4-Hour Inshore Fishing: Bay Bonanza

Ready to wet a line and reel in some local favorites? Hop aboard our 24ft Pathfinder for a 4-hour inshore fishing trip that'll have you hooked from the start. We're talking calm waters, plenty of action, and the chance to land everything from redfish to speckled trout. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip's got something for everyone. So grab your hat and let's hit the bay!

What's the Scoop?

Picture this: You're cruising through protected inshore waters, rod in hand, with prime fishing spots all around. Our 24-footer gives us the perfect platform to access those honey holes where the fish are biting. We'll be targeting a mix of species that call these waters home, giving you a taste of what inshore fishing is all about. With room for up to 6 anglers, it's ideal for families, friends, or even a solo trip if you want to hog all the action. The beauty of inshore fishing? It's always changing, so every trip brings a new adventure.

Rigging Up for Success

We'll be using light to medium tackle, perfect for the inshore species we're after. Expect to do some casting, maybe some drift fishing, and we might even set up on a spot and let the bait do the work. Live bait? Artificial lures? We've got you covered with what's working best that day. You'll learn how to work a popping cork for trout, or maybe we'll show you the finesse of sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll walk you through every cast and retrieve until you're fishing like a pro.

We've had families bond over their first catches, friends engage in friendly competition, and solo anglers find their zen on the water. Your story could be next!

Bay Bounty: What's Biting?

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are a fan favorite. Known for their distinctive spot near the tail, redfish can give you a real run for your money. They love to hang around structure and grass flats, often revealing their location with a telltale "tail" sticking out of the water as they feed. Fall is prime time for reds, but we catch 'em year-round. Nothing beats the pull of a big red on light tackle!

Speckled Trout: Also called spotted seatrout, these guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing. They're known for their speckled pattern and delicate mouth, which makes for an exciting and challenging catch. Trout love to hit topwater lures at dawn and dusk, creating explosive strikes that'll get your heart racing. They're around all year but really fire up in the warmer months.

Flounder: These flat ambush predators might not look like much, but they're a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table. Flounder like to hang out on sandy or muddy bottoms, often near structure. They're masters of camouflage, so spotting them can be tricky. Fall is the best time to target these tasty flatfish as they move to deeper waters.

Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes and human-like teeth, sheepshead are as fun to catch as they are to look at. These structure-loving fish are notorious bait stealers, making them a true test of an angler's skills. Winter and early spring are prime times to target sheepshead around pilings, jetties, and oyster beds.
