Fishing near Savannah, GA

Set in Chatham County, Savannah sits where a major tidal estuary meets several blackwater rivers, putting freshwater, brackish, and saltwater fishing within a short drive. Anglers work backwater oxbow bass on the Savannah River, redbreast sunfish on the dam-free Ogeechee River, and inshore redfish and trout in tidal creeks. Georgia's coast holds the most extensive salt marsh in the continental U.S., with tides averaging about 7 feet near the estuary.
