6-Hour Fishing Frenzy: Hook Into Action
Looking for a quick fishing fix that packs a punch? King Tide Charters' 6-hour private trip is your ticket to non-stop action without eating up your whole day. We're talking about the perfect mix of excitement and convenience, where you can target some of the most sought-after inshore species and still make it back in time for dinner. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our crew's got your back with all the know-how and gear you need to make every cast count.
What to Expect on the Water
From the moment you step aboard, you're in for a treat. We'll zip out to the hottest fishing spots, where the bite is on and the fish are hungry. You'll be dropping lines for Spanish Mackerel, Spadefish, Cobia, and Red Drum – all crowd-pleasers that'll give you a run for your money. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're always in prime position to hook up. And don't worry if you're new to this – we've got tips and tricks up our sleeves to help everyone land a trophy-worthy catch.
Gear Up for Success
Leave your tackle box at home because we've got you covered with top-of-the-line gear that's perfect for the species we're after. We're talking light to medium action rods paired with smooth-dragging reels that'll help you feel every nibble and fight every run. For the Spanish Mackerel, we might break out some fast-moving spoons or small jigs. When it's Spadefish time, we'll rig up with some clam strips on small hooks. Cobia calls for heavier tackle and live bait, while Red Drum might see us tossing soft plastics or cut bait. Whatever the fish are biting, we've got the setup to make it happen.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Spanish Mackerel are the speedsters of the inshore world. These silver torpedoes can hit lures at blistering speeds, making for some of the most exciting topwater action you'll ever see. They school up in the warmer months, and when you find them, it's often fast and furious fishing. Expect fish in the 2-4 pound range, with some larger ones mixed in to keep you on your toes.
Spadefish might look like oddballs with their disk-like bodies, but don't let that fool you. These striped fighters punch well above their weight class. They hang around structure and can be finicky, but when you get them going, it's a blast. They're not huge – usually 2-5 pounds – but they're stubborn and will use their flat bodies to their advantage in the current.
Cobia are the bruisers of the bunch. These curious fish can grow to over 100 pounds, though most we catch are in the 20-50 pound range. They're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, making them a bucket-list fish for many anglers. Spring and early summer are prime times to target these brutes.
Red Drum, also known as Redfish, are the bread and butter of inshore fishing. These copper-colored beauties are known for their distinctive spot near the tail and their hard-pulling fights. We catch them year-round, but fall is when the big boys come out to play. Expect anything from 5-pound puppies to 40-pound bulls that'll test your drag and your biceps.
