What you’ll do

  • Start at the jetties and work the rocks
  • Follow birds, bait and slicks into nearshore water
  • Switch tactics as the bite changes through the trip
  • Cruise home with six hours of fishing behind you

Typical catch: Bull redfish, Speckled trout, King mackerel, Spanish mackerel, Sheepshead, Jack crevalle (depending on season)

Good for: Anglers who want more time, Families with older kids, Corporate and client outings, Friends’ fishing trips

Four hours goes fast. Six hours lets your captain fish the tide instead of the clock. Start at the rocks, then follow the bait and the birds into the nearshore Gulf.

Depending on season, that opens the door to bull redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead and jack crevalle at the jetties, plus Spanish and king mackerel when they push in close.

It’s a full fishing day without the commitment of a long offshore run. All four boats run it, from the 26-foot Wave Warrior and Pole Dancer up to Instagator and the flagship Wave Dancer 2.

Questions

It’s a strong pick. Six hours gives your group real time on the water together, and you can choose a bigger boat. Call us to talk through your group and which boat fits.

Any of the four. The 26-foot Wave Warrior and Pole Dancer are center consoles, so you can fish 360 degrees around the boat, which makes the jetties easier and more productive; they include 3 guests, with extra guests $100 each. Instagator and Wave Dancer 2 include up to 6 guests and put a bigger, federally permitted sportfishing yacht under you.

Typical targets include bull redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, jack crevalle and Spanish and king mackerel, depending on season. Conditions change daily, so your captain fishes what the day gives.

A $200 deposit holds your trip. Cancel with 14 days’ notice and your deposit becomes a credit; if we have to cancel for weather, you get a refund or a reschedule credit. The full terms are under Deposit, weather and cancellations above. Questions first? Call us.
