    Enjoy a full-day inshore trip fishing for Reds, Flounder, Drum, and Trout. The 6-hour trip will give the better chance of getting either both but at least one of the better sides of the tide. It also allows for more travel time if you need to make longer runs to ensure better fishing.

    This is an early morning topwater trip. You will depart before sunrise and start throwing topwater or subsurface baits for Trout and Redfish. It's pretty exciting watching fish crush a topwater bait! It's only a few hours because once the sun rises, the topwater bite tends to slow down.

I am a fourth generation charter boat captain who grew up on fishing boats and I've never stopped loving it. I like to troll for striking fish and also love to bottom fish for reef species. I tend to prefer lighter tackle for more of a fair fight but when it's necessary, I'll pull out the big guns! I'm open to trying other peoples' favorite styles and methods as well because in this line of work if you aren't trying new things and experimenting, then you won't go too far!
