Highlights of this Savannah Fishing Charter

This winter fishing trip in Savannah stands out for its consistent redfish action throughout the day. Departing in the morning under partly cloudy skies created ideal conditions for targeting these hard-fighting gamefish. The waters around Little Tybee Island proved highly productive, with our variety of fishing methods - including bottom fishing, live bait presentations, and casting artificial lures - all producing strikes.

What makes this 4-hour inshore trip special is the accessibility for anglers of all experience levels. The redfish were eager to bite, providing exciting fights and memorable catches for everyone aboard. This shorter trip duration is perfect for those wanting to experience quality fishing without committing to a full day, while still having enough time to locate and target these prized inshore species.

Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish (Sciaenops ocellatus) thrive in Savannah's diverse inshore habitats, particularly around the oyster beds, shallow flats, and creek mouths of Little Tybee Island. During winter months, these fish often school in deeper holes and channels where water temperatures remain more stable. Our techniques vary seasonally, but winter success typically comes from fishing slower presentations near structure and depth changes.

What makes redfish particularly exciting to target in Savannah waters is their aggressive feeding behavior and powerful fights. When hooked, even modest-sized redfish provide substantial resistance, making them a favorite among sport anglers. Their copper-bronze coloration and distinctive tail spot make them easily identifiable and a prized catch for both photographs and dinner plates for those keeping their catch.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your 4-hour inshore fishing charter in Savannah, dress in layers appropriate for the season - winter mornings can start cool before warming up. Our boat is fully equipped with quality fishing gear, safety equipment, and fish-finding technology to maximize your success. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, and a camera to document your catches.

Most inshore trips depart in the morning to take advantage of prime feeding times, though we adjust schedules based on tides and conditions for optimal fishing. The captain will confirm your exact meeting location when booking. Light snacks and water are recommended, and don't forget any personal medications you might need while on the water. Bathroom facilities are limited during the trip, so plan accordingly before departure.
