Top-Rated 4-Hour Inshore Fishing Adventure

Reel in the Fun: 4-Hour Inshore Fishing Adventure

Ready for a laid-back day on the water that's perfect for the whole family? Our 4-hour inshore fishing trip is just the ticket. We'll cruise the calm, protected waters close to shore, giving you plenty of chances to catch some of the area's most popular fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, our experienced captain will put you on the fish and make sure everyone has a blast.

What to Expect on the Water

This trip is all about relaxed fishing in sheltered spots where the big ones like to hang out. We'll hit up some local honey holes known for species like flounder, red drum, and striped bass. The inshore waters are typically calm, making this a great option if you're bringing kids along or just want a chill day of fishing without venturing too far out. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you'll be in prime position to catch fish all day long. We provide all the gear you'll need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle, so all you have to do is show up ready for some fishing action.

Fishing Techniques & Spots

On this trip, we'll use a mix of techniques to target different species. For flounder, we might drift along sandy bottoms, using live bait or soft plastics to entice these flatfish. When going after redfish or stripers, we could be casting lures near structure or using live bait under a popping cork. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety - one minute you might be jigging for trout, the next you could be battling a bull red. We'll hit up productive spots like grass flats, oyster bars, and channel edges where fish tend to congregate. Our captain will give you pointers on technique, so even if you're new to fishing, you'll be reeling them in like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Summer Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. They're ambush predators, lying in wait for small fish and crustaceans to swim by. Flounder fishing is all about patience and a delicate touch - when you feel that distinctive thump on your line, it's game on! They're most active in the warmer months and put up a great fight for their size. Plus, they're delicious if you're looking to bring home dinner.

Striped Bass: Also known as rockfish or stripers, these powerful fish are a favorite among anglers. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some inshore specimens topping 30 pounds or more. Stripers are known for their strong runs and head-shaking fights. They're often found around structure like bridge pilings or rocky areas. The best time to target them is usually in the spring and fall when they're migrating, but our local population provides action year-round.

Sea Trout: Speckled trout, or specks as we call them, are a blast to catch on light tackle. They're known for their soft mouths, so finesse is key when fighting them. These fish have excellent eyesight and are attracted to movement, making them perfect for lure fishing. Dawn and dusk are prime times for trout, and they love to hang around grass flats and oyster beds. The satisfying 'pop' when a trout hits a topwater lure is something every angler should experience.

Redfish: Also called red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a staple of inshore fishing. They're known for their distinctive spot near the tail and their powerful runs when hooked. Redfish love to cruise in shallow water, sometimes with their backs out of the water as they hunt for crabs and small fish. Sight-fishing for reds in clear water is an exciting challenge that'll get your heart pumping. They're around all year, but fall is often the best time to target big ones.
