About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Rudy for an unforgettable day of inshore action in Apalachicola, Florida!

A third-generation native guide and seasoned captain since 2013, Captain Rudy brings deep local knowledge, a sharp sense of humor, and a genuine love for fishing to every trip. Whether you're chasing your first Redfish or you're a seasoned angler aiming for a personal best, Rudy knows just where to take you in the pristine waters of Apalachicola Bay and around St. George Island.

On this trip, you'll be targeting prized inshore species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, and the elusive Tripletail. Depending on the time of year and conditions, you might also spot other inshore favorites while cruising these nutrient-rich flats and estuaries.

Your adventure begins at Battery Park (also known locally as “10 ft Hole”), where you'll meet up with Captain Rudy. First up: catching fresh bait with a cast net to gear up for the day ahead. Then it's off to his handpicked honey holes—spots he’s been fishing for decades with a level of precision only a local like Rudy can deliver.

You’ll be fishing aboard his 24’ Kenner bay boat, powered by a beastly 300 HP Evinrude engine. This setup offers a smooth, stable ride across the bay and is perfectly suited for navigating shallow flats and nearshore areas alike.

Captain Rudy provides everything you need for a successful day on the water, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses. He’s also more than happy to tailor each trip to your group’s needs—whether you're looking for serious fishing or a more relaxed cruise under the sunset.

From beginners learning to cast, to pros perfecting their technique, Captain Rudy’s got you covered. Come for the fish, stay for the stories, and leave with memories that’ll last long after you’ve cleaned your catch.
