- Unforgettable Fishing Adventures in Savannah, GA
Summary
Spring fishing in Savannah is hard to beat, as our recent trip with Captain Zach's Fishing Charter proved. We set out at sunrise under partly cloudy skies, with perfect conditions around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island for our inshore adventure. The tide was in our favor for our 4-hour trip, and we quickly got into action with some bottom fishing for Spotted Weakfish. As the Saturday April morning progressed, we switched to trolling, which led to the highlight of our day—a monster 36-inch Redfish. We rounded out our techniques with some surf casting, giving us the full Savannah fishing experience. If you're looking to experience these productive inshore waters with an experienced local guide, Captain Zach provides all the necessary gear and expertise to put you on fish.

Highlights of Captain Zach's Fishing Charter
Our inshore trips focus on the productive waters around Tybee Island and Wilmington Island, where we employ multiple fishing techniques to keep the action consistent throughout your trip. We start with bottom fishing, which typically produces quick results with species like Spotted Weakfish. As conditions change throughout the day, we adapt our approach, switching to trolling or surf casting to target different areas and species.
The trophy Redfish are the stars of our spring trips, with specimens reaching well over 30 inches. These powerful fish put up incredible fights and make for memorable catches. Our local knowledge of tides, structures, and seasonal patterns helps ensure you have the best chance at landing these prized gamefish during your time on the water.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish, also known as Red Drum, thrive in Savannah's diverse inshore ecosystem. These bronze-colored fish with distinctive black tail spots prefer the shallow flats, oyster beds, and creek mouths found throughout our local waters. In spring, they become particularly active as water temperatures warm, making this an ideal time to target them. The most effective techniques include slow-trolling with live bait along channel edges, sight casting on the flats during high tide, and working soft plastics around structure. Their powerful runs make them one of the most exciting inshore species to catch in Georgia waters.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our charter boats are well-equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suited for inshore fishing. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and bringing a camera to capture your catches. Morning trips typically begin around sunrise when the fish are most active, though afternoon trips can be productive as well. Our vessels comfortably accommodate small groups, making this an ideal outing for families, friends, or solo anglers looking for personalized attention from an experienced captain.
