Full Day of Inshore Fishing Fun
Ready for a day on the water that'll have you hooked? Our full day inshore fishing trip is just the ticket. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the game, you're in for a treat. We'll spend the day chasing after some of the most sought-after inshore species, using tactics that'll keep you on your toes and fish on your line.
Trip Overview
Picture this: just you and the captain, one-on-one, for a full day of focused fishing action. We're talking about a personalized experience where you'll get to pick the brain of a local expert while targeting the hottest bites of the season. From the moment you step on board, you'll be in for a day of non-stop action, learning, and hopefully, some impressive catches to brag about later.
Tactics and Techniques
We don't just stick to one method here - variety is the spice of life, and fishing! We'll mix it up with bottom fishing, float rigs, and drifting, adjusting our approach based on what the fish are feeling that day. The captain's got all the gear you'll need, so no worries if you're traveling light. Just bring your game face and maybe a snack or two. Oh, and while we've got the artificial stuff covered, if you're keen on live bait, that's an extra you can sort out with the captain.
Customer Stories
"Our entire experience with Inshore Addictz Charters was outstanding from beginning to end. Captain Shennen went above and beyond to ensure every detail was in place for an incredible day on the water. When we arrived at the dock, the boat was fueled, spotless, and fully stocked with live bait—everything ready to go. Captain Shennen was exceptionally friendly and engaging, especially with my 13-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. He took the time to patiently teach them how to bait hooks, cast properly, and better understand the behavior of different fish species. His ability to strike the perfect balance between instruction and encouragement stood out—he knew exactly when to guide them and when to let them learn independently." - Anonymous

Species You'll Want to Hook
Southern Flounder: These flat masters of disguise are a favorite among inshore anglers. With both eyes on one side of their body, they're pros at blending in with the bottom. But don't let their camouflage fool you - they put up a scrappy fight when hooked. Spring and fall are prime times to target these tasty bottom-dwellers, and there's nothing quite like the thrill of spotting one before it spots you.
Black Drum: Known for their distinctive "croaking" sound, Black Drum are the drummers of the inshore scene. These powerhouses can grow to impressive sizes, with some old-timers tipping the scales at over 100 pounds! We usually target the smaller "puppy drum" though - they're better eating and still give you a run for your money. Look for them around oyster beds and structure, where they're often hunting for crabs and shrimp.
Sea Trout: Also known as Spotted Seatrout or Speckled Trout, these guys are a staple of inshore fishing. They're known for their delicate taste and the challenge they present to anglers. Sea Trout are ambush predators, often hanging around grass flats and oyster bars. The "gator" trout (the big ones) are particularly prized catches, and they're most active during the cooler months.
Redfish: The rock stars of inshore fishing, Redfish (or Red Drum) are what many anglers dream about. Known for their copper color and black spot near the tail, these fish can be found in various habitats from shallow flats to deeper channels. The "bull reds" - the big ones over 27 inches - are catch-and-release only in most areas, but they provide an unforgettable battle. Redfish are year-round targets, but fall is often considered prime time when they school up for spawning.
What to Expect on the Water
A day with us isn't just about filling the cooler (though that's always nice). It's about soaking in the whole experience. You'll be picking up tips and tricks from a pro who knows these waters like the back of their hand. We'll chat about reading the water, understanding tides, and maybe even swap a few fish tales. And let's not forget the wildlife - from ospreys diving for their lunch to dolphins cruising by, there's always something to see out here.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
It's not just the fish that keep folks coming back (though they certainly help). It's the personalized attention you get on a one-on-one trip. Got a specific technique you want to work on? We can focus on that. Want to try for a particular species? We'll give it our best shot. And for the newbies, there's no better way to learn than with undivided attention from a seasoned pro. Plus, with a full day, we've got time to really explore and find where the fish are biting best.
Time to Book Your Spot
So, what do you say? Ready to spend a day on the water, chasing some of the most exciting inshore species around? Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, learn some new techniques, or just enjoy a relaxing day of fishing, we've got you covered. Remember, it's just you and the captain, so you're guaranteed a tailored experience. Don't let this chance slip away like a big one off the hook - book your full day trip now and get ready for some serious inshore action!

Chill Day Hot Catch
Had an awesome day on the water with Inshore Addictz Charters. The weather was a bit chilly, but Captain Shennen Holtz knew exactly where to find quality fish. I even had the chance to help with tagging and data collection on a beautiful redfish. I would absolutely head out with them again!

Black Drum
Black Drum are the heavyweight champions of the drum family, often tipping the scales at 30-50 pounds. You'll find them in brackish waters, hanging around oyster beds and mudflats. They make a distinct croaking sound, which is pretty cool to hear underwater. Spring's the prime time to target them as they school up to spawn. These bruisers put up a serious fight, especially on light tackle. They'll test your gear and your arms! Smaller ones (under 15 pounds) taste great, with firm, white meat. For bait, you can't go wrong with fresh crab or shrimp. Here's a local trick: If you're sight-fishing in shallow water, look for their tails sticking up as they root around for food. Cast just ahead of them and hold on tight!
Redfish
Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. They're easy to spot with that trademark black dot near the tail. Most run 20-30 inches, but they can grow over 40 inches in the right conditions. You'll find them tailing in super shallow water, often with their backs exposed. Look for them around oyster bars, grass flats, and mangroves. Fall is prime time as they school up for their spawning run. Reds are known for their powerful runs and dogged fights, especially in shallow water. They're also fantastic eating fish with a mild, sweet flavor. Live bait like mullet or pinfish works great, but artificial lures can be just as effective. Here's a local secret: When sight-fishing, cast well beyond the fish and slowly drag your lure into their path. Too close, and you'll spook 'em!
Southern Flounder
Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending perfectly with sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters. They're typically 15-18 inches long but can reach up to 33 inches. These flat ambush predators lie in wait for smaller fish and crustaceans to swim by. Look for them around estuaries, bays, and river mouths, especially in fall as they move offshore to spawn. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision. Use a slow retrieve with live bait or soft plastics, feeling for that telltale thump when they strike. They're not known for long runs, but their initial burst and head shakes can be exciting. The meat is prized for its delicate, sweet flavor. Pro tip: When you feel a bite, wait a few seconds before setting the hook. Flounder often grab prey sideways first, then turn it to swallow headfirst.
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, also known as Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silvery fish with distinctive spots usually run 14-24 inches, though some monsters can hit 40 pounds. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They're structure-oriented, so look for them around oyster bars, drop-offs, and channel edges. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are just right. Sea Trout are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps, making them a blast on light tackle. They're also excellent table fare, with delicate, flaky white meat. For best results, try using soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork. Local tip: On calm mornings, listen for their characteristic "trout pops" on the surface as they feed - that's your cue to cast!

Our entire experience with Inshore Addictz Charters was outstanding from beginning to end. Captain Shennen went above and beyond to ensure every detail was in place for an incredible day on the water. When we arrived at the dock, the boat was fueled, spotless, and fully stocked with live bait—everything ready to go. Captain Shennen was exceptionally friendly and engaging, especially with my 13-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. He took the time to patiently teach them how to bait hooks, cast properly, and better understand the behavior of different fish species. His ability to strike the perfect balance between instruction and encouragement stood out—he knew exactly when to guide them and when to let them learn independently. Unlike some charters where the captain handles everything, Captain Shennen made sure the kids were involved in every part of the fishing experience. His hands-on, educational approach was perfectly tailored to their age and interests. While fishing always comes with some unpredictability, Captain Shennen’s deep knowledge of the tides, wind patterns, and fish behavior kept us adaptable throughout the day. His expertise paid off—we ended up catching around 20 fish! We chose to release most of them, but kept a few, which Captain Shennen expertly cleaned and filleted for us to enjoy at home. Most importantly, the kids had an unforgettable time. The day was filled with excitement, learning, and plenty of smiles—creating memories we’ll cherish for a long time. If you’re looking for a professional, family-friendly inshore charter experience, I highly recommend Inshore Addictz Charters. Captain Shennen delivers a top-notch, personalized adventure that’s both fun and memorable.
