Quick 2-Hour Inshore Adventure: Reel in the Action!

Hey there, anglers! Looking for a fast-paced fishing fix? You've found it with our 2-hour inshore trip. We'll zip out to the jetties where the action's hot and the fish are biting. Perfect for squeezing some rod-bending fun into a busy schedule or getting the kids hooked on fishing without overwhelming them. Grab your hat and let's hit the water!

What's the Deal?

Here's the scoop: we launch at 8 AM sharp, so have your coffee ready. This trip's designed for two, but we can squeeze in more if you've got buddies who want in on the action (just 25 bucks a head). We're talking live bait fishing - shrimp and croakers - right around the jetties where the fish are stacked up. Our guides know every nook and cranny where the big ones hide, so you're in for some serious catching, not just fishing.

Bait, Boat, and Hotspots

We keep it simple but effective. Live shrimp and croakers are like ringing the dinner bell for inshore species. We'll set you up with light tackle that's perfect for feeling every nibble and fighting those jetty monsters. The boat's rigged for easy casting around structure, and we'll hop from spot to spot to keep the rods bent. Expect to toss baits right up against the rocks - that's where the predators lurk, waiting to ambush their next meal.

Fish on the Menu

Alright, let's talk targets. Redfish are the rockstars of our inshore waters. These copper-colored bulldogs put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They love to cruise the jetties, looking for crabs and baitfish to snack on. Spring and fall are prime time, but you can hook into them year-round.

Crevalle Jack, or "jacks" as we call 'em, are like the muscle cars of the sea. These guys hit hard and run fast. They school up around the jetties, especially in the warmer months. When a jack grabs your bait, hold on tight - it's gonna be a wild ride!

Tripletail are the oddballs of the inshore scene. These funky-looking fish hang out near floating debris, looking like leaves in the water. They're ambush predators with a soft mouth, so finesse is key. Late spring through summer is your best bet for these tasty fighters.

Bluefish are the piranhas of the coast. These toothy critters travel in schools and will tear through your bait like it's going out of style. They're fast, aggressive, and a blast to catch on light tackle. Look for them when the water starts to warm up in spring.

Last but not least, we've got snook. These line-sided lazers are prized for their acrobatics and table fare. They love structure, so the jetties are prime real estate. Snook fishing heats up in the summer, but you can find them year-round if you know where to look.

Time to Get Hooked

Listen, I know two hours might not sound like much, but trust me, it's plenty of time to get your fish fix. We've packed this trip with non-stop action, expert guidance, and some of the best inshore fishing you'll find anywhere. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, you're gonna have a blast. So what are you waiting for? Give us a ring at 321-212-9020 and let's get you on the water. The fish are waiting, and the bite is on!

Learn more about the species

Bluefish

Bluefish are like furious torpedoes with teeth. Most run 2-5 pounds, but 15-pounders aren't unheard of. These guys are migratory, showing up in our waters from spring to fall. Look for them churning up bait schools near jetties, inlets, and along the beaches. Blues are pure aggression - they'll attack just about any lure you throw. Expect fast runs and aerobatic jumps when you hook one. They're not everyone's favorite for eating, but smaller ones are tasty when prepared right. Watch those teeth when unhooking them! Pro tip: use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs, and try fast-retrieving metal lures to trigger their predatory instincts.

Crevalle Jack

Crevalle Jacks are bulldogs of the sea - thick-bodied and always ready for a brawl. Most run 3-5 pounds, but the big boys can hit 60! Look for them in both inshore and offshore waters, from seagrass beds to deep reefs. These guys are suckers for fast-moving lures, so get ready for some arm-burning action. Spring and fall are great times to find schools busting bait on the surface. Jacks aren't known for table fare, but they more than make up for it with their fierce fights. Keep an eye out for diving birds - that's often a dead giveaway for a jack feeding frenzy. Throw a silver spoon or topwater plug into the mayhem and hold on tight!

Redfish

Redfish are a real treat to catch around here. These copper-colored beauties typically run 18-30 inches and put up a strong fight. You'll find them cruising the shallows - we're talking 1-4 feet of water near oyster beds and grassy flats. They love hanging around structure, so we'll target docks, jetties, and mangroves. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Redfish are popular for their powerful runs and delicious meat. The trademark black spot near their tail helps them fool predators, but it won't fool us! Here's a pro tip: on sunny days, look for their tails sticking up as they root around for crabs and shrimp in the shallows. Cast ahead of them and you're in for some fun.

Snook

Snook are the rockstars of our inshore waters. These sleek predators usually range from 5-15 pounds, with some monsters pushing 30+. You'll find them lurking around mangroves, docks, and bridge pilings, especially during warmer months. Snook are ambush feeders, so working lures tight to structure is key. They're famous for their gill-rattling strikes and powerful runs. The fight is only half the fun - snook are also excellent eating when in season. Target them on incoming tides, particularly at night or early morning. Here's an insider tip: use live mullet or pinfish around dock lights after dark. The bite can be explosive!

Tripletail

Tripletail are odd-looking but delicious fish that'll keep you on your toes. They typically run 2-15 pounds and have a knack for disguise, often floating sideways to mimic debris. You'll find them near buoys, crab traps, and floating grass lines, especially in warmer months. Sight fishing for tripletail is a blast - it's all about stealth and accuracy. These guys are prized for their firm, tasty white meat. They put up a scrappy fight too, with some acrobatics thrown in. Here's a local trick: cast past the fish and slowly drag your bait back. Let them think they're ambushing prey and you'll have better luck hooking up.
