What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard with Inshore Addictz Charters, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise out to the prime fishing spots, keeping an eye out for signs of activity. Our experienced captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you can bet we'll be putting you right where the fish are. We'll mix it up with bottom fishing, float rigs, and drifting techniques to maximize your chances of hooking into something special. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety - one minute you might be battling a hard-pulling redfish, the next you could be finessing a speckled trout. Just remember, while we provide all the tackle, if you want to sweeten the deal with some live bait, that's on you - but trust us, it can make all the difference.

Techniques That Land Fish

On this trip, we're not just casting and hoping. We're using proven techniques that put fish in the boat. Bottom fishing is our go-to for species like black drum and flounder. We'll set you up with a rig that gets your bait right in the strike zone, often using a Carolina rig or a simple fish-finder setup. When we're after sea trout or redfish, we might switch to float rigs, allowing us to cover more water and present baits at the perfect depth. And don't be surprised if we spend some time drifting - it's a killer method for covering ground and finding where the fish are holding. Our captain will be right there, coaching you on the finer points of each technique. Before you know it, you'll be working those lures like a pro.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the inshore world. Masters of camouflage, they blend in perfectly with the sandy bottom. But don't let their sneaky nature fool you - they put up a solid fight when hooked. We typically target flounder in the warmer months, using slow-moving baits along the bottom. Anglers love catching these for their delicious, flaky white meat. The thrill of sight-fishing for a flounder and watching it ambush your bait is hard to beat.

Black Drum: If you're after a fish with some serious pulling power, black drum are your target. These cousins of the redfish can grow to impressive sizes, with some real bruisers lurking in the inshore waters. They're bottom feeders with a sweet tooth for crustaceans, so we'll often use crab or shrimp to entice them. Black drum are available year-round, but the bite really heats up in the spring and fall. Landing a big black drum is a true test of your angling skills - they'll make your drag sing!

Sea Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout or specks, these fish are a favorite among light tackle enthusiasts. They're known for their beautiful spotted pattern and their tendency to hit lures with explosive strikes. Sea trout are most active in the cooler months, but can be caught year-round with the right approach. We often target them around grass flats, oyster bars, and channel edges. The best part? They often travel in schools, so when you find one, you've likely found many.

Redfish: No inshore trip is complete without targeting the iconic redfish. These copper-colored beauties are known for their hard fights and distinctive spot near the tail. Redfish, or red drum, can be found in various habitats from shallow flats to deeper channels. They're opportunistic feeders, which means we can catch them on a variety of baits and lures. The sight of a tailing redfish in shallow water is enough to get any angler's heart racing. And when they're on the feed, the action can be non-stop.

Black Drum

Black Drum are the powerhouses of inshore fishing. These bruisers can weigh anywhere from 5 to 30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. You'll find them in brackish waters, estuaries, and around oyster beds. Spring is the hot season when they school up to spawn, making them easier to target. Drum are famous for the croaking sounds they make, which you can sometimes hear underwater. Anglers love the challenge of hooking into one of these strong fighters. For the best eating, stick to smaller fish under 15 pounds - the bigger ones can get tough. When fishing for Black Drum, use heavy tackle and try crab or shrimp for bait. Here's a pro tip: fish the bottom with a Carolina rig and listen closely. If you hear that distinctive drumming sound, you know you're in the right spot.

Redfish

Redfish, also known as Red Drum, are the bulldogs of inshore fishing. These copper-colored bruisers usually run 28 to 33 inches but can grow much larger. Look for them in shallow water, often just 1 to 4 feet deep, around oyster reefs, grass flats, and even in water so shallow their backs are exposed. They're known for their distinctive black spot near the tail. Redfish put up a fantastic fight and make excellent table fare with their mild, sweet flavor. Fall is prime time as they school up for spawning. To catch them, try sight-fishing in clear shallows or working topwater lures early morning. Here's a local secret: on hot days, look for "tailing" redfish in flooded grass flats during high tide. Their tails will stick up out of the water as they root for crabs and shrimp. It's an exciting way to target these powerful fish.

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silvery, spotted fish typically run 14 to 24 inches long, with some trophy fish pushing 40 pounds. You'll find them in coastal waters, often around grass flats and shallow areas. They're most active at night, especially during warmer months. Sea Trout put up a good fight and are known for their delicate, mild-flavored meat. Fall and winter are prime seasons as the fish school up in deeper channels. To catch them, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. Here's a local tip: on calm mornings, look for subtle surface disturbances. That's often Sea Trout feeding on bait fish. Cast beyond the ripples and work your lure through the area for some exciting topwater action.

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, lying flat on the bottom waiting to ambush prey. They typically grow 15-18 inches long, but can reach up to 33 inches. You'll find them in coastal waters, bays, and estuaries, usually on sandy or muddy bottoms. Fall is prime time for catching these flatfish as they move offshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting them for their delicious, mild-flavored meat. To land one, try drifting or still fishing near the bottom using live bait like mullet or shrimp. A local trick: when you feel a bite, wait a few seconds before setting the hook. Flounder often grab prey sideways before turning it to swallow. That pause gives them time to get the bait fully in their mouth, improving your hook-up rate. It's a subtle technique, but it can make a big difference in your catch.
