We'll get you out on the water bright and early at 6 AM, so you can make the most of prime fishing time. Whether you're after those hard-fighting redfish or looking to land some tasty speckled trout, we've got you covered. Our seasoned guides know all the local hotspots and will put you on the fish. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's get after 'em!
Here's the scoop on our Jamaica Beach fishing trip. We're talking six solid hours of fishing, kicking off at the crack of dawn. That's when the fish are biting, and the water's nice and calm. We'll cruise the coastline, hitting up all the sweet spots where the big ones like to hang out. Our boat's set up for two anglers, so you'll have plenty of elbow room to cast and reel. Just a heads up - we don't provide meals on this one, so pack some snacks to keep your energy up. Trust me, when you're battling a bull red, you'll be glad you brought that granola bar!
Alright, let's talk fishing techniques. Down here in Jamaica Beach, we're all about light tackle and live bait. We'll be doing a mix of drift fishing and anchoring up on some prime spots. For you newbies, drift fishing is just what it sounds like - we let the boat drift with the current while we cast our lines. It's a great way to cover more water and find where the fish are biting. When we find a honey hole, we'll drop anchor and really work it. We'll hook you up with some popping corks for those trout - it's like ringing the dinner bell for fish. For redfish, we might switch to a bottom rig with cut bait. Don't worry if you're new to this - our guides will show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.
Now, I could go on all day about the fishing, but let's hear from some folks who've been out with us before. Unfortunately, we don't have any specific customer reviews to share at the moment. But trust me, the smiles on our guests' faces when they reel in that monster redfish or limit out on trout - that's all the testimony we need. We're all about making memories out on the water, and we can't wait to help you create your own fish story to tell.
Let's talk about what you might catch on your trip. We've got three main players in these waters: summer flounder, sea trout, and redfish. Each one's got its own personality, and they're all a blast to catch.
Summer flounder, also known as fluke, are crafty little devils. They like to hang out on the bottom, blending in with the sand. These flatfish might not look like much, but they put up a good fight and taste amazing. We usually find them in deeper channels or around structure. The trick is to work your bait slowly along the bottom - these guys are ambush predators, so you've got to tempt them into striking.
Sea trout, or speckled trout as we call 'em, are a favorite around here. They're quick, they're feisty, and man, are they fun to catch on light tackle. These spotted beauties love to hang around grass flats and oyster reefs. Early morning is prime time for trout fishing - that's why we get out so early. When you hook one, get ready for some acrobatics. They're known for their spectacular jumps and head shakes.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show - redfish. These copper-colored bruisers are what dreams are made of for many anglers. They can grow to over 40 inches long, and when they hit your line, you'll know it. Redfish love to cruise the shallows, often with their tails sticking out of the water (we call that "tailing"). The bigger ones, called bull reds, hang out in deeper water. Either way, when you hook into one, hold on tight - these guys don't give up easy!
So there you have it, folks - a little taste of what's waiting for you out on the water. Our 6-hour trip is perfect for both seasoned anglers looking to tangle with some big reds and newcomers wanting to learn the ropes. We provide all the gear, the know-how, and the hot spots. All you need to bring is your sense of adventure (and maybe a lucky hat). The fish are out there, and they're biting. Why not come join us for a morning you won't forget? Give us a call or book online - we've got a spot on the boat with your name on it. Let's go fishing!
Summer flounder, or fluke, are one of the tastiest fish in these waters. They're ambush predators, lying camouflaged on the bottom waiting to pounce. Most we catch are 15-20 inches, but trophy fish over 5 pounds aren't uncommon. You'll find flounder hanging around structure - jetties, reefs, and channel edges. They're here year-round, but fishing really heats up in late summer and fall as they fatten up for winter. Drift fishing with live bait or bucktail jigs is deadly effective. Here's a tip: when you feel that telltale thump, don't set the hook right away. Give them a few seconds to get the bait in their mouth, then reel down and lift. It's a unique fight, and the fillets are out of this world.
Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a blast to catch around here. Most run 14-20 inches, but we occasionally hook into gators over 25 inches. Look for them around grass flats, channels, and drop-offs. They're suckers for live shrimp under a popping cork, but artificials work great too. These fish really turn on in the cooler months. From fall through spring, we'll find big schools hanging in deeper holes. They put up a nice fight on light tackle and make excellent table fare. One of my favorite ways to target them is to drift the flats, fan-casting soft plastics. When you find a hot spot, anchor up and work it hard. The bite can be fast and furious!
Redfish are a favorite target here in Jamaica Beach. These copper-colored beauties typically run 20-30 inches, with some real bruisers pushing 40+ inches. You'll find them prowling the shallows - we're talking 1-4 feet of water. They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and shorelines. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn, but you can catch 'em year-round. Reds put up a heck of a fight and taste great too. That combo makes them popular with just about everyone who steps on my boat. To catch 'em, we'll use topwater lures early, then switch to soft plastics or live bait as the sun gets higher. Here's a local trick - if you see their backs sticking out of the water (we call that "tailing"), cast a weedless jig right in front of 'em. Hold on tight!
