targeting this popular game fish. These powerful fighters prefer shallow waters ranging from 1-4 feet deep, particularly around oyster beds, creek mouths, and grass flats that are abundant in this area. Spring is one of the best seasons for redfish action around Savannah, as warming waters activate their feeding patterns and bring them into more accessible areas.

When targeting redfish in these waters, live bait presentations work exceptionally well, with local shrimp, mud minnows, and cut mullet producing consistent results. Early morning and evening tides generally offer the most productive fishing windows. Captain Zach specializes in reading the subtle signs that indicate redfish activity – from nervous water to feeding disturbances that less experienced anglers might miss. The satisfaction of battling these hard-pulling bronze beauties makes them a favorite target for Savannah fishing charters.
