Explore Florida’s Choctawhatchee Bay and nearby Emerald Coast for some of the best inshore fishing around with Rising Son Expeditions and Captain Trey Senterfitt! He’s a local pro who works hard to earn your trust and business and enjoys building friendships with returning clients. Whether you’re a family with children or a group of fishing buddies looking for a productive day out, Rising Son Expeditions has got you covered.

Hop aboard a 22’ Tran Sport Boats catamaran, powered by a single Suzuki 200 HP outboard. She’s equipped with a spot lock trolling motor, top-notch electronic fish finding equipment, 2 10’ power poles, and a trusted arsenal of artificial lures and cast nets for catching live bait. This is the ideal vessel for 6 anglers who all want to fish at the same time.

There are a ton of legendary Florida inshore fish to go after, including a healthy supply of Redfish, Black Drum, and Trout year-round. In the winter and early spring, you’ll hook into a ton of delicious Flounder and Sheepshead too! Choose to explore the nearby Choctawhatchee River instead and there’s plenty of Bass and Trout to stock that cooler with.

Hooking your targets is made easy with gear provided by Capt. Trey. Onboard, there are Daiwa reels with rods and tackle to match, and for targeting those larger game fish, he’s also got several heavy-duty Penn Reels. If you run out of bait, stop by one of the many legal bait traps Capt. Trey has in the Bay and stock up!

There’s no need to pick up a fishing license if you’re doing saltwater fishing but if you plan on exploring the River you will need to get a freshwater license. Returning customers should also get in touch with Capt. Trey to inquire about special discounts!

Pack your drinks, snacks, and sun protection and get ready for an epic day of fishing in Santa Rosa Beach with Rising Son Expeditions!

Took my son and grandson for their first ocean fishing trip. Since my grandson is 11, we opted for the 2 hour trip. Fishing however isn’t an exact science and we only caught 2 blue crab (unintentionally) and two ocean catfish. Besides that we got to enjoy a boat ride and Captain Trey was great especially to my grandson. The trip was expensive when you consider the lack of fish but well worth it when you consider the memory.

I appreciate the review, Tony. And am appreciative and thankful to have met each of you. It was a tough morning, for sure. Unfortunately, these kind of outings do happen. And I get understand what you’re saying. We started out swinging for the fences and scaled back to try to catch anything that would bite. After all, kids/beginners trips should be action packed. Rather, our time was filled more with instruction and conversation. I invite you to come back and try again. Capt Trey

Captain James is an amazing guide. We had two 11 year old boys and two dads on the trip. Captain James was the most patient, knowledgeable, and kind person you could ask for. He put us on top of tons of fish where the boys were constantly entertained. Highly recommend and will use again.
