About
An inshore trip will provide the smoothest waters and the most scenery. Fishing in creeks, canals, and around bridges and docks, we will target numerous species including mangrove snapper, snook, black drum, sheepshead, and redfish. During these trips there will be no shortage of dolphins, turtles, manatees, and pelicans for your viewing pleasure. Nearshore trips will take us out to the ocean, fishing around the jetty and along the beaches. Here we will target tarpon, black drum, mangos, tripletail, redfish, weakfish, and snook. Please indicate your preference when booking!
