Highlights of this Inshore Fishing Trip

This trip showcases the productive bottom fishing opportunities around Savannah's Tybee Island-Wilmington Island areas. We focus on structure-rich zones where current flow creates ideal conditions for flatfish like Southern Flounder. Our local knowledge of these waters means we can adapt techniques based on conditions, employing a mix of bottom fishing approaches, lure casting, and live bait presentations.

The morning departure gives anglers the advantage of calmer waters and active feeding periods. Even with approaching weather, we were able to put James on a quality Southern Flounder – testament to how productive these inshore waters can be when fished with proper techniques. Our specialized approach to targeting structure and understanding seasonal movements of flatfish makes this trip ideal for anglers looking to add Southern Flounder to their catch list.

Local Species Insights: Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are ambush predators that thrive in Savannah's inshore waters, particularly around Tybee Island-Wilmington Island. These flatfish prefer areas with structure and current flow where they can lie camouflaged on the bottom waiting for prey. Our bottom fishing techniques work particularly well, allowing baits to move naturally along the bottom where these fish are hiding.

The fall season can be particularly productive for Southern Flounder in Savannah as they begin their movement toward deeper waters. Our knowledge of these seasonal patterns helps us target the right areas at the right time. The species responds well to both artificial presentations and live bait, giving anglers flexibility in their approach. When you hook into one, you'll appreciate their strong, determined fight – making them a rewarding target for anglers of all skill levels.
