What to Expect on the Water

Alan will put his years of local knowledge to work. You'll be using a mix of artificial lures and live bait, depending on what's working best that day. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing – Capt. Alan's got plenty of tips and tricks up his sleeve to help you land that trophy catch. And with a max of 4 guests, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, ospreys, and other coastal wildlife as we navigate the scenic bays and backwaters.

Gear Up for Inshore Action

We provide all the quality gear you'll need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. You'll be using light to medium spinning setups, perfect for feeling every nibble and putting up a good fight with those feisty reds and trout. We might throw some soft plastics, jigs, or topwater lures, or switch to live shrimp or finger mullet if that's what's getting the fish fired up. Capt. Alan's always got a few secret weapons in his arsenal, so be ready to learn some local techniques that'll up your inshore game. And don't forget your camera – these crystal-clear waters and golden marsh grass make for some killer fishing photos.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of inshore fishing in PCB. Known for their powerful runs and distinctive black spot near the tail, redfish (also called red drum) love to cruise the shallows and grass flats. They'll readily take artificial lures or live bait, and put up a heck of a fight on light tackle. Fall is prime time for big bull reds, but we catch them year-round in various sizes. There's nothing quite like watching a redfish tail in shallow water or seeing your line zip off when one slams your bait.

Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these spotted predators are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They've got a soft mouth, so finesse is key when fighting them. Sea trout love to hang around oyster bars, grass flats, and deeper holes, often striking topwater lures with explosive surface hits. We catch them year-round, but the bigger gator trout tend to show up in cooler months. Their delicate white flesh makes them a favorite for the dinner table, so be sure to keep a few if you're planning a fish fry.
