Salt Strong Insider Kayak Fishing Charter
This isn't your average guided fishing trip. We're talking about an exclusive Salt Strong Insider Member experience that puts you right in the action for a full day of inshore kayak fishing. When you book this charter, you're getting personalized attention from one of our top-rated guides who knows these waters like the back of their hand. Starting around 6 a.m., we'll adjust your launch time based on tide schedules and seasonal patterns to put you on fish when they're most active. Whether you meet us at the boat ramp or take advantage of our pick-up service, you're in for a world-class fishing adventure that's designed specifically for serious anglers aged 16 and up.
What to Expect on the Water
Picture this: you're gliding through shallow inshore waters in a pedal-driven kayak, hands free to work your rod while your guide positions you over prime fishing spots. That's the beauty of kayak fishing – we can slip into skinny water where bigger boats can't reach, accessing those honey holes where redfish cruise and sea trout stack up. Your guide will have you rigged and ready before we even hit the water, sharing local knowledge about structure, bait movement, and fish behavior that you won't find in any fishing magazine. The full 8-hour experience gives us plenty of time to work multiple spots, adjust tactics based on conditions, and really dial in what's working. Plus, lunch is included so you can stay focused on fishing without worrying about meal planning. This is a customer favorite because it combines the stealth advantage of kayak fishing with the expertise of a seasoned local guide who lives and breathes these waters.
Pedal Power & Precision Fishing
Pedal-driven kayaks are a game changer for serious anglers, and here's why. Instead of paddling with your hands, you're using your legs to propel and maneuver the kayak, leaving both hands completely free for fishing. This means you can work topwater plugs, soft plastics, and live bait with precision while staying positioned over structure or moving fish. Your guide will show you how to use the pedal system effectively, including reverse propulsion for backing away from spooky fish or holding position in current. We fish everything from grass flats and oyster bars to creek mouths and shallow cuts where big fish come to feed. The kayaks let us cover water efficiently while staying quiet – no motor noise to spook fish in shallow water. Your guide carries all the essential tackle, from DOA shrimp and Z-Man soft plastics to topwater plugs and live bait rigs, adjusting the arsenal based on conditions and target species.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Sea trout are the bread and butter of inshore fishing, and these speckled beauties are a blast to catch on light tackle. They typically run 14 to 20 inches in these waters, with occasional "gator" trout pushing 24 inches or better. Spring and fall are prime times when they school up over grass beds and sandy potholes, but summer fishing can be excellent in deeper creek mouths during low-light periods. What makes trout fishing so addictive is their aggressive strikes on topwater plugs and the way they'll absolutely crush a well-presented soft plastic. They're also great eating, making them a customer favorite for anglers who like to take a few fish home for dinner.
Redfish are the heavy hitters that'll test your drag and your nerves. These copper-colored bruisers average 20 to 28 inches, with slot-sized fish providing explosive fights in shallow water. Reds are year-round residents, but fall brings the best action when they school up in large numbers along shorelines and over shallow flats. What gets anglers fired up about redfish is their willingness to eat topwater baits and the way they'll make blistering runs toward structure when hooked. They're incredibly strong for their size, and in skinny water, they'll put on a show with tail-walking and bulldogging runs that'll have your heart pumping.
Southern flounder are the shape-shifters of the inshore world, and they're trending as one of the most challenging and rewarding species to target. These flatfish can grow to impressive sizes, with keepers starting at 15 inches and trophy fish reaching 20-plus inches. Fall migration periods offer the best opportunities as they move toward inlets and passes. Flounder fishing requires patience and technique – they're ambush predators that lay buried in sand waiting to strike. When you feel that distinctive thump and weight, you know you've got a flattie on. They're prized by anglers not just for the challenge, but because they're absolutely delicious on the table.
