4-Hour Inshore Fishing: Hook Your Dream Catch

Get ready for an action-packed half-day on the water with Inshore Addictz Charters. This intimate 1-on-1 trip with the Captain puts you right in the heart of prime inshore fishing grounds. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, you'll have a blast targeting the hottest local species using a variety of techniques. With all the gear provided and an expert guide at your side, you're in for some serious rod-bending action.

What's Biting Today?

This 4-hour adventure is all about flexibility and finding the fish. Your captain will dial in on what's running based on the season, conditions, and latest intel from the docks. You might be dropping lines for hefty black drum one minute, then switching gears to chase speckled trout the next. The beauty of inshore fishing is the diversity - each trip brings new challenges and opportunities. Your captain will mix it up with bottom fishing, float rigs, drifting, and any other tactics needed to get those reels singing.

Tactics for Tight Lines

Leave the gear worries at home - your charter provides everything you need to get on the fish. You'll be armed with quality rods, reels, and terminal tackle suited for the day's targets. While live bait isn't included in the base price, your captain can help arrange some if that's the ticket to success. The real magic happens in how you use that gear. Expect to cycle through techniques like working soft plastics along grass lines for redfish, slow-rolling jigs for flounder, or free-lining live shrimp under a popping cork for trout. Your captain will coach you on the finer points, helping dial in your presentation for maximum bites.

The Local Inshore Slam

While every day on the water is different, there are some star players you'll likely encounter during your trip. Let's break down the "big four" that keep anglers coming back for more:

Southern Flounder: These masters of camouflage are prized for both their fight and their fillets. Flounder love to ambush prey from sandy or muddy bottoms near structure. Spring and fall are peak seasons, with many anglers targeting them during their spawning runs. A 2-3 pounder is a solid catch, but trophy "doormats" pushing 5+ pounds aren't unheard of. The key to hooking flounder is a slow, bottom-hugging presentation - feel for that distinctive 'thump' when they grab your bait.

Black Drum: Often overlooked by casual anglers, black drum are hard-fighting brutes that can really test your gear. These cousins of the redfish feed primarily on crustaceans, making them suckers for fresh crab or shrimp baits. While smaller "puppy drum" in the 5-15 pound range are great eating, you might tangle with bruisers topping 30 pounds or more. Look for them around oyster bars, bridge pilings, and other structure. Their sensitive barbels help them root out food, so a bait placed right on the bottom is often the ticket.

Speckled Sea Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout, these popular gamefish are a blast on light tackle. They're ambush predators with an appetite for shrimp, mullet, and other baitfish. Trout fishing heats up in spring and fall, but you can target them year-round in many areas. A 2-3 pound trout is a great catch, with gators pushing 5+ pounds considered trophies. Working topwater lures at dawn and dusk can produce exciting strikes, while soft plastics under a popping cork is a time-tested producer throughout the day.

Redfish: No inshore slam is complete without the iconic red drum. These copper-colored beauties are known for their hard runs and distinctive spot near the tail. Slot-sized reds (typically 18-27 inches) make for great action and excellent table fare. But don't be surprised if you hook into a bull red in the 30-40 inch range - they'll really put your tackle to the test! Redfish are opportunistic feeders, hitting everything from live bait to artificial lures. Look for them cruising shallow flats, tailing in marshes, or hanging around oyster bars and other structure.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about inshore fishing that keeps folks hooked. Maybe it's the variety - you never know what species might grab your line next. Or the accessibility - you don't need to venture miles offshore to find great action. Perhaps it's the skill involved in reading the water, presenting baits just right, and outsmarting wary fish in shallow water. Whatever the draw, this 4-hour trip gives you a perfect taste of what inshore fishing is all about. Your captain's local knowledge means you're fishing the most productive spots, and the one-on-one attention ensures you're making the most of every cast.

Learn more about the species

Redfish

Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. These copper-colored beauties, with their signature tail spot, typically run 28-33 inches but can grow much bigger. You'll find them tailing in super shallow water, often just 1-4 feet deep, around oyster reefs, grass flats, and muddy bottoms. They're year-round targets, but fall is prime time when they school up. Anglers love Redfish for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. They'll hit a variety of lures, from topwater plugs to soft plastics, making them fun for all fishing styles. For a real thrill, try sight-casting to tailing Reds in clear shallows. Pro tip: when you spot a Red, cast your lure well beyond it and slowly retrieve past the fish. These guys spook easily, so a stealthy approach is key. Once hooked, hang on – even smaller Reds pull like freight trains!

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silvery, spotted fish usually run 14 to 24 inches, though some can hit 40 pounds. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. During winter, they school up in deeper waters, sometimes down to 164 feet. Sea Trout are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, making them a blast to catch. They're also prized for their mild, delicate flavor. Best fishing is often in fall and spring as they move between deep and shallow waters. Live shrimp or artificial lures like jerk baits and topwater plugs work well. Here's a local secret: try slow-trolling along grass edges at dawn or dusk for the biggest trout. Just remember, they're soft-mouthed, so set the hook gently to avoid tearing the hook out.

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending into sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters. These flat, oval-shaped fish typically range from 15-18 inches, but can grow up to a hefty 20 pounds. Look for them in estuaries, bays, and rivers, especially near oyster beds or other structures. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as they move between inshore and offshore waters. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of detecting their subtle bites. To improve your chances, try drift fishing with live bait like mullet or shrimp. A local tip: when you feel a bite, resist the urge to set the hook immediately. Give the flounder a few seconds to fully take the bait, then reel steadily to set the hook. These ambush predators put up a surprisingly good fight for their size, making them a fun catch for all skill levels.

Black Drum

Black Drum are the heavyweight champions of the inshore scene, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. You'll find these bruisers hanging around oyster beds, mudflats, and pier pilings in brackish waters and estuaries. They're not picky about depth, showing up in ankle-deep flats or 100-foot channels. Spring's your best bet, as they school up for spawning. Anglers dig Black Drum for their powerful fights and unique "croaking" sound. The smaller ones (under 15 pounds) make great table fare too. When you're after them, think bottom fishing with crab or clams – they love crushing shellfish with those strong teeth. Here's a pro tip: if you're sight-fishing, look for their tall, distinctive tails sticking out of the water as they root around the bottom. Just remember, the big ones can be tough and less tasty, so consider releasing those lunkers to fight another day.
