Kayak Fishing Adventure: Half or Full Day

Ready for a kayak fishing trip that'll have you hooked? Our guided charters are perfect for anglers who love the stealthy approach and intimate connection with the water that only kayak fishing can offer. Whether you're after a quick half-day outing or want to spend a full eight hours on the hunt, we've got you covered. We'll get you on the fish and show you some kayak angling tricks that'll up your game.

What to Expect on the Water

We kick things off early, usually around 6 AM, to hit that sweet spot when the fish are most active. Don't worry if you're not a morning person – the excitement of your first catch will wake you right up. We've got the flexibility to pick you up or meet you at the launch, whatever works best for you. This trip is designed for folks 16 and up, so we can focus on some serious fishing without having to worry about the little ones. It's just you, your kayak, and the fish – no engine noise to scare 'em off, just pure angling bliss.

Paddling and Casting

Kayak fishing is all about finesse and stealth. We'll show you how to silently glide into those hard-to-reach spots where the big ones hide. You'll learn to read the water, spot structure, and present your bait or lure with precision. We use top-notch pedal-driven kayaks, giving you hands-free control to focus on fishing. These bad boys are stable enough for stand-up casting, opening up a whole new perspective on the water. We'll cover everything from rigging your kayak for fishing success to mastering those quiet, controlled casts that won't spook the fish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Sea Trout are one of our top targets, and for good reason. These silver-sided beauties put up a great fight and are a blast to catch on light tackle. They love to hang around grass flats and oyster bars, often striking hard at topwater lures at dawn and dusk. The "gator" trout (the big ones) can push 30 inches and give you a real run for your money.

Redfish are the bulldogs of the flats. These copper-colored brutes are known for their powerful runs and their distinctive spot near the tail. We often find them tailing in shallow water, giving you a heart-pounding sight-fishing experience. They'll test your drag and your nerves, especially when they make those blistering runs towards structure.

Southern Flounder might not look like much, but don't let their flat appearance fool you. These ambush predators are masters of camouflage and can grow to impressive sizes. The thrill of flounder fishing is in the subtle bite and the quick hook-set needed to land them. They're also some of the best-eating fish in these waters, making them a favorite for anglers looking to bring home dinner.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about kayak fishing that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the way you can silently slip into those skinny waters where the big boats can't go. Or perhaps it's the intimacy of feeling every head shake and run directly through your kayak. Our regulars love the challenge of managing their craft while battling fish, and the sense of accomplishment when they land a trophy from such a small vessel. Plus, there's no beating the peace and quiet – just you, nature, and the gentle lap of water against your hull.

Time to Book Your Spot

Whether you're a seasoned kayak angler or looking to try it for the first time, our guided trips are tailored to give you the best shot at some quality fish and a great day on the water. Remember, we provide everything you need – from the kayaks and fishing gear to local knowledge that'll put you on the fish. Lunch is included, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a camera to capture your catches. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date. Give us a call or book online, and let's get you out on the water for some kayak fishing action you won't forget. Tight lines!

Redfish

Redfish are one of the most popular inshore gamefish around, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-30 inches but can grow over 40 inches in the right conditions. You'll find them cruising shallow flats, tailing in marshes, or hanging around oyster bars and docks. Fall is prime time as reds school up and feed heavily before winter. But you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. They're not picky eaters - cut bait, live shrimp, or artificial lures all work well. Sight fishing for tailing reds in skinny water is hard to beat for pure excitement. Redfish pull like freight trains and don't give up easily. That's why anglers love targeting them. Plus, they're excellent table fare. One local trick: on calm days, look for pushes of water or swirls on the surface. That's often a dead giveaway for feeding reds. Just remember to approach quietly - these fish can spook easily in shallow water.

Redfish

Sea Trout

Sea trout are a blast to catch and make for some tasty eating too. These silvery fish typically run 14-24 inches and put up a good fight on light tackle. You'll find them in coastal waters, grass flats, and estuaries. They love to hang around structure like oyster bars. Fall and spring are prime seasons when water temperatures are in that sweet spot. Sea trout hit artificial lures hard - topwater plugs and soft plastics work great. But live shrimp or finger mullet are tough to beat. The key is a slow retrieve - these guys aren't speedsters. Night fishing can be incredibly productive, especially around lighted docks or bridges. What makes sea trout special is their accessibility. You don't need a big boat or fancy gear to get into them. And when you hook one, that tell-tale head shake lets you know you're in for some fun. Just remember to release the big breeders to keep populations healthy. My go-to trick? A popping cork rig with a live shrimp - it's simple but deadly effective.

Sea Trout

Southern Flounder

Southern flounder are ambush predators that lie camouflaged on the bottom, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting prey. They typically run 15-18 inches but can reach over 30 inches. You'll find them in coastal waters, bays, and estuaries, often near structure or drop-offs. Fall is the best time to target flounder as they migrate to spawn. They're not known for hard fights, but the challenge is in the catch. Flounder have a unique bite - they'll grab a bait and hold it before swallowing. Patience is key here. Live bait like finger mullet or mud minnows work great. For artificials, try bouncing a jig with a soft plastic trailer slowly along the bottom. My top tip? When you feel that telltale "thump," wait a few seconds before setting the hook. It's tempting to jerk right away, but giving them time to take the bait fully will result in more hookups. And don't forget - flounder are some of the tastiest fish in the sea.
