Planning an outdoor vacation in the Peach State? With the best access to the ocean anywhere in Georgia, Tybee Island fishing charters offer all kinds of angling adventures. Whether you're looking to do some fly fishing or fill the cooler on the reefs, it's all possible along this part of the East Coast.
For anglers eager to get in on the local inshore action, there are dozens of creeks close to the island that you can explore. These serve as hunting grounds for Sharks, Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead. During summer, you can even catch Tarpon close to shore.
If you head into the ocean and hit the reefs instead, you'll find an even greater assembly of fish. Bull Reds, Black Seabass, Cobia, Grouper, Red Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel are just some of what you could encounter. Also, as you reach the distant offshore waters, you'll start seeing pelagics such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, King Mackerel, and even Tuna.
You'll find charter captains in Tybee Island Marina, on Lazaretto Creek, as well as in nearby Savannah. Half days will usually give you enough time to explore the inshore fishing grounds or some local reefs. If you plan on going further offshore, it's recommended to book a full day trip.
Правила и положения
Generally, you'll need to buy a Georgia fishing license before you can start fishing. This applies to anglers aged 16 or older. Aboard charter boats, the captain will often sort out the licenses for you. It's also a good idea to get familiar with fish size and bag limits, though your guide will keep you in the loop regarding those.
