About Your Trip

Get out on the water with Captain Richard for a flexible inshore and nearshore fishing trip targeting a variety of popular Gulf Coast species. These trips are available in both 3-hour and 4-hour formats, making them a great option for families, beginners, or anglers looking to spend a shorter day on the water while still getting into quality fishing opportunities.

Fishing takes place both inshore and nearshore depending on conditions and where the bite is best that day. Nearshore trips may run up to roughly 9 miles offshore to fish reefs, wrecks, and productive structure, while inshore portions of the trip focus on bays, channels, passes, and surrounding coastal waters.

Depending on the season and conditions, potential catches include Snapper, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and other local species. Fishing styles may vary throughout the trip and can include light tackle fishing, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and drift fishing depending on the target species and water conditions.

You’ll fish aboard a 22’ Everglades center console equipped with GPS and fishfinder electronics and capable of comfortably accommodating up to 6 anglers.

All rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and fishing licenses are included with the trip, so you can simply show up ready to fish. At the end of the day, your catch will be cleaned and filleted for you to take home.

Whether you’re hoping to catch dinner, introduce the family to Gulf fishing, or spend a few relaxing hours on the water, Captain Richard focuses on creating an enjoyable and approachable fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels.
