Hey there, anglers! Ready to ditch the daily grind and hit the open water? Our full-day fishing charter out of Savannah, Georgia is just what the doctor ordered. We're talking 5 to 10 nautical miles offshore, where the real action happens. This isn't just about catching fish (though we'll do plenty of that) – it's about soaking in those killer views and getting a taste of the good life on the water. Bottom fishing is the name of the game here, and trust me, it's a blast. We're after the big boys: Black Sea Bass, Triggerfish, Grouper, Snapper, and even Barracuda. And get this – the price includes four anglers, so grab your buddies and let's make it happen!
Alright, let's break it down. We'll cruise out past the shoreline, leaving the hustle and bustle behind. Once we hit our sweet spot, it's time to drop those lines. Bottom fishing is all about patience and feel – you'll be working your bait near the seafloor, waiting for that telltale tug. We've got all the gear you need, top-notch stuff that'll give you the best shot at landing a trophy. Don't worry if you're new to this; our crew will show you the ropes. And hey, even when the fish aren't biting, you can't beat the views out here. Dolphins, sea birds, maybe even a sea turtle if we're lucky. It's a full day of sun, salt air, and the thrill of the catch. Just remember to bring some snacks and drinks – fishing works up an appetite!
Let me tell you, the fishing's been on fire lately. We've been pulling up some monsters! Black Sea Bass have been practically jumping in the boat, and let me tell you, they make for some amazing eating. The Triggerfish have been putting up a heck of a fight too – pound for pound, they're some of the strongest fish out there. But the real showstoppers? Those big ol' Grouper. When you hook into one of those, you better hold on tight! And don't even get me started on the Snappers – we've been seeing some real beauties. Of course, there's always the chance of tangling with a Barracuda. Those toothy critters will get your heart racing, guaranteed. Every trip's different, but that's what makes it exciting. You never know what's gonna be on the end of your line!
Great Barracuda: These bad boys are the speed demons of the sea. They can grow up to 5 feet long and boy, are they quick! Barracuda are ambush predators, known for their lightning-fast strikes. When you hook one, be ready for a fight – they'll make your reel sing! They're most active in the warmer months, so summer's prime time for Barracuda action. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them!
Red Snapper: Now we're talking good eating! Red Snapper are prized for their sweet, nutty flavor. These beauties can grow up to 40 pounds, though most we catch are in the 5-15 pound range. They like to hang around reefs and wrecks, so that's where we'll be dropping our lines. Red Snapper season is strictly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on! They put up a great fight, especially the bigger ones. When you see that flash of red coming up from the deep, you know you're in for a treat.
Gag Grouper: These bruisers are the heavyweights of bottom fishing. Gag Grouper can top 50 pounds, and they love to use every ounce of that muscle when they're on the line. They're ambush predators, so they'll often hit hard and then try to dive back into their rocky hideouts. The challenge is getting them away from the bottom – it's a true test of angler vs. fish! Gags are most active in the cooler months, making them a perfect target for fall and winter trips. Landing a big Gag is a real accomplishment, and they taste fantastic to boot.
Black Sea Bass: Don't let their size fool you – Black Sea Bass punch above their weight class when it comes to both fight and flavor. These guys typically run 1-5 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. We often catch them two at a time! They're curious fish, often following hooked buddies to the surface, which can lead to some fun double-headers. Black Sea Bass are year-round residents, but they're especially active in the spring and fall. They're a beginner-friendly catch, but even seasoned anglers get a kick out of their feisty nature.
Grey Snapper: Also known as Mangrove Snapper, these guys are the tricksters of the bunch. They're known for their light, finicky bites and their ability to steal bait without getting hooked. Grey Snapper require some finesse to catch, making them a favorite challenge for experienced anglers. They typically run 2-8 pounds, but we occasionally see some in the teens. These fish are most active during the summer months, especially around the full moon. The meat is white, flaky, and delicious – perfect for a fresh fish dinner!
Look, I've been running these charters for years, and I'll tell you why folks keep coming back: it's not just about the fish. Don't get me wrong, the fishing is top-notch, but it's the whole package that makes it special. It's that moment when the city disappears behind you and it's just you, your buddies, and the open ocean. It's the thrill of not knowing what's gonna hit your line next. Maybe it's a personal best Black Sea Bass, or maybe it's a monster Grouper that'll have you telling stories for years. And let's not forget the laughs, the friendly competition, and yeah, maybe a little smack talk when someone loses the big one. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, there's something magical about being out here. It's a chance to disconnect from the world and reconnect with what really matters. Plus, nothing beats the satisfaction of coming back to the dock with a cooler full of fresh fish. Trust me, once you've experienced it, you'll be itching to get back out here.

Black Sea Bass are scrappy little fighters, usually 1-3 pounds but some can reach 8. You'll find them around wrecks, reefs, and rocky bottoms in 60-120 foot depths. They're most active in warmer months when they move closer to shore. Anglers love targeting them for their aggressive bite and tasty white meat. They'll hit just about any bait - squid, cut fish, or small jigs all work well. Here's a tip: when you find one, there's usually more nearby. They often school up, so it can be fast action once you locate them. Black sea bass are hermaphrodites, starting as females and changing to males as they grow. The meat is excellent - mild and flaky. They're a great species for kids or beginners to target, but seasoned anglers enjoy them too.
Gag Grouper are heavy hitters, averaging 20-30 inches but some real monsters push 50 pounds. Look for them around rocky bottoms, reefs, and ledges in 60-250 foot depths. They're ambush predators, so structure is key. Fall and winter are prime seasons as they move closer to shore. Anglers love gags for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. Live bait is the ticket - pinfish, grunts, or squid. Here's a local secret: when you hook one, get it off the bottom fast or it'll hole up and break you off. Gags can change sex from female to male as they age, which is pretty wild. The meat is top-notch - firm, white, and mild. Just be mindful of size and bag limits to keep the population healthy.
Great Barracuda are impressive predators, reaching up to 6 feet long and 100 pounds. You'll find them lurking near reefs and structures in warm coastal waters. These sleek, silver fish are built for speed, capable of short bursts up to 35 mph when chasing prey. Spring and summer are prime barracuda seasons off Savannah. Anglers love targeting them for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. To hook one, try trolling with shiny lures or live bait like mullet. Just watch those teeth when you land 'em - they're no joke! Barracuda make for some exciting catch-and-release action, though smaller ones can be good eating if prepared properly. One local tip: they often hang out near the surface, so keep an eye out for their distinctive shape when cruising offshore.
Grey Snapper, also called mangrove snapper, are sneaky fish that put up a great fight for their size. Most run 1-5 pounds inshore, but offshore they can hit 20 pounds. Look for them around docks, bridges, and any structure in 10-100 foot depths. They're most active at night and during lower light conditions. Anglers love targeting them for their crafty nature and excellent table fare. Live shrimp or small baitfish are top choices. Here's a local trick: use light fluorocarbon leader, as they have great eyesight and can be leader shy. Grey snapper often travel in schools, so where you catch one, there's usually more. The meat is fantastic - white, flaky, and sweet. They're a blast to catch on light tackle and make for some of the best fish tacos around.
Red Snapper are prized catches in these parts, with their vibrant color and tasty white meat. Most we see run 1-2 feet long and under 10 pounds, but big ones can top 30 pounds. You'll find them hanging around reefs, wrecks, and other structure in 60-300 foot depths. Fall is prime snapper season here, when cooler water brings them closer to shore. Anglers love the challenge - they fight hard and can be tricky to outsmart. For bait, nothing beats fresh cut fish or live pinfish. Here's a pro tip: when you feel that telltale thump, reel quick and set the hook hard. Red Snapper have tough mouths and they'll shake free if you give 'em slack. The meat is fantastic - mild and sweet. Just remember to check regulations, as seasons can be short.
