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, 20264 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.

Tybee fishing trip
4 Hour Trip on July 8, 20262 adults2 children

We had an excellent experience booking our fishing trip through FishingBooker. The entire process was easy and straightforward, with plenty of information about the captains and trips to help me choose the right one. Everything was exactly as advertised, and communication was smooth from start to finish. Captain Jesse was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we had a successful and enjoyable day on the water. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and we caught plenty of fish while making some great memories. We were having such a great time that we went over our time limit and he never worried about the time. He genuinely was more concerned in us having fun. I highly recommend FishingBooker to anyone looking for a hassle-free way to book a fishing adventure. I'll definitely be in contact with Jesse if we come back to Tybee for another great trip!

Best trip ever with Captain Jesse!!
6 Hour Trip on July 20, 20264 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!!

Response from Captain

6 Hour Trip on September 24, 2025

Because I know this guy and I felt like he could put my on fish I took a chance on the newest Captain in my circle of friends and boy did that work out! Jesse had everything I needed to tear it up while vacationing in Savannah. We got lucky and had good weather, good bites and lots of fun catching up. I’d never caught sheepshead and said as much…so he showed me the way. We tore up those little arm-wrestlers and caught plenty of other fish before and after the sheep show. Can’t recommend him enough. Book with confidence. To be fair, I’ve known him for more than 30 years but I’m certain he’d make a strangers fishing trip just as memorable.
