Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Savannah
Savannah, Georgia fishing centers around a vast network of tidal creeks, spartina marsh, barrier islands, and nearshore reefs that hold fish year-round. The key to consistent success here is understanding tides and salinity: most feeding activity in the backwaters happens on moving water, and fish shift with freshwater runoff from the Savannah River and seasonal bait movements along the coast.
Inshore, the primary targets are redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, and sheepshead. From late fall through early spring, trout and reds stack up in deeper bends of creeks, residential dock lines, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Work 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads with soft plastics slowly across the bottom, or suspend live shrimp under a popping cork along current seams. On cold, clear mornings, focus on deeper holes at low tide; as the sun warms the flats, redfish push shallow into mud-bottom ponds and bayous where a quiet approach and long casts are essential.
Spring through early summer brings bait flushes and more aggressive feeding in Savannah’s marsh creeks around Wilmington Island, Skidaway Island, and Ossabaw Sound. Target oyster bars on mid-tides with live shrimp, mud minnows, or finger mullet. Position the boat up-current and let your bait sweep naturally over shell points and along grass edges. Flounder set up on the down-current side of structure; slowly hop jigs or mud minnows along the bottom and be patient on the hookset.
Summer in Savannah opens up a wider game. Tarpon, tripletail, Spanish mackerel, and sharks move into sounds and just off the beaches around Tybee Island and Little Tybee. Look for tarpon rolling along tide lines and around menhaden pods in Wassaw, Ossabaw, and St. Catherines sounds. Large live baits or cut mullet fished on heavy leaders do best. Tripletail often float near the surface around channel markers and crab trap buoys; ease in quietly and pitch live shrimp on light tackle.
Nearshore reefs and wrecks within 5–20 miles of the Savannah River jetties hold black sea bass, summer cobia, spadefish, and king mackerel. Bottom rigs with squid or cut bait produce steady sea bass action, while free-lined live baits, slow-trolled pogies, or cigar minnows attract kings and cobia. Keep an eye on your fishfinder for midwater marks and be ready to switch to a vertical jig or live bait rig when larger predators show up off the structure.
Farther offshore, Savannah anglers target snapper, grouper, amberjack, mahi, wahoo, and tuna on live bottom and ledges. Focus on edges with hard bottom and bait marks. Vertical jigs, live pinfish, or cigar minnows are standard for grouper and amberjack; when water temps warm, troll skirted ballyhoo or small lures along weedlines and color changes for mahi and wahoo. Watch for temperature breaks and rips where bait concentrates.
Throughout the region, a few pragmatic tips pay off.
- Fish moving water: plan trips around strong tide changes rather than clock time.
- Match leader size to water clarity: lighter fluorocarbon in clear winter water, heavier in stained summer water.
- Use the wind: set drifts so baits sweep naturally along structure instead of constantly correcting with the trolling motor.
- Keep a backup plan: when wind shuts down the ocean, Savannah’s protected creeks and rivers still offer productive inshore fishing.
Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Savannah area
Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 5 main harbours in this area.
