Chasing the Fastest Fish in Savannah, Georgia
If you are visiting the Savannah, Georgia, area, an exciting experience for all anglers is to go sailfish fishing in the Gulf Stream, located just 60 miles from shore. While Savannah is not known for its sailfish like other cities on the East Coast, there are still plenty of opportunities to battle the ocean’s fastest and most acrobatic fish.
The best time to target sailfish is during the late summer and early fall months, with June to August being the prime time for fishing. During this time, the water temperatures are perfect for fishing, with a bounty of baitfish like ballyhoo, flying fish and small tuna drawing sailfish into the region.
To get to where the action is, you must hire one of the charters in town. Tightlines Charter has the best captain, Captain Sean, and his 26-foot Twin Vee, powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine. He will get you out to the Gulf Stream in no time, and with the latest in fish finding and navigational electronics, he will put you on these aggressive and fun-to-catch fish.
When fishing for sailfish, most charters will troll with live or rigged bait and teasers, as this is one of the most effective methods because it mimics the sailfish’s natural prey. There is nothing like the feeling you get when one of these heart-pumping fish strikes, leaps in the air, and dances on the water.
Sailfishing is not just for the seasoned anglers. Newbies to fishing will have a blast reeling in one of these quick, hard-hitting fish.
When going out to the Gulf Stream, you will also encounter other trophy fish like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Kingfish and even the occasional Marlin. So book a charter with Tightlines Charters for an unforgettable experience you will be telling your friends and family for your lifetime.
