Anglers Are Hooked
"We had an awesome time celebrating two buddies' birthdays out on the water! Our goal was to catch a shark—and we did—along with a mix of other fish. The scenery was beautiful, the fishing was a blast, and Captain Mike made it a trip to remember. Thanks for a great day!" - Randy
Species You'll Want to Hook
Black Drum: These bruisers are like the heavyweight champions of Savannah's inshore waters. They put up a fight that'll have your arms burning, especially when you hook into one of the bigger ones. Black drum hang around structures like oyster beds and bridge pilings, and they love a nice chunk of crab or shrimp on the hook. Spring and fall are prime times to target these guys, but you can find them year-round if you know where to look.
Sheepshead: Don't let their striped appearance fool you – these fish are crafty little thieves that'll steal your bait if you're not paying attention. They're masters at nibbling bait off hooks without getting caught, which makes landing one a real accomplishment. Sheepshead love hanging around structures like docks and jetties, and they're a blast to catch on light tackle. Plus, they're delicious if you're looking to take some home for dinner.
Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a favorite among Savannah anglers. They've got a distinctive spot on their tail, and they put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Redfish love cruising the shallows, especially during high tide when they're hunting for crabs and small fish. Fall is prime time for big bull reds, but you can catch them year-round in these parts.
Bonnethead Shark: These smaller cousins of the hammerhead are a blast to catch and perfect for anglers looking for their first shark experience. They're quick, they fight hard, and they're abundant in Savannah's waters, especially in the warmer months. Bonnetheads love hanging out in shallow, grassy areas where they hunt for crabs – their favorite snack.
Blacktip Shark: Now we're talking some serious action. Blacktips are known for their acrobatic leaps and blistering runs that'll have your reel screaming. These guys start showing up in late spring and stick around through the summer, following bait schools close to shore. Landing a blacktip is a real thrill – they're strong, fast, and will give you a fishing story to tell for years.

Black Drum
Blacktip Sharks are exciting catches around here, usually running 4-5 feet long and up to 150 pounds. You'll find them cruising the shallows and near artificial reefs, especially in summer. These sharks love oily fish, so we chum with mackerel or herring to get them fired up. They're known for putting on a show, sometimes even leaping clear out of the water when hooked. Blacktips can be a bit shy, but once they smell food, watch out – they go into a feeding frenzy. To land one, we use heavy braided line and circle hooks to handle their power. The fight is thrilling, but be ready for some work. My tip? Try live sardines as bait – the oilier, the better. Blacktips may not be the biggest sharks out there, but they more than make up for it with their energy and acrobatics.

Bonnethead Shark
Sheepshead are a blast to catch and great eating too. They usually run 1-8 pounds, with a deep body and those unmistakable human-like teeth. You'll find them around any structure with barnacles – docks, bridge pilings, jetties. They're here year-round, but really bunch up in early spring for spawning. Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers, so you've got to be quick on the hookset. Most folks use light tackle, which makes for a fun fight with these strong fish. They're prized for their sweet, white meat. Here's a tip for landing more: scrape some barnacles off the pilings to create a chum slick. The sheepshead will come in looking for an easy meal, and that's when you present your bait. Fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp work great.
Redfish
Redfish are a favorite around here, known for their coppery color and that distinctive black spot near the tail. Most we catch are in the 20-30 inch range, but they can grow much bigger offshore. Look for them in super shallow water, sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster beds, grass flats, and muddy bottoms. Fall is prime time when they school up for spawning. Anglers love Reds for their strong fight and excellent table fare. They'll hit just about anything when they're feeding – topwater lures can make for some exciting strikes. If you want to land a big one, try this: use a larger 5-6 inch lure and work the edges of the flats where they drop off into deeper water. That's where the trophy Reds often lurk.
Sheepshead
Bonnethead Sharks are the smallest hammerheads, usually 3-4 feet long. Don't let their size fool you though – these little sharks put up a great fight. You'll spot them in shallow coastal waters, especially near sandy bottoms where they hunt for crabs and small fish. Summer's the best time to target them here, before they head south for winter. Bonnetheads are unique – they're one of the few sharks that hunt in schools, sometimes up to 15 together. They're not aggressive toward humans, which makes them fun and less intimidating for newer anglers. To catch one, use a stout rod with 20-pound test line and a wire leader. Here's a local trick: bait your hook with a chunk of fresh blue crab. Thread it through one of the crab's legs to make it irresistible to these sharks.
