Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Flounder, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and whatever else takes the bait. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to drift using light tackle.

Captain Billy uses a 25’ Blackjack bay boat. It can accommodate up to four guests and is powered by a 350 HP Yamaha engine. It’s got all the necessary GPS, fishfinder, and radio communication systems, and it features a livewell.

Spend your day fishing the local bays for Flounder, Trout, Redfish, and more. These are the area’s top resident species and promise great fights and delicious table fare. Throughout the year, Tidalist Charters also offers various specialty trips, targeting Shrimp, Sheepshead, and Cobia right when they are at their peak.

Fishing the bays, rivers, and nearshore the Gulf of Mexico’s coastal waters, you’ll target all available inshore and nearshore species. The captain’s short 2-hour trips are not just for you to catch fish but also to get you out on the water to take a break and enjoy your vacation. You’ll also see a lot of dolphins on the journey out.
