**3-Hour Inshore Fishing Trip Along 30A in Choctawhatchee Bay with Pharmasea Outfitters**

Embark on an unforgettable 3-hour inshore fishing adventure along the stunning 30A corridor in Choctawhatchee Bay with Pharmasea Outfitters.

**Fishing Location:**
Your journey begins at the charming coastal town of Santa Rosa Beach, where the tranquil waters of Choctawhatchee Bay meet the Gulf of Mexico. As you glide through the bay, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of lush coastal landscapes, sandy shorelines, and the iconic dunes that define this beautiful region.

**Types of Fish:**
During your trip, you can expect to target a range of exciting species that inhabit the bay. Common catches include:

- **Redfish (Red Drum):** Known for their strong fight and delicious flavor, redfish are a popular target in the bay. You’ll have the chance to catch both slot-sized and trophy-sized reds as they cruise the shallow waters.

- **Speckled Trout:** These beautiful fish are abundant in Choctawhatchee Bay and are known for their distinctive spots. They are a favorite among anglers for their tasty fillets and can often be found near grass beds and structure.

- **Flounder:** With their unique flat bodies, flounder are a fun catch that often hide in sandy bottoms. Anglers enjoy the challenge of targeting these elusive fish, especially during the fall migration.

- **Sheepshead:** Recognizable by their black and white stripes, sheepshead are known for their strong jaws and are often found around structures like docks and piers. They provide a thrilling catch and are a culinary delight.

- **Pompano:** These fast-swimming fish are prized for their delicious taste and are often found in the surf and nearshore waters. Their acrobatic leaps make them a thrilling catch.

As you cast your lines and enjoy the serene surroundings, your experienced guide from Pharmasea Outfitters will share valuable tips and techniques to enhance your fishing experience. Whether you’re looking to reel in a trophy fish or simply enjoy a relaxing day on the water, this inshore fishing trip promises to be a memorable adventure in one of Florida's most beautiful coastal regions.

How did you get started guiding?
Began fishing all over the coast with a variety of guides. Started offshore fishing with a kayak, got a fancy Jon boat, learned to fish the bay more, then decided to take the leap and bought a Pathfinder and started part time before I realized it was my true passion. Quit being a pharmacist full time to pursue guiding full time.

Brandon was the perfect guide with our crew of kids (ages 9-13). Brandon and Chris were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They kept everyone engaged and entertained for our 2 hour trip, which can be tricky with kids. Big plus that he is Purdue guy too!
