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!

2 Hour Trip – Kids Special (12PM) on March 21, 2025
Captain Trey made for an amazing experience for several kids. We caught trout and redfish. We also saw an alligator and boated with a pod of dolphins. Captain Trey was constantly assisting with tangles and baiting hooks so that our experience was as smooth as possible and made the most of our allotted time. Could not be happier with all he did for us.

Half Day Trip (PM) on March 12, 2025
Booked a trip so 4 teen boys could have a fun afternoon. Had heard the fishing wasn’t great right now, and they did warn us of this when we booked. But Capt James found the best spots, and they did catch some, and honestly they would have had a great time regardless. We will definitely book again with Rising Son next time.

Captain Trey is an amazing guide and I am struggling with the right words to describe what an awesome time my son and I had today. He was persistent throughout the whole trip and went above and beyond to give us a day that dads dream of.
