On your 4 or 6-hour inshore trip, you'll target the area’s premier species: Redfish (Red Drum), Cobia, and Flounder. Whether you're chasing big
tailing Reds through grassy flats, drifting through scenic back creeks for Flounder, or sight-casting to cruising Cobia along the inshore channels, Captain Preston knows exactly where to go and when to be there.

Every trip is fully customizable to match your group’s goals, skill levels, and interests.
Trips are available morning, afternoon, or evening, giving you the flexibility to fish around your schedule or chase that golden-hour bite. Plus, these charters are run with a commitment to eco-friendly and sustainable fishing practices, including catch and release when appropriate and full adherence to local wildlife regulations.
