This trip is designed specifically for beginners and first time anglers who want to learn the fundamentals of inshore fishing in a relaxed, hands on environment. If you've never fished before or want to build confidence on the water, this is a great way to get started.

We'll primarily focus on fishing docks and structure using live shrimp (or small bItfish) one of the most effective and beginner friendly baits in our local waters. I'll guide you step by step through the basics, including casting, baiting hooks, working your bait naturally, and how to properly fight and land fish.

These docks often hold a variety of species, and depending on conditions we may encounter Snook, Trout, Redfish, Jacks, and other inshore fish.

Since this is a kayak based trip, you'll also get a unique and quiet perspective of the lagoon. It's common to see dolphins, manatees, pelicans, ospreys, and other coastal wildlife while we're out on the water.

This trip is ideal for:
• First-time anglers
• Anyone wanting to learn the basics of inshore fishing
• Visitors looking for a relaxed introduction to fishing in the lagoon

By the end of the trip, you'll have a solid understanding of the fundamentals and the confidence to keep fishing on your own.

John – Kayak Fishing Guide With 10+ years fishing Florida's Indian River Lagoon, I specialize in pedal drive kayak trips from Wabasso to Melbourne. I'll put you on fish while sharing the wildlife and hidden waters that make this place unforgettable. I'm John, the guide behind JP Kayak Fishing and Tours. For over a decade, I've been exploring the Indian River Lagoon — from Wabasso up to Melbourne — chasing Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, and whatever else bends a rod. Kayak fishing hooked me years ago because it's the most intimate, quiet way to fish — no engine roar, just the sound of your paddle and the sight of tailing fish in the shallows. Over time, I've learned every hidden flat, mangrove cut, and channel where the fish like to feed. I offer Hobie pedal driven kayaks so you can cover water with ease while still keeping the stealth that makes kayak fishing so effective. Whether it's your first time in a kayak or you're chasing your personal best, I tailor each trip to your skill level and goals. For me, guiding is more than putting clients on fish — it's about sharing the wildlife, sunrises, and local secrets that make these waters special. If you're ready for a fishing trip that's personal, hands on, and unforgettable, I'd be honored to show you my home waters.
