Summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus), also known as fluke, are fascinating flatfish found in Georgia's inshore waters. These ambush predators bury themselves in sandy or muddy bottoms, waiting for prey to swim by. In Savannah's waters, flounder typically hold near structure, channel edges, and areas with current breaks. They feed primarily on small baitfish, shrimp, and other crustaceans.
The best technique for targeting flounder involves slowly dragging baits along the bottom, mimicking injured prey. Live mud minnows, finger mullet, or shrimp work exceptionally well. Artificial baits like soft plastic jigs with swimming tails can also be productive. Summer and early fall generally offer the best flounder fishing in the Savannah area, particularly during moving tides when these fish become more active feeders.
Our vessel is fully equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suited for inshore fishing. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, along with non-marking shoes, sun protection, and a camera to capture your catch. Feel free to bring your own food and beverages (no glass containers). Morning charters typically begin around sunrise when fish are most active, while afternoon trips start after lunch. Captain Zach prioritizes safety and comfort, ensuring an enjoyable experience regardless of your fishing experience level.
