Get ready for a full day of non-stop inshore action with Inshore Addictz Charters. Our 6-hour adventure puts you right where the fish are biting, targeting the hottest inshore species of the season. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got everything you need for a killer day on the water. So grab your hat and sunscreen – it's time to reel in some memories.
This isn't your average boat ride. We're talking six solid hours of prime fishing time, where we'll hit all the sweet spots the local fish are loving. We mix it up with bottom fishing, float rigs, and drifting – whatever it takes to get those rods bending. All the gear's on us, so you just need to show up ready to fish. Fair warning: live bait's not included in the price, but trust me, it's worth grabbing some if you want to up your game.
Inshore fishing's all about adapting to what the fish are doing. We might start off drifting with some live shrimp, feeling for that telltale thump of a sea trout. If the bite's slow, we'll switch it up and drop some cut bait to the bottom, tempting those big black drum. Float rigs are money for redfish cruising the shallows – nothing beats watching that cork disappear when a red decides to eat. We've always got a few tricks up our sleeves, so even if Plan A isn't working, Plans B through Z are ready to go.
Our inshore waters are teeming with some real bruisers, and we're dialed in on the best of the best. Let's break down what you might be tangling with:
Southern Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage and pack a tasty punch. They love to hang out on sandy or muddy bottoms, waiting to ambush their prey. Fall's prime time for flounder, when they start moving towards the inlets for their spawning run. Drift fishing with live mullet or soft plastics is the ticket here. When you hook one, get ready for some serious pull – these guys fight way above their weight class.
Black Drum: If you're after a fish that'll make your arms burn, black drum are your huckleberry. These cousins of the redfish can grow to monster sizes, with the big ones topping 50 pounds. They're suckers for crabs and shrimp, so bottom fishing with fresh bait is the way to go. Spring and fall see them schooling up, which can lead to some crazy multiple hookups. Just listen for that distinctive drumming sound they make – it's like nature's own fish finder.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing. They're aggressive feeders and will hit everything from live shrimp to topwater lures. Early mornings and late evenings are prime time, especially around lighted docks or oyster beds. The "gator" trout (the big ones over 20 inches) are like ghosts – tough to find but worth every second of the hunt.
Redfish: The rock stars of the inshore world, redfish (or red drum) are what dreams are made of. They're hard-fighting, great-eating, and when they're tailing in shallow water, it's a sight you'll never forget. We target them year-round, but fall is when things get crazy with the bull reds showing up. Watching a big red crush a topwater lure is about as good as fishing gets. Just hang on tight – these guys don't know when to quit.
Look, I could go on all day about the fish, but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. This 6-hour trip is the real deal – enough time to really get into the groove and put some serious fish in the boat. We've only got room for two anglers, so it's like having your own private guide. Don't sleep on this one – the fish are out there waiting, and we've got your ticket to get to them. Book now and let's make some fishing magic happen.
Black drum are the heavyweights of the drum family, packing a punch at 5-30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. You'll find these bruisers in brackish waters, especially around oyster beds and mudflats. They're not picky eaters, crushing shellfish with powerful teeth. Spring's the hot time for drum fishing when they school up to spawn. Anglers dig 'em for the strong fight and tasty meat, though stick to smaller ones under 15 pounds for the best eating. To hook one, go low and slow with fresh crab or clams on the bottom. Pro tip: listen for their distinctive croaking sound – it's a dead giveaway you're in the right spot. Just remember, these guys can live up to 50 years, so consider catch and release for the big ones to keep the population thriving.

Redfish, or red drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. These copper-colored beauties usually run 28-33 inches, but can grow into 50-pound bulls. Look for them tailing in super shallow water, sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and mud bottoms in 1-4 feet of water. Fall's prime time as they school up, but you can catch 'em year-round. Anglers go nuts for redfish because they're hard fighters and great eating. To hook one, try topwater lures for explosive strikes or jigs that imitate shrimp. Here's a local tip: watch for that distinctive black spot near their tail. It's not just for looks – it fools predators and helps you ID your catch. Remember, redfish are survivors. They can live 40 years, so practice catch and release to keep the fishery strong for years to come.

Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silver-sided fighters usually run 14-24 inches, but can surprise you with catches up to 5 pounds. Look for them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love cooler months, so fall through spring is prime time. Sea trout put up a great fight and make for excellent table fare with their mild, flaky white meat. To land one, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. Work them slowly – sea trout are ambush predators and won't chase far. Here's a local secret: on calm mornings, watch for subtle surface disturbances. That's often sea trout feeding on bait fish. Cast just beyond the ripples and you might hook into a nice one. Remember, they school up in deeper channels during winter, so adjust your tactics when it gets cold.

Southern flounder are masters of camouflage, blending in with sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters. These flat, oval-shaped fish typically range from 15-18 inches, but can grow up to 33 inches. You'll find them in bays, estuaries, and along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Fall is prime time for flounder fishing as they move to deeper waters to spawn. Anglers love targeting them for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of spotting them. To land one, try drifting or still fishing near the bottom with live bait like mullet or shrimp. Here's a local trick: when you feel a bite, wait a few seconds before setting the hook. Flounder often grab prey and hold it before fully committing, so patience pays off. Their unique "both-eyes-on-one-side" appearance makes for great photos too.
