Inshore Fishing

Looking for that sweet spot between a quick jaunt and an all-day commitment? This 3-hour private fishing trip on Lead Hill's pristine waters hits the mark perfectly. Eric's Elite Guide Service has crafted this customer favorite specifically for families wanting quality time on the water without wearing out the kids – or themselves. You'll have the boat to yourselves with room for up to 2 guests, making it an intimate experience where everyone gets personal attention and plenty of chances to wet their lines.
Lead Hill's protected inshore waters offer some of the most consistent fishing you'll find in the area. The calm conditions make this trip ideal for first-timers and seasoned anglers alike. Your guide knows these waters like the back of their hand – every structure, drop-off, and feeding zone where fish like to hang out. The beauty of a 3-hour window is you're not rushing to get lines in the water, but you're also not dealing with that mid-afternoon lull when fish sometimes go quiet. You'll launch in the morning when the bite is active, or catch that evening feeding window when predators move shallow to hunt. The pace stays relaxed, giving everyone time to learn proper techniques, take photos, and actually enjoy the experience instead of just grinding through it.
Your guide comes equipped with top-rated rods, reels, and tackle suited for Lead Hill's inshore species. Depending on conditions and what's biting, you might be casting live bait around structure, working soft plastics through grass flats, or even throwing topwater lures if the action calls for it. The gear is sized appropriately for the fish you're targeting – no overkill setups that tire out young anglers, but nothing so light that you can't handle a decent fish either. Your guide will match the approach to your group's experience level. New to fishing? You'll learn the basics of casting, setting the hook, and fighting fish properly. Got some experience? Your guide will share local hotspots and techniques that work specifically in these waters. Everything you need is provided, so just bring yourselves and maybe some snacks and drinks.
Lead Hill's inshore waters hold a solid mix of species that keep things interesting throughout your 3-hour trip. Bass are the bread and butter here – both largemouth and spots that average 2-4 pounds with bigger fish always possible. They're aggressive fighters that hit a variety of baits, making them perfect targets for anglers of all skill levels. Spring through fall offers the most consistent bass action, with early morning and late afternoon being prime time. What makes bass so exciting to catch is their unpredictability – they might slam a topwater bait in explosive fashion or pick up a finesse worm so subtly you barely feel it. Either way, when you set the hook, they'll give you a fight with jumps, runs, and bulldogging moves that keep your rod bent and heart pumping.
Crappie show up in good numbers during their spawning season, typically March through May, when they move shallow and become aggressive feeders. These panfish might not be the biggest fighters, but they make up for it in numbers and taste. A good crappie bite means steady action with fish in the 10-14 inch range that are perfect for a family fish fry. They school up around structure like fallen trees, brush piles, and dock pilings, so once your guide finds them, you can often catch several from the same spot. Kids especially love crappie fishing because the bites are easy to feel and the fish cooperate well on light tackle.
This 3-hour private trip delivers exactly what it promises – quality time on the water with personal attention from an experienced guide who knows how to put you on fish. Whether you're introducing kids to fishing, celebrating a special occasion, or just need to get away from screens and reconnect with family, this trip offers the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement. Lead Hill's calm inshore waters provide the ideal setting for a stress-free day, and with a capacity of just 2 guests, everyone gets plenty of hands-on instruction and fishing time. Don't wait for the perfect weather or the perfect weekend – good fishing happens more often than you think, and your guide knows when and where to find it.
