Savannah fishing report for the week of October 22, 2026. Fall remains prime season in coastal Georgia, with big tides, active bait and redfish in the creeks.
What’s Hitting
Redfish are in the tidal creeks and oyster bars, speckled trout are at the docks and grass edges, and flounder are staging near the jetties and sounds. Black drum and sheepshead are around docks and bridges, and whiting are in the surf.
Looking ahead, the creek redfish bite should stay strong, and flounder will build near the jetties as the water cools.
Where to Find Them
Fish the creeks around Tybee Island and Wassaw Sound on a falling tide for redfish, and work the docks for trout and sheepshead. The jetties near Tybee hold flounder.
Tides & Conditions
With the moon building toward full, Georgia’s already large tides are getting bigger. The falling tide in the creeks is best. Check a current tide chart and wind forecast.
Tackle & Tactics
Live shrimp under a cork, a paddle-tail jig, and a mud minnow on a Carolina rig. Use medium spinning gear with 15 pound braid.
In the creeks, watch for bait and birds and be ready to cast when you see a push.
Local Intel This Week
Public access includes Lazaretto Creek, Bull River and Tybee Island Pier. Check current Georgia regulations and seasons before keeping any fish, as redfish and trout limits are specific.
This Week’s Tip
Mind the big tides. Watch for mud flats and plan your route back.
