Best Deep Sea Fishing Fishing Spots in Tybee Island
From legendary bays to productive reefs, here are the top deep sea fishing fishing spots your captain will target in the Tybee Island area.
Snapper Banks
The Snapper Banks offshore of Tybee Island are natural live-bottom ledges where red snapper, vermilion snapper, grouper, and amberjack concentrate along the limestone outcroppings that provide the only hard structure on the sandy offshore seafloor. The banks' moderate depth makes them accessible on three-quarter-day trips from Tybee, putting quality reef fishing within reach without requiring a full-day offshore run. The banks consistently produce limits of quality snapper and grouper for Tybee-based charter boats.
B.T. Wreck (Offshore Artificial Reef)
The B.T. Wreck is a documented offshore artificial reef site consisting of a sunken vessel that has become a productive habitat for red snapper, grouper, amberjack, and barracuda in the waters off the Georgia coast. The wreck's vertical profile rises significantly off the bottom, creating structure that attracts fish throughout the water column. Tybee Island charter boats target the B.T. Wreck on full-day offshore trips for its reliable production of quality reef fish.
Gulf Stream Edge (Tybee Run)
The Gulf Stream's western edge passes within 60-70 miles of Tybee Island, and the temperature break along its boundary concentrates mahi-mahi, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, and king mackerel in a defined offshore corridor. The warm blue water of the Gulf Stream contrasts sharply with the cooler inshore green water, creating a visible color change line that marks the most productive fishing zone. Full-day bluewater trips from Tybee target this edge for pelagic species.
SAV Offshore Reef Complex
The Savannah offshore reef complex accessible from Tybee Island includes multiple artificial reef sites deployed with concrete structures, steel debris, and sunken vessels in the deeper waters of the Georgia coast. Red snapper, grouper, amberjack, king mackerel, and cobia hold around the deployed material that has matured into productive marine habitat. The reef complex's multiple sites allow charter boats to spread out fishing pressure and find productive structure on each trip.
