Find a guide who knows the water, the bite was slow to start so you need to keep moving. Dress appropriately; sunscreen, UV shirt, hat and sunglasses with plenty of water. There’s no shade and it’s hot.

Plenty of variety in May. I went out on a charter on Monday which was part of a conference event. I caught trout, flounder, red fish, and even reeled in a blue crab. For my Friday charter, we targeted Sheepshead. Which I caught along with my first toad fish catch! We then moved on to night time shark fishing which did not disappoint! Had more fish than I expected. Fishing booker is always my choice when looking for a fishing experience.

Yes, but the Skipper's limitations on number of total fish you can keep and number of certain kinds, like 1 red fish per person and 12 total fish for the trip - not per person, should be in the description on fishingbooker. Once you have paid a deposit, you are stuck unless you want to give up your deposit.

Went fishing with Bad Intentions Fishing – Capt. Marcus on March 20, 2024
This was a very good trip for anglers of any skill. Captain Marcus was very helpful in helping us get onto the fish. Using live bait made it pretty easy to tell when we had bites and he was helpful in landing the fish. It was a very good, trip.

The fishing was pretty good, but the weather can always make things dicey. Our trip was rescheduled one day because of a big storm coming through the area. One thing no one tells you is to be aware of the sand gnats in early March!

Try to book a trip during the peak times for the kind of fish you are targeting. Weather is certainly an important consideration as well. Booking on a week day is probably a good idea as well. There will be less competition for the fishing spots you need to investigate.

If you are booking a fishing trip, Travis is your guy. We had an absolute blast. We were booked on a day with bad weather and he called us and pushed it to the next day so we had a great day. We were not experienced fishers and he was very patient and made sure we had fun. Also, pulling up to the dock, we had may more fish than the other charters so he knows his stuff. Travis IS Georgia fishing. No need to look at any other captains. He is THE captain.

Experience was worth the price given the captain was actively making sure we had plenty of opportunity to catch fish. We moved to several spots to increase our chances and it paid off. Really appreciated this with our captain.

It is a perfect time for fishing. Not to hot but also not cold. We were bringing in fish left and right.

Don't expect big red or trout. If you book with Marcus from bad intentions he will put you on fish and bring a lot home.

It’s the summer . It’s slower fishing but it’s about the experience. The guides can’t control if you hook the fish or if they bite.

Be flexible. Your guide cannot control the weather so have an open mind and follow their suggestions for your best experience.

If your fishing in the summer just be aware that the fishing here is much better in the fall especially for in shore

July in Savannah is HOT. That’s why we wanted a night trip. The sunset and weather were out if his control, but man it was beautiful!

I only put “good” because I know that the fishing is even better in different seasons such as fall.

Would get advice first on best season to fish and type. Book your holiday around those dates. Learned fishing better and best November and December when it's cooler.

Being open to different styles, techniques, and species will increase your odds when the water is warm.

Fishing inshore in Savannah is generally a GREAT experience, which is why our dud of a trip is still confusing to me.

Best time for me is morning during this time of the year not cold and it warms up towards the end of the charter but it’s not beating down on you.

Call ahead and talk to the Capt so you get a sense of what the weather will be and how the Guide wants to fish.

Capt stated best times were fall, conditions are unpredictable for this time of year. Cold, rain and wind affected the outcome but we were still able to catch fish with little work.

If there’s rain forecasted that does not mean fish won’t bite. Get with captain Traub and he’ll put you on some hitters.

Don’t go in expecting a huge bite in July the water is warm but with the right conditions and spot placement you may have some luck
