    (Half Day Trip – Inshore)

    Great half day fishing with my adult son

    we got four species of saltwater fish. We had never caught before typically fish on the West Coast was lots of fun.

    (3 Hour Trip)

    Captain Christina is one of the best ever!

    This is my second time fishing with Captain Christina. This time it was a girls’ trip. Our goal was to catch enough for dinner and we certainly did that. Captain Christina is knowledgeable of excellent fishing spots and also sprinkled in a lot of lessons. We had an absolute blast! I will not book with anyone else. Thank you, Captain Christina!

About Redfish fishing

Game Quality

Redfish, also called Red Drum, are a favorite inshore game fish. Anglers love their power, golden color, and the bold spot near the tail. Redfish fishing is all about sight, stealth, and a clean fight. These fish patrol shallow bays, marshes, and flats, and they crush baits with fast runs.

Most trips use inshore fishing with light tackle. Spinning gear and fly fishing both work well. Live shrimp, mullet, or small crabs are classic baits. Spoons, soft plastics, and topwater plugs also produce action. A popping cork makes a chugging sound that calls fish in. Sight casting means you spot the fish first, then place the lure ahead of it.

Expect calm, shallow water and quick strikes. This is a hands-on style that suits kids, first-timers, and seasoned anglers. Tides and low light often bring the best bite. Bring sun protection, a hat, and polarized sunglasses, which help you see fish in the water. Pack snacks, water, and non-marking shoes. Your captain or guide usually provides tackle and bait.

Rules for Redfish change by state and area. Before your trip, check local license and permit needs. Review season dates, harvest rules, and size and bag limits where you plan to fish. When in doubt, ask your captain and follow best catch-and-release practices.
