Savannah has a beautiful and bountiful saltwater fishery. Captain Jesse Carter of Even Keel Fishing would love to help you explore it!  Fishing the saltwater rivers and creeks in the Savannah area for nearly 40 years has afforded him a wealth of knowledge for finding the catch of the day.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, or Flounder.  On the day of your trip you're likely to be using light tackle to drift floats or bump the bottom for hungry fish.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Child size life vests provided. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

You'll be casting lines from a 22' Sea Fox bay boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is often the go to approach and provided with your booking.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations but your captain will help you follow them while you fish.

It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Even Keel Fishing.

    Unforgettable experience

    5 Hour Trip on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults

    Our fishing trip included three  generation of family members, the father, the son and two grandsons. As I type the youngest grand is  lamenting about his fishing experience with the rest of the family. This being his first.  Captain Jesse was awesome. He provided my family a rememberable experience to cherish for a lifetime. I would strongly recommend his services to my friends without any reservation. We had so much fun that we are planning future trips with Captain Jesse Carter.

    Best trip ever with Captain Jesse!!

    6 Hour Trip on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults

    Wow!! Where do I begin from the start of our trip, along to several spots we caught so many different types of fish. A couple got away…but that’s part of a fish story! Captain Jesse was amazing with information, locations to go to, great sense of humor and just overall First Class experience! We are we talking about when we can go back!!! Thank you for the best memories EVER…and fish dinner later! Aidan had a fantastic birthday trip and he is stoked to do it again too!!

    Awesome Trip with Captain Carter!

    6 Hour Trip on July 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    me and my wife had a great trip with Captain Carter. we were able to catch every species of fish we intended to plus a few others. we targeted Flounder and Speckled Trout but the windy condition held us up some. we managed to get a few sheepheads along with some nice whiting to make up for the wind. we had a great time and i would recommend Even Keel to anyone interested in a great laid back trip with an experienced Captain!

    6 hour trip. We caught every species talked about and than some.

    6 Hour Trip on July 20, 2026

    4 of us left in the morning at 7am. Started at low tide catching over 20 whitefish and 3 small sharks and one about 3 and a half foot shark. Moved to next spot and landed one ladyfish, a hammerhead and more whitefish and 3 sea trout. Moving on to our final spot hit 3 reds, 2 trout 6 flounder and snapped off a large??? Under the boat. Think it was a good size red or shark. What a trip.

    6 Hour Trip on June 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    We have yearly fishing trips to Savannah for the last 10 years . We generally have fun on fishing charters but don’t catch many fish. While on this charter we caught many fish and different species.We all had an awesome time and didn’t want the trip to end. We are looking forward to scheduling next year with Even keel fishing for years to come. Captain Jesse was awesome!

    Great Captain and Great Service!!!

    4 Hour Trip on November 28, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    I came to Savannah for the Thanksgiving weekend. My son (9 yrs.)wanted to go to fishing and I found Captain Jesse. He was very kind and helpful for our fishing trip. The weather was bit cold, but my boy and I had so much fun catching sea trouts and red fish. I’ll definitely contact him again when we come back to Savannah. Thanks Captain Jesse!!
