Looking for a solid half-day on the water without burning your entire day? This private 3-hour fishing charter with American Angler Sportfishing hits that sweet spot perfectly. We're talking about quality inshore fishing in some of Savannah's most productive waters, where you and one buddy get the boat all to yourselves. No crowds, no waiting for other people to figure out their tackle – just you, your fishing partner, and our captain who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Whether you're squeezing in some fishing before dinner plans or want to get out early and still have your afternoon free, this trip delivers the goods without the marathon commitment.
Once we shove off, you're looking at three hours of focused fishing action in Savannah's renowned inshore waters. Our captain will have you on fish quickly – no wasting time wandering around hoping for the best. We're targeting productive grass flats, creek mouths, and oyster bars where the fish actually live and feed. The boat stays comfortable for two anglers, giving you plenty of room to work without getting tangled up in each other's lines. You'll be casting to structure, working the tides, and learning why certain spots produce fish while others look good but stay empty. This isn't a lazy drift trip – we're actively hunting fish and adjusting our approach based on what's working that day. The captain provides all the local knowledge, from reading the water to timing your retrieve, so you spend more time fighting fish instead of wondering what you're doing wrong.
We fish with live bait and artificial lures, switching between techniques based on conditions and what the fish want. You'll be throwing everything from topwater plugs at first light to soft plastics worked along the bottom structure. The captain provides quality spinning gear that can handle everything from schooling trout to bull reds that'll test your drag system. We're talking about sight fishing when the water's clear, blind casting to productive structure, and working the moving water where baitfish get pushed around by the tide. You'll learn to read the signs – nervous baitfish, birds working, color changes in the water – that tell you where to make your next cast. The tackle stays simple but effective: circle hooks for live bait, jig heads matched to the current, and plugs that mimic the local forage fish. No complicated setups or gear you need a degree to operate, just proven fish-catching tools that work in Savannah's inshore waters.
White weakfish, also called sea trout locally, are one of the most consistent fish you'll encounter on this trip. These silver-sided fighters love the grass flats and creek edges throughout Savannah's marsh system. They typically run 12 to 16 inches, with some bigger specimens pushing 18 inches or better during peak season. Fall and early winter are prime time for white weakfish, when they school up and feed aggressively before the water temperatures drop. What makes them exciting to catch is their willingness to hit both live shrimp and artificial lures, plus they fight harder than their size suggests. When you hook into a school of feeding weakfish, you can expect steady action with fish after fish hitting your bait as soon as it touches bottom.
Crevalle jacks bring the muscle to your fishing experience, and Savannah's inshore waters hold some serious fish. These bronze-backed bruisers average 5 to 15 pounds but can push well over 20 pounds when you connect with a mature fish. Jacks are year-round residents that become especially active during warmer months when they school up and chase baitfish in spectacular feeding displays. You'll hear them before you see them – the surface erupting as they crash into schools of menhaden or mullet. What gets anglers fired up about crevalle jacks is their raw power and stamina. They'll take drag, test your knots, and give you an arm workout that reminds you why you started fishing in the first place. Plus, they're not picky eaters, hitting everything from live bait to flashy spoons and jigs.

Caranx HipposCrevalle jacks are the bulldogs of our local waters - powerful, aggressive fighters that'll test your tackle. These brassy-green fish with bright yellow tails typically run 12-24 inches and 3-5 pounds, but the big ones can push 60 pounds. You'll find them in our shallow bays, around grass flats, and near any structure from the shallows out to deeper water. They hunt in schools and love chasing baitfish to the surface. Summer months are best when they're most active in our warm waters. What guests love is the pure power - these fish fight hard and never give up. They're curious too, often approaching the boat. Pro tip: watch for diving birds - that's your sign jacks are pushing bait up. Cast silver spoons past the school and retrieve fast. They can't resist the chase.
Atractoscion NobilisWhite weakfish are actually part of the croaker family, despite being called "white seabass" around here. These silver-bodied fish with blue-grey speckles can grow surprisingly large - we see them averaging 28 inches and 7-8 pounds, though the big ones can hit 5 feet. They love our brackish waters and estuaries, usually hanging between mid-water and the surface around 10-30 feet deep. Spring through early summer is prime time when they're most active. What makes them special is that strong fight despite their "weakfish" name - they'll give you a real workout. They communicate using distinct sounds, which is pretty cool. My local tip: use fresh squid as bait and look for them near structure where squid hang out. The meat is excellent eating too.
