Top Catches This Season

Alright, let's talk strategy. When it comes to hooking into these monster redfish, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on where the fish are biting. Sometimes we'll be sight casting in the shallows, watching for those big copper-colored tails waving in the air. Other times, we might be anchored up and bottom fishing with cut bait or live mullet. The key is staying versatile. We'll use heavy-duty spinning gear or baitcasting setups, typically spooled with 30-40 lb braid. Leaders are crucial when targeting these big boys – we usually go with 40-60 lb fluorocarbon to stand up to those powerful runs and prevent break-offs on oyster beds. And here's a pro tip: when you hook up, don't horse these fish in. Let them run and tire themselves out. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and the fight is half the fun!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's a reason why Savannah is becoming a hot spot for redfish fanatics. These aren't your average reds – we're talking about true giants that'll make your fishing buddies back home green with envy. Our clients rave about the sheer power of these fish.

This is right in Savannah's backyard, making it accessible for a quick fishing getaway. Plus, with our all-inclusive setup, you don't have to worry about a thing. Just step on board, and we'll put you on the fish. It's the perfect combo of convenience and world-class angling that keeps folks coming back year after year.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's dive into what makes these bull redfish such a prized catch. First off, their size is no joke. We're talking about fish that can easily top 40 inches and weigh upwards of 50 pounds. These aren't your average inshore fish – they're true bruisers that'll test your tackle and your stamina. Redfish, also known as red drum, are known for their distinctive spot near the tail. But what really sets them apart is their fighting ability. When you hook into a big bull, be prepared for long, powerful runs that'll have you questioning if you've snagged a submarine.

These fish are most active in the fall and early winter when they move into shallower waters to spawn. This is when we typically see the biggest bulls cruising around. They're opportunistic feeders, chowing down on everything from crabs and shrimp to mullet and menhaden. This makes them susceptible to a variety of baits and lures, which keeps things interesting for anglers.

One of the coolest things about targeting bull reds is the visual aspect. In clear, shallow water, you can often spot these fish tailing or creating big wakes as they chase bait. Sight fishing for reds is an adrenaline-pumping experience that'll have you hooked (pun intended) from the first cast. And let's not forget the photo ops – a big bull red makes for one heck of a trophy shot before we carefully release it back to fight another day.
