4-Hour Inshore Fishing: Reel in the Action

Get ready to hit the water for some serious inshore action! This half-day trip is perfect for anglers looking to make the most of their time on the boat. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, our experienced crew will put you on the fish and show you the ropes of inshore fishing. With a focus on whatever's biting, you'll have the chance to land some of the most sought-after inshore species around.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we push off, it's all about finding the hotspots. We'll be targeting the inshore species that are most active during your trip, adapting our tactics to match the conditions. You might find yourself bottom fishing near structure, working float rigs in the shallows, or drifting along promising stretches. The beauty of inshore fishing is its versatility - we've got tricks up our sleeves for every situation. All the gear you need is provided, so you can focus on the fishing. Just remember, if you want to up your odds with live bait, that's not included in the price, but it's often worth the extra investment.

Techniques That Hook 'Em

Inshore fishing is all about finesse and knowing the water. We'll likely start by reading the conditions - looking for signs of bait, bird activity, or current lines that often hold fish. Bottom fishing is a go-to technique, especially for species like black drum that love hanging near structure. We'll show you how to work a float rig, which is killer for sea trout when they're suspended in the water column. Drifting can be magic for covering water and finding where the fish are holding. And don't be surprised if we bust out some sight fishing tactics if conditions are right - there's nothing quite like watching a redfish crush your bait in shallow water. Throughout the trip, we'll adjust our approach based on what's working, ensuring you're always in the game.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Southern Flounder: These masters of camouflage are a favorite target for good reason. They're not just fun to catch; they're delicious too. Flounder like to hang out on sandy or muddy bottoms, often near structure. We'll teach you the subtle art of detecting their light bite - it's all about feeling that soft 'thump' before they move off with your bait. Spring and fall are prime times for flounder, with many anglers considering the fall run the best shot at a doormat.

Black Drum: Don't let their cousin, the redfish, steal all the glory. Black drum are hard-fighting and can grow to impressive sizes. They love hanging around oyster beds and other structure, using their sensitive barbels to root out crabs and other crustaceans. We often target them with natural baits on the bottom. The bigger ones, known as "big uglies," can tip the scales at over 50 pounds and give you a serious workout.

Sea Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout, these fish are a staple of inshore fishing. They're known for their speckled pattern and their willingness to hit artificial lures, making them a blast on light tackle. Sea trout often school up, so when you find one, you've likely found many. Early morning and late evening can be magic for trout fishing, especially around grass flats or deeper holes in estuaries.

Redfish: The rock stars of inshore fishing, redfish (or red drum) are prized for their strong fights and their distinctive spot near the tail. We target these bruisers year-round, but fall can be particularly exciting when the big bulls move into shallower waters. Sight fishing for reds in clear, shallow water is an adrenaline-pumping experience that keeps anglers coming back year after year. Their powerful runs and dogged determination make landing a quality red a true achievement.

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black Drum are the heavyweights of the inshore scene, often tipping the scales at 30 pounds or more. You'll find these bruisers hanging around oyster beds, mudflats, and pier pilings in brackish waters. They're not the prettiest fish, with their whisker-like barbels, but they sure put up a fight. Spring's the best time to target them, when they school up for spawning. Black Drum are known for their powerful, drum-like sounds – you might even hear them before you see them. They've got a sweet tooth for crustaceans, so fresh crab or shrimp is your best bet. Just remember, the bigger ones can be tough and not great eating, so consider releasing those over 15 pounds. For the best action, fish near the bottom with a simple Carolina rig. When you feel that telltale thump, give 'em a second before setting the hook.

Redfish

Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. With their distinctive spot near the tail and coppery color, they're a sight to behold. You'll find them in super shallow water, often with their backs out of the water, hunting for crabs and small fish. They typically run 28 to 33 inches, but can grow much larger. Reds love structure, so target oyster bars, dock pilings, and grass flats. Fall is prime time when they school up in big numbers. Anglers love 'em for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. To hook one, try sight-casting with a gold spoon or soft plastic on a jighead. Here's a pro tip: when you spot a tailing redfish, cast well beyond it and slowly retrieve your lure into its field of vision. The strike can be explosive!

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silvery, spotted beauties usually run 14 to 24 inches, with some monsters pushing 40 pounds. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They're suckers for live shrimp or small baitfish, but artificial lures like jerk baits and topwater plugs can be deadly too. Sea Trout are known for their soft, delicate meat, making them a prized catch for the dinner table. They're most active in spring and fall when water temps are mild. One local trick: try drifting grass flats with a popping cork rig. The noise attracts trout from a distance, and the suspended bait seals the deal. Just remember, these fish have soft mouths, so set the hook gently to avoid tearing out.

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending seamlessly into sandy or muddy bottoms. These flat fish typically range from 15 to 18 inches, but can grow up to a hefty 20 pounds. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They're ambush predators, lying in wait for smaller fish and crustaceans to swim by. Fall is prime time for flounder fishing, as they move to deeper waters for spawning. Anglers love targeting them for their delicious, mild white meat. They can be tricky to hook, so patience is key. When you feel a bite, resist the urge to set the hook right away. Give the flounder a few seconds to fully take the bait, then reel in steadily. Using live bait like mullet or shrimp on a Carolina rig is a solid bet for enticing these bottom-dwellers.
