I definitely recommend this trip to anyone." - Lesley

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's talk fish – the stars of our Jacksonville inshore show. First up, we've got the redfish. These copper-colored beauties are the pride of Florida's inshore waters. They're known for their distinctive spot near the tail and can grow to over 40 inches long. Redfish love to cruise the shallows, and when they're tailing, it's a sight that'll get any angler's heart racing. Spring and fall are prime times to target these bad boys, but honestly, they're around all year.

Next, we've got the spotted seatrout, or as the locals call 'em, speckled trout. These guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing. They're not just pretty to look at with their spotted patterns; they're also a blast to catch on light tackle. Trout are ambush predators, so we'll be targeting them around grass flats and oyster beds. Early mornings or evenings are when they really turn on the feed bag.

Don't sleep on the black drum, either. These cousins of the redfish can grow to monster sizes, and even the smaller ones put up a great fight. They've got a face only a mother could love, with those barbels under their chin, but what they lack in looks, they make up for in taste. Black drum are bottom feeders, so we'll be dropping baits near structure and using the tides to our advantage.

Last but not least, there's the southern flounder. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. Catching a flounder is like unwrapping a present – you never know how big it's going to be until you get it to the surface. They're most active during the fall when they start their migration, but we can find them year-round if we know where to look. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like a fresh flounder fillet for dinner.
