Captain Zachary Holick of Captain Zach's Fishing Charter on Tuesday July offers private inshore fishing trips targeting redfish in Savannah's productive waters. Our Private Inshore Fishing Trip accommodates up to 4 guests with all necessary fishing gear provided. We launch from 2812 River Dr, putting you right in the heart of prime redfish territory. As a licensed captain with extensive local knowledge, I'll guide you to the hot spots where these hard-fighting fish are active. Whether you're a beginner wanting to learn the basics or an experienced angler looking to refine your technique, I'll tailor the experience to your skill level. Live bait, artificial lures, and bottom fishing techniques are all part of our approach to maximize your chances of success.

Highlights of Private Inshore Fishing Trip

Our inshore fishing charter focuses on Savannah's rich estuaries and salt marshes, prime habitat for redfish and other inshore species. You'll experience the thrill of hooking into these powerful fish known for their strong runs and determined fights. The partly cloudy conditions often provide ideal fishing conditions, keeping the fish active and willing to strike.

This trip is perfect for families, groups of friends, or solo anglers looking to experience some of Georgia's best inshore fishing. Throughout your time on the water, I'll share local knowledge about the area, fish habits, and effective techniques to help you connect with these prized gamefish. The scenic backdrop of Savannah's coastal ecosystem adds to the experience, making for both productive fishing and memorable views.

Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish, also known as Red Drum, thrive in Savannah's inshore waters. These copper-colored fighters with their distinctive black spot near the tail are a favorite target for local and visiting anglers alike. During summer months, they can be found cruising the flats, hiding near structure, and patrolling the edges of marsh grass where they hunt for crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish.

The technique we use depends on conditions and fish behavior. When the redfish are actively feeding, we might use artificial lures like soft plastics or gold spoons. During more challenging times, live bait such as shrimp or mud minnows often produces best results. The partly cloudy conditions we often experience in summer provide just enough cover to keep these fish comfortable and feeding in shallow water throughout the day.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your day on the water, I recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), weather-appropriate clothing, and a camera to document your catch. Our boat is well-equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, and live bait when needed. We also provide ice to keep any keeper fish fresh.

Morning trips typically start around sunrise when the waters are calmer and fish are actively feeding, while afternoon trips take advantage of changing tides and different feeding patterns. Our flexible scheduling allows us to target the best tide conditions for redfish success. With a maximum of 4 guests, everyone gets plenty of attention and fishing opportunity. Water and basic snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your favorite beverages or additional food for the trip.
