For inshore anglers the bays, sounds, and backwaters that surround Seaside are ideal habitat for some of the most sought-after gamefish. These inshore waters provide anglers a unique opportunity to fish everything from bay channels to pristine mangrove shorelines just minutes away from the docks. Seaside inshore trips frequently produce redfish, flounder, speckled trout, and sheepshead, all of which can be caught year-round.
A diverse catch is expected on a trip here unless you want to target a specific trophy fish that's been keeping you up at night.
The seasonal inshore trips come in heat of summer when tarpon invade the bays in search of prey. These fickle eaters can be difficult to fool but when they bite it’s explosive. Tarpon are powerful fish and during a fight take off on a leaping run. Fishing for tarpon in Seaside is incredible. Even more incredible is the opportunity to catch a tarpon on a fly and if you like a challenge this is the trip for you.
If you love catching speckled trout then Seaside in May and June is your opportunity to catch a trophy. To target big bull redfish head out in late summer to early fall during their annual migration. Fishing for specks and reds is productive outside of these seasonal windows as well. If you want to mix it up a bit then book a fly fishing guide and see if you can fool these inshore icons.
Seaside Nearshore Fishing
Much like the inshore waters, the nearshore fishing grounds off of Seaside are home to a variety of fish that can be caught year-round. The warm weather and location on the Northern Gulf Coast mean something is always biting. With plenty of manmade and natural reefs, wrecks, and other bottom structures, you'll be hard pressed to find better fishing for snapper, groupers, cobia, and amberjack.
If you want to fill up the freezer with tasty red snapper and kingfish, Seaside is where you want to be. While snapper are best targeted by dropping bait near deep structure, king mackerel are aggressive predators that feed near the surface and are commonly caught while trolling. Both fish put up a big fight and are sure to spice up your trip.
Seaside Deep Sea Fishing
Not to be outdone by the inshore or nearshore fishing, offshore fishing in Seaside is second to none. With marlin, tuna, wahoo, and more, deep sea fishing this is an exciting place to troll for giants. Marlin and tuna patrol the deep waters of the gulf and grow to incredible sizes. It seems that the wahoo caught out of Seaside are always exceptionally large. Hook up to one of these fierce fish and it’s sure to be an unforgettable trip.
