These trips I recommend no more than two peope and typically takes a little bit of prior fishimg experience. However, there is mothing more fun in the inshore scene in my opinion. Picture a cool morning before a hot day, while the other guide boats have not even touched the water. As we make are initial drive out, we see a sunrise over the marsh and dolphins playing in the river. Right as the sun is just shining enough light to make our first casts, we pull into a shallow flat in just a foot of water. Each angler holds and artificial lure as we slowly ease around looking for wakes from actively feeding redfish against the bank. Suddenly we see 20 or 30 huge wakes on the bank and shrimp getting blown oht of the water. That is when you make your first cast and have a long powerful fight with some light 10 pound line. Taking advantage of these cool mornings is great right now, because during the first hour, the redfish are active enough that you can see their wakes as the feed up aggressively from a distance. The key is to cast well ahead of them and let them swim into where your lure is. You can also buy a few furocious bites on a topwater right now during these same conditions. As the days goes on, the redfish become a bit less active. We may still be able to use the sun to our advantage after it heats up by actually seeing one sitting somewhere or perhaps switch to a bit of structure fishing woth the same lures. Although we may not always, get as many bites as live bait trips doing this, the bites you do get are far more rewarding.

Listen to the captain. He is from the area and he knows the area and knows what to look for to out you on fish. If his spot isn't working and he can't get a fish on the line then he will continue to search to put you on some fish.

Great experience. We did an afternoon trip and were grateful that we had a good breeze all afternoon otherwise it would have been too hot. Morning trip is probably better for those sensitive to the heat.

Make sure you wear sunscreen and a hat that won’t blow away. Wear layers and shoes you don’t mind getting wet or dirty. Let the captain know what you’re interested in catching so they can go to the best place to increase your chances of catching the perfect fish. Relax and enjoy!
