Angler Tales

"Our captain was fantastic and put in a lot of effort to find the fish. We also spotted plenty of dolphins, a bald eagle, and an osprey along the way!" - Jodi

Fish on the Menu

Summer Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage and put up a great fight for their size. They love to hang out on sandy or muddy bottoms, waiting to ambush their prey. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision – when you feel that thump on your line, it's game on! These tasty fish are available year-round but are especially active in the warmer months.

Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these guys are a favorite among local anglers. They're known for their distinctive spots and their willingness to hit artificial lures. Sea trout are most active during the cooler months, from fall through spring. When you hook one, be ready for some acrobatic jumps and zippy runs. Plus, they're delicious on the grill!

Redfish: Ah, the redfish – also called red drum. These copper-colored beauties are the crown jewel of Tybee Island inshore fishing. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some real bulls lurking in the deeper channels. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and their distinctive black spot near the tail. They're around all year, but the fall "bull red" run is something special. When you're hooked up to a big red, you'll know why anglers can't get enough of them.

Redfish

Redfish are a real crowd-pleaser on our charters. These copper-colored beauties are easy to spot with that distinctive black dot near their tail. Most run 28-33 inches, but they can grow much bigger. You'll find them in super shallow water, sometimes with their backs sticking out! They love hanging around oyster beds, grass flats, and muddy bottoms. Fall is fantastic for redfish, but they're catchable year-round. Folks get excited about redfish for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. They've got a mild, sweet flavor that's hard to beat. To hook one, try working topwater lures or jigs in shallow areas during high tide. Here's a local tip: look for "tailing" redfish in really shallow water – their tails will break the surface as they root for crabs and shrimp. Just approach quietly and cast beyond them for your best shot.

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a local favorite here on Tybee. These silvery fish typically run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight on light tackle. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love to hang around oyster beds and creek mouths. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Anglers go crazy for sea trout because they're aggressive feeders and taste fantastic on the grill. Their delicate, flaky white meat is hard to beat. For the best luck, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. A local trick is to fish the tide changes – that's when sea trout are most active. Just remember, they have soft mouths, so set the hook gently. Winter's a good time to find big schools in deeper water, up to 50 feet down.

Summer Flounder

Summer Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending right into the sandy bottom. They're usually 15-20 inches long, but can grow up to 26 pounds. Look for them in shallow coastal waters, especially near structure. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait for smaller fish and crustaceans. Fall is prime time for flounder fishing around Tybee, when they're moving to deeper waters. Anglers love targeting them for their tasty white meat and the challenge of hooking a fish that's practically invisible. They put up a decent fight too, especially the bigger ones. To improve your chances, try drifting live bait like mullet or minnows along the bottom. A circle hook works great – it's easier for flounder to grab with their sideways bite. Keep your line tight and be ready for that telltale thump when they strike.
