Reel in the Action: 4-Hour Inshore Bonanza
Trip Overview
Get ready to wet a line on this action-packed 4-hour inshore fishing trip! We'll be targeting the hottest bite of the season, adapting our tactics to whatever's running. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the game, our experienced captain will put you on the fish. We provide all the gear you need, so just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a lucky hat. Live bait isn't included, but trust me, we know how to entice the local species without breaking the bank. With a max of two guests, you'll get plenty of personal attention and chances to land the big one.
What to Expect on the Water
We don't just toss a line and hope for the best. Our approach is all about variety and know-how. We'll mix it up with bottom fishing to tempt those structure-loving fish, float rigs for the suspended feeders, and drifting techniques to cover more water. The captain's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, so don't be surprised if we try some unconventional methods to get the fish fired up. The inshore waters can be a goldmine of activity, and we know just how to read the signs and put you where the action is.
Top Catches This Season
Our target species list reads like an inshore all-star lineup. We're talking Southern Flounder, those masters of camouflage that'll test your hook-setting skills. Black Drum, the bulldogs of the shallows, known for their powerful runs. Sea Trout, aka specks, are the acrobats of the bunch, often putting on a tailwalking show. And let's not forget Redfish, the copper-colored bruisers that'll make your drag sing. Each species brings its own challenge and excitement to the table, and we're here to help you tackle them all.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Southern Flounder are the ninjas of the inshore world. These flat ambush predators blend in so well with the bottom, you might not see them until they're on your hook. They're most active during seasonal migrations, usually in spring and fall. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision - a slow, dragging retrieve often does the trick. When you hook one, get ready for some weight. These tasty flatfish can grow up to 20 pounds or more!
Black Drum are the heavyweights of our inshore waters. These cousins of the Redfish can grow to over 100 pounds, though we usually target the "puppy drum" in the 5-30 pound range. They love crustaceans, so crab and shrimp baits are top choices. Black Drum are known for their distinctive "croaking" sound and their strong, determined fights. They're available year-round but really heat up in the spring when they gather to spawn.
Sea Trout, or Speckled Trout, are the light tackle champions of the inshore scene. These spotted beauties are known for their soft mouths and acrobatic fights. They're most active at dawn and dusk, often feeding in schools around structure or grass flats. A popping cork rig with a live shrimp is hard to beat for specks, but they'll also hit artificial lures with gusto. The "gator" trout (over 5 pounds) are trophies that'll test both your skills and your gear.
Redfish, also known as Red Drum, are the poster child of inshore fishing. These copper-colored battlers are famous for their bulldog-like fights and their distinctive black spot near the tail. Reds can be found in a variety of habitats, from shallow grass flats to deeper channels. They're suckers for live bait, but sight-casting to tailing Redfish in shallow water with artificial lures is an unforgettable experience. Fall is prime time for big "bull" Reds, but they're catchable year-round.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Our 4-hour trips are the sweet spot for inshore fishing. It's long enough to really get into the action, but short enough that you won't be wiped out at the end. Plus, with our flexible approach, every trip is different. One day you might be sight-casting to tailing Redfish in skinny water, the next you could be dropping baits to hungry Flounder around dock pilings. The variety keeps things exciting, and there's always something new to learn. Our captain's local knowledge means you're not just fishing, you're getting an insider's tour of the best spots and techniques.
Time to Book Your Spot
So there you have it, folks - a 4-hour inshore adventure that packs in more action than some full-day trips. Whether you're looking to bend a rod, learn some new techniques, or just enjoy a morning on the water, we've got you covered. Remember, we keep it to just two anglers max, so you'll get plenty of attention and opportunities to land fish. Don't let the big ones get away - grab your spot on the boat today and let's make some fishing memories!

Black Drum
Black Drum are the big bruisers of the inshore world, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. They're easily spotted by their silvery-black color and distinct barbels under their chin. You'll find them in brackish waters, around oyster beds, and in estuaries. These fish are most active in spring during spawning season when they school up. That's when you can hear their famous "drumming" sounds underwater. Black Drum put up a stubborn fight, making them a favorite among anglers looking for a challenge. For the best eating, target smaller Drum under 15 pounds. The bigger ones can be tough and less tasty. Use fresh crab, clams, or shrimp as bait, fishing near the bottom where they feed. Local trick: if you're having trouble finding them, listen for that distinctive drumming sound – it's a dead giveaway to their location.
Redfish
Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. They're easily identified by their reddish color and black spot near the tail. Most keeper reds are in the 18 to 27 inch range, but they can grow much larger, with some bulls topping 40 inches. You'll find these guys in super shallow water, often tailing in just 1 to 4 feet. They love hanging around oyster bars, grass flats, and mangroves. Redfish put up an incredible fight and are known for their powerful runs, making them a favorite target for anglers. Fall is prime time for reds as they school up for spawning. They'll eat just about anything, but love crabs, shrimp, and small fish. For a fun challenge, try sight-fishing for them in clear shallows. Local tip: look for "nervous water" or mud boils – these are signs of redfish rooting around for food on the bottom. Cast ahead of these disturbances for your best shot at hooking up.
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, also known as Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silvery, spotted fish usually run 14 to 24 inches, but can reach up to 40 pounds in rare cases. Look for them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They're most active in spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Sea Trout are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, making them a blast to catch. Plus, their mild, delicate flavor makes them excellent table fare. To hook into some trout, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. Live shrimp or small baitfish work great too. Here's a pro tip: during winter, sea trout form big schools in deeper waters. Try slow-trolling along channel edges to find them. Once you locate a school, you can often catch multiple fish from the same spot.
Southern Flounder
Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending perfectly with sandy or muddy bottoms. These flat, oval-shaped fish typically range from 15 to 18 inches, but can grow up to 33 inches long. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They're ambush predators, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. Fall is prime time for flounder fishing as they move to deeper waters for spawning. Anglers love targeting them for their delicious, mild-flavored meat and the challenge they present. These fish put up a good fight when hooked. To land a flounder, try drifting or still fishing near the bottom. Use live bait like mullet or shrimp, or go with artificial lures that imitate their prey. Here's a local tip: when you feel a bite, wait a few seconds before setting the hook. Flounder often grab prey sideways before swallowing it, so giving them time improves your chances of a solid hookset.
