Target Species: Redfish, Tarpon, and Jack Crevalle
Redfish
Redfish (Red Drum) are the staple of our inshore fishery. Year-round residents, they can be targeted in all seasons with artificial lures and fly crawling on flood tide grass flats, swimming creeks and shorelines, and schooled up in the deeper rivers and bays. Summer and fall is is considered prime time, with aggressive eats and fish pushing double digits in the creeks and rivers.
Tarpon
Tarpon arrive in summer, typically between June and September. These giants show up hungry in the sounds and larger rivers on the tail end of their northward migration, cruising edges while looking for bait. Hooking into a tarpon is one of the most exciting things in all outdoor pursuits and we are fortunate enough to have them around the Georgia Lowcountry for a few months every year.
Jack Crevalle
Jack Crevalle show up when the water heats up, and when they do, they bring chaos. It’s not uncommon to see large schools of jacks hammering bait on the surface of the deeper rivers and bays of the Savannah area. These fish are hungry, fast, powerful, and love a well-placed topwater plug or streamer. When hooked, jacks make long runs and pound for pound fight as hard as any fish that swims.
The Georgia Lowcountry
The Georgia Lowcountry isn’t just a backdrop for fishing, there is a whole culture established around it. Here the water defines everything from the rhythms of daily life to the food on the table. This region is a vast, living estuary with a network of winding tidal creeks, expansive spartina grass flats, and oyster laden shorelines that stretch from Tybee Island to the quiet banks of Richmond Hill. Shrimp boats still pass on the horizon, and crab traps dot the creeks. Locals have fished, harvested, and traveled these waters for generations.
For anglers, this means easy access to one of the most dynamic and visually engaging fisheries in the Southeast. The same tides that flood the marsh and bring tailing redfish into the grass also sweep baitfish through the sounds, drawing in predators like jacks and tarpon. These waters are wild and alive. Fishing here means adapting to different conditions, reading the marsh like a map, and moving with purpose and experience.
Whether you're easing a skiff across a glassy flat at sunrise or watching a school of reds wake through a narrow creek bend, the experience is as much about where you are as what you're catching. Fishing in the Georgia Lowcountry is immersive, physical, and deeply connected to this place.
How We Fish Savannah, GA
We are a catch and release operation that specializes in fishing with artificial lures in shallow water and take advantage of every opportunity to sight fish that the Georgia Lowcountry gives to us. If sight fishing with artificial lures isn’t your thing, we can make arrangements to use live bait (when available) to show you the best experience that we can.
We spend the majority of our days poling and trolling likely areas looking for signs of fish. We’ll look for fish pushing, waking, tailing, rolling, blitzing, and sometimes even swimming with their backs completely out of the water. Once spotted, accurate casts placed in front of moving fish usually get the bite.
There are always areas and times where seeing fish is not possible. During those times, probing likely areas with blind casts can be as, or more productive as sight fishing, especially for anglers new to fishing shallow saltwater.
Seasonal Fishing Opportunities Near Savannah, GA
Fishing here changes with the seasons and tides, and we fish accordingly:
Spring (March–May): Reds start getting active, jacks may show early, and warming temps bring life to the flats.
Summer (June–August): Tarpon season hits full stride. Early mornings and evenings beat the heat. Flood tide redfishing picks up.
Fall (September–November): This is peak season for redfish. They're feeding heavily before winter, and big schools stack up in shallow creeks and flats. Jacks and tarpon may still linger early in the season.
Winter (December–February): Clear, cold water concentrates redfish into tight schools. This is a great time for visual fishing. Be ready for spooky fish and technical casting.
