Reel in the Action: Jamaica Beach Half-Day Fishing

Looking to wet a line and catch some of the Texas coast's prized gamefish? This half-day trip with Jamaica Beach Fishing is your ticket to some serious inshore action. We'll hit the sweet spots where redfish and speckled trout love to hang out, giving you a shot at landing some real beauties. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our experienced guides know how to put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it.

What to Expect on the Water

Hop aboard for four hours of non-stop fishing fun in the rich waters around Jamaica Beach. We'll cruise the shallow bays and shorelines where the big ones lurk, targeting redfish, speckled trout, and whatever else is biting. Our guides come ready with all the gear you need – quality rods, reels, bait, and tackle – so you can focus on the important stuff, like setting the hook when that monster red decides to chow down. With room for two anglers, it's perfect for a fishing buddy trip or some quality family time on the water.

Techniques That'll Get You Hooked

We'll school you in the local fishing techniques that work best for our inshore species. Expect to do some light tackle casting, maybe some drift fishing if the conditions are right. We might throw soft plastics for trout or chunk some cut bait for reds – it all depends on what the fish are in the mood for that day. Don't worry if you're new to this; our guides are patient teachers who'll have you casting like a pro in no time. And if you're already handy with a rod, they might just share some of those secret tricks that'll up your game.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Cody did a great job. Very helpful , great boat and put on fish" - John

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the pride of Texas inshore fishing. They're known for their powerful runs and that distinctive black spot on their tail. Redfish love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with their tails sticking out of the water – a sight that gets every angler's heart racing. They're around all year, but fall is prime time when they school up and feed aggressively. Expect a good fight and some excellent eating if you decide to keep one for dinner.

Speckled Trout: Also called spotted seatrout, these guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing here. They're beautiful fish, with a mouth full of teeth and a body covered in black spots. Specks are known for their soft mouths, so setting the hook just right is key. They're most active in the cooler months, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Light tackle enthusiasts love the challenge of finessing these wary fish, and their flaky white meat makes for some top-notch fish tacos.

Time to Book Your Spot

Ready to get in on some of the best inshore fishing the Texas coast has to offer? This half-day trip with Jamaica Beach Fishing is your chance to tangle with some hard-fighting reds and specs, all while soaking in the beautiful coastal scenery. Whether you're looking to bend a rod with your fishing buddy or introduce the kids to the thrill of the catch, we've got you covered. Our experienced guides, top-notch equipment, and local know-how mean you're in for a productive day on the water.

Redfish

Redfish are a local favorite here in Jamaica Beach. These copper-colored beauties typically range from 20-30 inches, with some monsters pushing 40+ inches. You'll find them in shallow bays and flats, often tailing in water so skinny their backs break the surface. They love to hang around oyster reefs and grass beds, especially during fall and spring. Redfish put up a great fight, with powerful runs that'll test your drag. Their firm, white meat makes excellent table fare too. When sight-casting, look for their distinctive tail waving above water as they root for crabs and shrimp. My go-to trick is using a gold spoon - something about that flash drives them crazy. Just remember to work it slow and steady along the bottom. Whether you're after a bull red or some slot-sized fish for dinner, targeting these guys is always a blast.

Redfish

Sea Trout

Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a staple in our local waters. These silver-sided fish usually run 14-20 inches, though we occasionally hook into some gators over 25 inches. They prefer slightly deeper water than reds, often hanging around drop-offs and channels near grass flats. Spring and fall are prime times, but we catch them year-round. Sea trout are known for their soft, delicate meat - perfect for a fresh fish fry. They're not the hardest fighters, but make up for it with their willingness to bite and tasty fillets. Anglers love targeting them for their abundance and the challenge of finding schools. When the bite is on, it can be non-stop action. A local tip: try a popping cork rig with a live shrimp about 18 inches below. Work it with sharp jerks to mimic fleeing bait, and hang on - trout can't resist it.
