This 4-hour inshore charter targets the holy trinity of Georgia coastal fishing – redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. You'll hit multiple productive spots around Tybee's marshes and creeks, where these fish love to hang out. Whether you're a weekend warrior or picking up a rod for the first time, Captain Trey supplies all the gear and know-how you need. Just bring yourself and get ready to bend some rods.
What to Expect on the Water
This half-day trip keeps things moving at a steady pace. You'll launch from Tybee and cruise to Captain Trey's proven honey holes – shallow flats, creek mouths, and structure where redfish patrol and trout ambush baitfish. The boat stays close to shore in protected waters, so you won't deal with rough seas or long runs offshore. Perfect for families, beginners, or anyone who wants quality fishing without burning a whole day. Captain Trey reads the conditions and adjusts the game plan accordingly – if the wind picks up or weather turns, he knows backup spots that stay fishable. The intimate 2-person capacity means you get personalized attention and won't feel rushed when fighting fish.
Tackle and Techniques
You'll fish with light spinning tackle perfectly matched to inshore species – sensitive enough to feel subtle bites but with enough backbone to handle a bull red. Captain Trey rigs everything from soft plastics on jig heads to live shrimp under popping corks, depending on what the fish want that day. Expect to work shallow water structure, grass beds, and oyster bars where these species feed. Sight fishing for tailing reds gets your heart pumping, while drifting creek channels for trout keeps the action steady. Flounder fishing means bouncing baits along sandy bottoms near drop-offs. All gear, tackle, and bait come included – Captain Trey stocks quality stuff that won't let you down when a fish of a lifetime grabs hold.
What Anglers Are Saying
"Captain Trey exceeded all expectations. He not only put us on the fish—reds and speckled trout—but also guided us with the skill and care of an exceptional captain. This trip was especially meaningful because my father, who has been battling lung cancer, fulfilled a bucket list goal of catching speckled trout, thanks to Captain Trey's expertise and compassion." - Leah
"Despite less-than-ideal conditions, Captain Trey's expertise shined as he put us on fish, and soon we were landing keeper-sized trout and redfish. Though he offered to clean the catch, I chose to release them for someone else to enjoy down the line—hopefully when they've grown even bigger." - Steve
"Captain Trey was outstanding! He put us on the fish right away, and we caught plenty of reds thanks to his knowledge of the best spots. We couldn't have asked for a better morning." - Brian
Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish are the crown jewel of Georgia inshore fishing, and Tybee Island serves up some beauties. These copper-colored bruisers cruise shallow flats and creek edges year-round, though fall and winter offer the most consistent action. Bull reds push 30+ inches and fight like freight trains, while slot-size fish in the 18-27 inch range make perfect table fare. Watch for nervous water, tailing fish, or that telltale bronze flash in skinny water. Reds eat everything from cut bait to artificials, making them perfect for any angler's skill level. The sight of a big red's shoulders rolling in two feet of water never gets old.
Speckled trout bring finesse fishing to the Georgia coast. These beautiful fish love grass beds, creek mouths, and areas with good current flow. Spring through fall produces the best numbers, though winter can serve up some true giants when conditions align. Specks average 14-18 inches but can stretch past 24 inches if you're lucky. They're notorious for light bites and quick runs, keeping you on your toes. Live shrimp under a popping cork is deadly, but soft plastics worked slowly can be just as effective. Many anglers consider specks the best eating fish in these waters.
Summer flounder add variety to any inshore trip around Tybee. These flatfish masters of disguise bury themselves in sandy bottoms near structure, waiting to ambush passing baitfish. Peak season runs late spring through early fall when they move into shallow water to feed. Flounder require patience and bottom-bouncing techniques, but that subtle tap-tap-tap bite followed by steady weight signals game on. Most run 14-18 inches, though doormat flounder over 20 inches occasionally show up to make your day. Their unique fighting style and excellent table quality make them a favorite target for many local anglers.
