Inshore Fishing
Six-hour morning charter targets local inshore species with professional captainFamily-friendly trip welcomes beginners and experienced anglers with included fishing licenseMorning departure from 7 AM to 1 PM accommodates up to four guests
There's something special about being on the water at first light, and this 6-hour morning charter with Reed And Reel Fishing Company delivers exactly that magic. Running from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, you'll beat the crowds and catch fish when they're most active. Whether you're bringing the family for their first taste of saltwater fishing or you're a weekend warrior looking to load the cooler, this trip hits the sweet spot. With room for up to 4 anglers, it's perfectly sized for an intimate fishing experience where everyone gets plenty of rod time and personal attention from your captain.
Your morning starts early, but trust me—watching the sunrise paint the water while you're rigging up is worth every minute of lost sleep. The cool morning breeze keeps things comfortable, and the fish are hungry after a long night. Your professional captain knows these waters like the back of their hand and will put you on the most productive spots based on what's biting that day. Kids are more than welcome, and all the safety gear is provided—just make sure those life vests stay on. You'll want to pack your own snacks and drinks since there's no meal service, but honestly, fresh-caught fish tastes better when you've worked up an appetite. The fishing license is included in your trip, so you can focus on what matters: getting lines wet and making memories.
Inshore fishing is all about reading the water and adapting to what Mother Nature gives you. Your captain will switch between live bait fishing around structure, casting artificials to shallow flats, and maybe some light tackle action depending on the conditions. Morning hours are prime time for working the grass beds and oyster bars where baitfish congregate—that's where the predators will be waiting. You'll learn how to feel the difference between a pickup and bottom structure, how to set the hook on different species, and when to let the fish run versus when to put pressure on. The gear is provided, but if you've got a lucky rod or favorite tackle box, bring it along. Every angler has their confidence baits, and your captain will work with whatever gets you excited about fishing.

Black Sea Bass are the bread and butter of inshore fishing around here, and for good reason. These chunky bottom dwellers love hanging around structure and will absolutely slam a well-presented bait. They typically run 12-16 inches, with some real slobs pushing 20+ inches if you're lucky. Peak season runs through the warmer months, and they're aggressive feeders that'll hit everything from squid strips to small jigs. What makes them special is their willingness to bite and their excellent table fare—firm white meat that's perfect for the grill.
Black Drum are the bulldogs of the inshore world, and when one grabs your bait, you'll know it immediately. These powerful fish can range from schoolie-sized 2-3 pounders up to genuine giants exceeding 30 pounds. They're year-round residents but really turn on during spring and fall transitions. Drum have excellent hearing and will respond to cut bait fished near bottom around oyster beds and creek mouths. Fighting a big drum is like arm wrestling with a submarine—they use their broad sides and powerful tails to make long, determined runs that'll test your drag system.
Striped Bass bring the excitement factor that keeps anglers coming back season after season. Whether you're targeting schoolies in the 18-24 inch range or hunting for that 30+ inch keeper, stripers are pure adrenaline on a fishing rod. They're most active during cooler months and love chasing baitfish in open water. Topwater action can be explosive when conditions are right, and there's nothing quite like watching a striper blow up on a surface plug. Their aggressive feeding behavior and acrobatic fights make them a top-rated target for both beginners and seasoned pros.
Redfish are the poster children of inshore fishing, and once you hook into one, you'll understand the obsession. These copper-colored fighters typically run 20-30 inches and are famous for their initial blistering runs and stubborn fight right to the boat. They're sight-fishing favorites in shallow water, where you can actually see them tailing and cruising the flats. Reds are year-round residents with peak action during warmer months. They'll eat live bait, cut bait, and artificials with equal enthusiasm, making them perfect for anglers of all skill levels.
Cobia are the wildcards that can turn a good day into an legendary one. These brown sharks-lookalikes are curious fish that often approach the boat, giving anglers shots at sight-casting to individual fish. They're spring and summer visitors that can range from 25-pound teenagers up to genuine 50+ pound bruisers. Cobia are strong, determined fighters that make long runs and aren't afraid to dive under the boat or around structure. Their firm, white meat rivals any offshore species, making them highly sought after for both the fight and the table.
This 6-hour morning charter gives you the best of both worlds—serious fishing action during prime feeding hours and an afternoon free to enjoy whatever else your day holds. With Reed And Reel Fishing Company's local expertise and your enthusiasm, you're set up for the kind of morning that creates fish stories for years to come.

Pogonias CromisBlack Drum are the heavyweights of the shallow water game, running anywhere from 5 to 30 pounds with some real giants pushing 50+. These fish love brackish water around oyster bars, muddy flats, and creek mouths in 2-15 feet of water. Spring is your best shot when they school up to spawn - that's when you'll find the most fish in one spot. What guests love about drum fishing is the sheer power these fish pack. They'll make long, bulldogging runs that'll test your drag system. The smaller ones under 15 pounds are excellent table fare too. Pro tip: use fresh blue crab for bait and fish it right on the bottom. Drum have incredible noses and those crushing jaws are built for crabs - it's like ringing the dinner bell for them.
Centropristis StriataBlack Sea Bass are chunky, hard-fighting fish that most folks catch in the 1-4 pound range, though they can push 8+ pounds. You'll find them around wrecks, jetties, and rocky bottom in 20-120 feet of water. They love structure - the more complex, the better. Late spring through summer is prime time when they move inshore to spawn and feed. What makes them special is that solid fight right to the boat, plus they're some of the best eating fish in the ocean - sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. Here's a tip that works: when you feel that first tap, don't set the hook right away. Let them take it and run for a second, then stick 'em. They tend to mouth the bait first, and patience pays off with better hookups.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are brown, shark-looking fish that average 30-50 pounds and fight like freight trains. They're loners, not schooling fish, so each one is a prize. You'll find them around buoys, wrecks, and structures in 30-70 feet of water, often cruising just under the surface. Spring migration and summer months offer the best opportunities when they move into our area to spawn. What guests love about cobia is the sight fishing aspect - spotting these big fish swimming near the surface gets everyone's adrenaline pumping. Plus, they're phenomenal eating with firm, white meat that tastes like a cross between grouper and mahi. When you hook one, expect multiple drag-screaming runs. Here's my best cobia tip: when you see one, get your bait in front of it and be ready to follow the fish if needed. They're curious but easily spooked, so one good presentation is often all you get.
Sciaenops OcellatusRedfish are copper-colored beauties with distinctive black spots near their tails, averaging 20-30 inches in our waters. These fish are shallow water specialists, cruising flats, oyster bars, and grass beds in 1-4 feet of water - sometimes so shallow their backs stick out. Fall and spring offer the best action when they're most active and feeding heavily before and after winter. What makes redfish so popular is their willingness to eat and that initial blistering run when hooked. They're also excellent table fare with mild, sweet meat. The unique thing about reds is sight fishing - watching them cruise the shallows and making that perfect cast. My go-to tip: when you spot a red, cast well ahead of where it's moving and let your bait sit still. These fish spook easily, so patience beats aggressive retrieves every time.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the ultimate coastal game fish, typically running 20-40 pounds but capable of much more. These silver bullets with dark horizontal stripes are structure lovers - find rocky areas, drop-offs, or current breaks and you'll find stripers. They're most active during spring and fall migrations when they're feeding heavily. Dawn and dusk are magic hours when they come shallow to hunt. What makes stripers special is their combination of size, fight, and fantastic eating quality - firm, sweet meat that's hard to beat. They're also smart fish that'll test your skills. Best tip I can give you: match the bait to what's in the water. If you see bunker schools, throw big baits. See small baitfish, downsize your presentation. Stripers can be picky, but when you match their current food source, they'll hammer it.
