6-Hour Inshore Fishing: Serious Angler's Dream

Trip Overview

Ready to reel in some serious action? Our 6-hour inshore fishing trip is tailor-made for anglers who mean business. We're talking prime fishing time from 7 AM to 1 PM, giving you a solid chunk of the day to work those honey holes. With room for up to 4 people, it's perfect for a group of buddies or a family looking to bond over bent rods. At $750, you're getting a steal for a half-day of targeted fishing with a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand. No food on board, but trust me, you'll be too busy hauling in fish to worry about snacks.

What to Expect on the Water

Alright, let's break it down. We're hitting the inshore waters, which means we're talking shallow bays, grass flats, and maybe even some docks if the bite is on. Our boat's equipped with all the latest gear – light tackle setups perfect for finessing those wary inshore species. We'll be using a mix of live bait and artificials, depending on what's hot that day. Expect to do some cast-and-retrieve action, maybe some drift fishing, and if conditions are right, we might even set up to sight fish for some tailing reds. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety – one minute you're working a topwater for trout, the next you're feeling the thump of a black drum on the bottom.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and there's a reason folks keep booking with us. It's not just about the fish – though we do put clients on some quality catches. It's about the experience. You're not just a number here; we tailor each trip to what you're after. Want to focus on reds? We'll make it happen. Looking to mix it up with a variety of species? No problem. Plus, with 6 hours on the water, we've got time to really work different spots and techniques. It's like a mini fishing seminar out there, and you'll walk away with new skills and stories to tell.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the inshore world. They're masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. We target them around structure and drop-offs, using soft plastics or live bait. The thrill is in the subtle bite – you've got to stay alert. Fall is prime time for flounder, as they start their migration to deeper waters. A good-sized flounder can push 5 pounds, and let me tell you, they're delicious if you're into keeping a few for the table.

Black Drum: Now here's a fish that'll give you a workout. These bruisers can range from a few pounds to over 50. We find them hanging around pilings, bridges, and oyster beds. They're suckers for crabs and shrimp, so that's what we'll be tossing their way. The fight is more about power than speed – it's like trying to lift a car tire off the bottom. Spring and fall are your best bets for the big ones, but we catch them year-round.

Sea Trout: If you're into finesse fishing, sea trout are your jam. These spotted beauties are ambush predators, so we'll be working grass flats and creek mouths. Topwater lures at dawn can produce some explosive strikes that'll get your heart racing. They're available pretty much all year, but the bigger gator trout show up in cooler months. A 20-incher is a trophy, and they're known for their delicate flavor.

Redfish: Ah, the redfish – the rock stars of inshore fishing. These copper-colored fighters are what dreams are made of. We target them in shallow water, sometimes sight-fishing for tailing reds in the grass. The adrenaline rush of watching a red track down your lure is unbeatable. They pull like freight trains and can grow over 40 inches, though slot-sized fish of 18-27 inches are more common. Fall is the peak season when big schools of bull reds show up, but we catch them year-round.

Top Catches This Season

Let me tell you, the fishing's been on fire lately. We've been smashing the reds on gold spoons around the oyster bars, and the trout bite has been insane on DOA shrimp under a popping cork. Last week, we had a guy land a 7-pound flounder – a real doormat that had the whole boat hollering. The drum have been showing up in good numbers too, especially around the bridge pilings. It's shaping up to be one of those seasons where everything's clicking, so now's the time to get out there.

Time to Book Your Spot

Listen, if you're serious about putting some bend in your rod and some fish in the cooler, this 6-hour trip is your ticket. We've got the knowledge, we've got the spots, and we've got the dedication to make sure you have a day on the water you won't forget. Whether you're a seasoned pro or looking to step up your inshore game, we've got you covered. The fish are out there, and they're not going to catch themselves. So what are you waiting for? Grab your buddies, clear your schedule, and let's make some fishing memories. Book now, and I'll see you at the dock at dawn. Trust me, your only regret will be not doing it sooner.

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black Drum are bottom-feeders you'll find around oyster beds, mudflats, and pier pilings in our inshore waters. They range from 5 to 30 pounds, but the sweet spot for eating is under 15 pounds - bigger ones get tough. Spring's the best time to target them, when they school up to spawn. Black Drum put up a good fight and make that distinctive croaking sound that gives them their name. They're not picky eaters, so fresh crab or shrimp on the bottom usually does the trick. Here's a tip: if you're sight-fishing, look for their tall dorsal fin sticking out of the water as they root around in shallow areas. Cast ahead of them and let your bait sit - they'll find it.

Redfish

Redfish, or Red Drum, are a prized inshore catch. They love shallow water, often in just 1 to 4 feet deep. Look for them around oyster reefs, seagrass, and mud flats. They typically run 28 to 33 inches when mature, but can grow much larger. Fall is prime time as they school up. Redfish are known for their strong runs and hard-fighting spirit. They're also excellent table fare with a light, sweet flavor. Sight-fishing for tailing reds in the shallows is a favorite tactic. Use topwater lures for exciting strikes or try live bait on the bottom. Here's a local tip: watch for their copper-colored backs and spot-on tails exposed above the water as they feed in super shallow areas.

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite inshore species. They typically run 14 to 24 inches and put up a lively fight on light tackle. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They're most active in cooler months when the water temperature drops. Anglers love Sea Trout for their aggressive strikes and tasty, mild flesh. They're not too picky, hitting both live bait and artificial lures. Try working a topwater plug early in the morning for some exciting surface action. One local trick: on calm days, look for subtle V-shaped wakes in shallow water - that's often a cruising trout. Cast ahead of the wake and you might just hook up.

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are ambush predators, lying flat on the bottom waiting to strike. They're usually 15-18 inches long but can reach 33 inches. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries, often camouflaged in sandy or muddy bottoms. Fall is prime time as they move offshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, mild-flavored meat and the challenge of hooking them. They're not known for a hard fight, but landing one takes skill. Use a slow retrieve with live bait or soft plastics, keeping your lure right on the bottom. My local trick? When you feel a bite, don't set the hook right away. Give the flounder time to turn the bait in its mouth, then reel steadily to set the hook.
