We'll start by getting you set up with all the gear you need – rods, reels, bait, the works.

Fishing Know-How for Newbies

Inshore fishing is all about finesse and reading the water. We'll show you how to use light tackle to entice our target species, often using live bait or artificial lures that mimic their natural prey. You'll learn the art of the perfect cast, how to detect those subtle bites, and the right way to set the hook when a fish takes the bait. We might do some drift fishing, letting the current carry us over productive areas, or we could anchor up near structure where fish like to hang out. Don't worry about remembering all the details – our crew is there to guide you every step of the way. By the end of the trip, you'll have a solid grasp of the basics and probably be itching to come back for more.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish are the rockstars of inshore fishing around here. These copper-colored beauties are known for their strong fights and that distinctive black spot on their tail. They love hanging around structure and can often be found in shallow water, sometimes with their backs sticking out as they hunt for crabs and small fish. Redfish are active year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up for their spawning run.

Speckled Seatrout, or "specks" as we call 'em, are another favorite target. These spotted predators are quick and fun to catch, often hitting lures with explosive strikes. They've got a soft mouth, so finesse is key when reeling them in. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for trout, but you can find them year-round in the right spots.

Sheepshead might look a little goofy with those human-like teeth, but don't let that fool you – they're smart and can be tricky to catch. These striped fish are masters at stealing bait, so feeling their bite takes some practice. They love structure and are often found around pilings, jetties, and reefs. Winter and early spring are prime sheepshead seasons when they move inshore to spawn.
