About Your Trip

Like all of our trips, on this one we offer one of the area's only "Catch fish GUARANTEE". Our team of Captains have fished these waters their entire lives and have the confidence to guarantee you will catch fish or your next trip with us will be FREE.

This trip is in the protected waters of the back bays or intracoastal waterway. On the inshore trips we use live bait and artificial bait depending on the conditions and recent trip results. Target species include Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Pompano, Sharks, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Mackerel and a few others depending on the time of year. Every days conditions are different and the Captain will adjust your trip to whatever is the most productive style of fishing. From sight fishing in the clear shallow waters to catching Snapper, Sharks or Grouper in 40ft of water, the local bays offer our clients a diverse fishery.
