About Your Trip

The 4-6 hr nearshore trip with Capt Ethan includes fishing the open waters of the Gulf of America. The boat ride out to the first spot is usually 15-30 minutes depending on how rough the water is.

There will be no mate on board. Just Capt Ethan and the clients. A cooler with ice and cold waters will be provided. Customers can bring whatever snacks or drinks they would like along on the trip.

Nearshore fishing gives clients a taste of offshore or deep sea fishing, just closer to shore. This is often the right choice if clients are looking to keep fish for dinner. Inshore fishing is always inside the protected areas of the intracoastal waterway. And many of the fish inshore are often catch and release only.

Regardless of your skill level or passion for fishing, Capt Ethan will make this a memorable trip for you and your family/friends. He is extremely patient and willing to help teach people in need of help.

On this nearshore trips clients will be fishing over natural hardbottom structures and artificial reefs, targeting snapper, grouper, cobia, spanish mackerel, flounder, kingfish, seabass, among other nearshore species. They will primarily be using a variety of live and cut bait to target each of these fish.
