About Your Trip

Get out on the water around Port Canaveral for a flexible inshore and nearshore fishing trip built around steady action and a wide variety of species. These trips stay within about 10 miles of shore, fishing rivers, bridges, backwater canals, and nearshore structure depending on conditions and what’s biting.

Trip options range from 3, 4, and 6 hours, giving you everything from a quick, productive outing to a more dialed-in day chasing bigger fish.

The 3-hour trip is a simple, fast-paced option focused on getting bites early—typically targeting Snook and Redfish. It’s a great way to get on the water, catch a few fish, and be back before the heat sets in.

The 4-hour trips can be tailored either inshore or nearshore. Inshore trips often focus on Black Drum, Snook, and Sheepshead around bridges and canals, while nearshore runs out of Port Canaveral target species like Snapper, Trout, and Kingfish. It’s a solid middle ground with enough time to move around and stay on fish.

The 6-hour trips give you more time to cover water and target larger fish. Inshore, you may spend the day working bridges for trophy-sized Black Drum and Redfish, while nearshore trips open the door to species like Snook, Tarpon, Jacks, Tripletail, and Snapper. These longer trips allow for a more focused approach and better chances at bigger fish.

Fishing techniques include bottom fishing, trolling, and drift fishing, with the approach adjusted throughout the trip to match conditions.

All gear is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures, along with your fishing license (up to 4 anglers). Cold water is supplied, and your catch will be cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip.

Whether you’re looking for a quick trip or a longer run to chase bigger fish, this is a versatile, action-oriented experience designed to make the most of your time on the water.
