These waters are known for Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Weakfish, Black Seabass, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll be dropping lines from a 22' BlackJack bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Ryan has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Half Day Trip on June 26, 2025

Ryan was on top of everything!! The boat was so clean, great equipment and Ryan was absolutely great at handling the boat and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond getting us on the fish. He also handled a moody teenager flawlessly lol. I highly recommend going. You will not be disappointed, he is an all around nice guy. We will be returning and he will be my goto guy for charter fishing. Picture included is Captain Ryan and my son.

My son and I had a great time on the water. We are novice fishermen and Captain Ryan was extremely patient with us. He got us on the fish in different locations and we were able to catch our dinner!

Had an awesome time out on the water. Ryan had a great eye for the best spots and an even better men’s restroom. Caught plenty of fish and made some great memories. Will definitely be booking again when in town. Even the misses caught the fishing bug and looks forward to going back out. You’re a good man Ryan, thanks again!

Half Day Trip – Spring (Shared) on May 23, 2025

I had the best time i caught a whole mess of fish which I took home and ate for dinner. Captain Ryan was amazing put me right on the fish 🐟 and was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend anyone to charter a trip with him anytime they want to catch fish and not just fish for fish, because catching fish is so much fun.
