6-Hour Inshore Fishing Adventure: Hook Your Dream Catch
Get ready for a full day of non-stop inshore fishing action! We're talking about six solid hours on the water, targeting whatever's biting that season. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, this trip is all about putting you on fish and having a blast doing it. We'll mix it up with bottom fishing, float rigs, drifting, and any other tricks we need to get those lines tight. Best part? We've got all the gear covered, so you just need to show up ready to reel 'em in.
What to Expect on the Water
This isn't your average boat ride, folks. We're here to fish, and fish hard. From the moment we push off, we're on the hunt for Southern Flounder, Black Drum, Sea Trout, and Redfish. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety – one minute you might be working a jig along the bottom for flounder, the next you're sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows. We'll adapt our tactics to what's working, keeping things interesting all day long. Just remember, live bait isn't included in the price, but trust me, it's worth grabbing some if you want to up your odds.
Fishing Techniques & Gear
We're not just dropping lines and hoping for the best. This trip is all about using the right technique for the right fish at the right time. We might start off bottom fishing, feeling for that telltale thump of a flounder or drum. Then we'll switch it up, maybe drifting with float rigs for trout. If the reds are running, we'll chase them down and try to entice a bite. I'll walk you through each method, showing you the ropes if you're new, or trading tips if you're an old hand. We provide quality rods, reels, and tackle, all rigged and ready to go. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat.
Top Catches This Season
Inshore fishing is a year-round sport, but each season brings its own stars. In the warmer months, redfish and trout are often the headliners, with flounder picking up as we move into fall. Winter? That's when the big bull reds and black drum really shine. No matter when you book, we'll target what's running hot. And let me tell you, there's nothing like the bend in your rod when a chunky red or a doormat flounder decides to take your bait. These aren't just fish – they're memories in the making.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the inshore world. Masters of camouflage, they lie in wait on the bottom, ambushing prey with lightning-fast strikes. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision. We'll work the sandy bottoms and drop-offs, using soft plastics or live bait to tempt these tasty ambush predators. Fall is prime time for flounder, with big ones moving to deeper water. Landing a doormat (that's a big one in flounder-speak) is a real trophy.
Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – black drum are a blast to catch and great on the dinner table. These cousins of the redfish can grow to monster sizes, but the ones we usually target inshore are in the 5-30 pound range. They love crustaceans, so crab or shrimp baits are the ticket. Black drum are known for their strong, stubborn fights, often hugging the bottom. Winter and early spring are peak seasons, but you can find them year-round.
Sea Trout (Spotted Seatrout): Also known as speckled trout, these are one of the most popular inshore gamefish. They're known for their delicate bite and acrobatic fights. Sea trout are suckers for live shrimp under a popping cork, but they'll also hit artificial lures with gusto. We'll target them around grass flats, oyster beds, and channel edges. The bite can be hot any time of year, but spring and fall often see the biggest specimens.
Redfish: The rock stars of inshore fishing, redfish (or red drum) are prized for their powerful runs and copper-bronze color. We might sight-fish for them in shallow water, watching for their tails waving above the surface as they root for crabs. Or we'll target them around structures like docks and oyster bars. Reds will take a variety of baits, from cut mullet to artificial lures. While you can catch them year-round, fall often brings big schools of bull reds – and that's when the real rodeo starts.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Look, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I still get pumped every time we head out. There's just something about inshore fishing that gets under your skin. Maybe it's the variety – you never know what's gonna hit next. Or the skill involved in reading the water, picking the right bait, making that perfect cast. Could be the rush when a big red strips line off your reel, or the satisfaction of outsmarting a wary trout. Whatever it is, I see it in the faces of my clients, first-timers and old salts alike. This isn't just fishing – it's an addiction, and I'm here to feed it.

Black Drum
Black Drum are the heavyweights of the inshore scene, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds with some monsters topping 90. Look for them around oyster beds, mudflats, and shallow bays where they use those powerful jaws to crush shellfish. Spring's the prime time as they school up to spawn, making that signature croaking sound. Anglers dig Black Drum for their strong runs and tasty meat, especially the smaller ones under 15 pounds. Bigger ones can be tough and gamey. To hook up, use fresh crab or clams on a fish-finder rig. Keep it on the bottom and be ready for a thump. These guys aren't picky eaters, but they can be stubborn. Here's a local trick: chum with crushed oyster shells to get them fired up. Just remember, one over 24 inches is plenty – let the big breeders go.
Redfish
Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. These copper-colored bruisers, known for the distinctive spot near their tail, typically range from 20-40 inches. You'll find them in super shallow water – sometimes with their backs out of the water – cruising flats, oyster bars, and marsh edges. They're year-round targets, but fall's especially good as they school up. Anglers love reds for their powerful runs and their "tailing" behavior in shallow water. To catch one, try sight-fishing with gold spoons or soft plastics. If it's murky, use live or cut bait on the bottom. Here's a local secret: on hot days, look for reds hanging in deeper holes or channels near the flats. They'll move shallow to feed when it cools off. Remember, bigger isn't always better with reds – the slot-sized fish are best for eating.
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are inshore favorites. These silvery, spotted fish usually run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight on light tackle. You'll find them in grassy flats, around oyster bars, and near creek mouths, especially at night. They love cooler weather, so fall and winter are prime. Trout are ambush predators, so look for them where currents create feeding zones. Anglers prize sea trout for their aggressive strikes and excellent table fare. To catch 'em, try live shrimp under a popping cork or work a soft plastic jig slowly along the bottom. Here's a tip: on calm mornings, watch for subtle surface disturbances – that's often trout feeding on bait. Cast beyond the ripples and work your lure through the zone. These fish have soft mouths, so set the hook gently and keep steady pressure during the fight.
Southern Flounder
Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending into sandy or muddy bottoms with both eyes on their left side. Typically 15-18 inches long, these flat ambush predators lurk in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They're most active in fall as they move offshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicious white meat and the challenge of detecting their subtle bites. To land one, try drifting or still fishing with live bait like mullet or shrimp. Keep your line tight and be patient – flounder often mouth the bait before committing. When you feel weight, give it a second before setting the hook. These fish put up a decent fight and make for some of the best eating around. Pro tip: Work your bait slowly along drop-offs and creek mouths where flounder wait to ambush prey.
