    (4 Hour Trip)

    Outstanding day on the water with owner and Captain Luke, money well spent

    Great trip with Luke, the owner of Hardhead Charters. I caught one of the biggest black drum and sheepshead of my life, plus several specks, a few reds, and some fun action under the birds. Luke knows the area, he’s friendly, and he cares about getting you on fish. Money well spent. I’ll be back and I’d recommend Luke to anyone fishing in Port Arthur.

    (Half day inshore fishing trip)

    NON-STOP ACTION

    Captain Brody knew where the fish were. Nonstop action caught at least 40 to 50 Reds. Definitely would book with him again.

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.
