Local Species Insights: Spotted Seatrout
Spotted seatrout are one of Savannah's most sought-after inshore species, thriving in the area's brackish waters where rivers meet the sea. These fish prefer structures like oyster beds, creek mouths, and grassy flats—all abundant in Savannah's complex waterways. During March, they begin their pre-spawn pattern, becoming more active as water temperatures rise.
The most effective techniques for spotted seatrout include slow-retrieving soft plastic lures, popping cork rigs with live shrimp, or free-lining live bait around structure. Early morning and evening hours typically provide the best action, especially around moving tides. Captain Zach specializes in finding these productive spots and showing you exactly how to present your bait for maximum success.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your day with Captain Zach begins at the 2812 River Dr location, where you'll board a well-maintained boat perfectly suited for navigating Savannah's inshore waters. The charter provides all necessary quality fishing gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Trips typically start early morning when fish are most active, but Captain Zach offers flexible scheduling options.
Dress in layers and bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), as weather on the water can change quickly. A small cooler for drinks and snacks is recommended, and don't forget your camera to capture your catches. Captain Zach practices responsible fishing, including catch and release when appropriate, ensuring Savannah's fishery remains sustainable for years to come.
