Private Trip Single Angler
Looking for a personalized inshore fishing experience where you call the shots? This private single angler trip puts you one-on-one with an experienced guide who knows these waters like the back of their hand. You'll bring your own kayak and gear, while your guide handles the rest - from reading the conditions to putting you on fish. Whether you're chasing redfish in the shallows or hunting speckled trout along grass lines, this trip is all about maximizing your time on productive water. No crowds, no waiting for other anglers, just you and some of the best inshore fishing around.
What to Expect on the Water
This isn't your typical group charter where you're competing for the guide's attention. You get the full treatment here - personalized instruction, prime fishing spots, and techniques tailored to your skill level. Your guide will scout conditions before you even launch, checking wind direction, tide movement, and recent fish activity to put together a game plan that works. Since you're paddling your own kayak, you'll have the freedom to work structure thoroughly and get into skinny water where bigger boats can't reach. The guide stays flexible with bait selection too - sometimes the fish want artificials, other days they're keyed in on live or frozen bait. Having that versatility makes all the difference when conditions change throughout the day.
Techniques and Tackle
Kayak fishing opens up opportunities that boat anglers miss completely. You'll learn to work shallow flats where redfish cruise in eighteen inches of water, plus target grass beds and oyster bars where trout stack up during moving tides. Your guide will show you how to position your kayak for different presentations - whether you're sight casting to tailing reds or working a drift over structure. Lure selection varies based on conditions, but expect to throw everything from soft plastics and topwater plugs to spoons and jigs. When live or frozen bait gets the nod, you'll learn proper rigging techniques and how to present baits naturally in current. The beauty of kayak fishing is stealth - you can ease into position without spooking fish that would bolt from a noisy outboard.
Top Catches This Season
Redfish are the bread and butter of inshore kayak fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-28 inches and fight like freight trains in shallow water. They're most active during moving tides, especially around oyster bars and grass flats where they hunt for crabs and shrimp. Fall and spring offer the most consistent action, though summer morning trips can be phenomenal before the sun gets too high. What makes reds special is their willingness to eat both artificials and bait - you might catch one on a gold spoon, then turn around and nail another on a live shrimp under a popping cork.
Speckled trout bring a different kind of excitement to the table. These spotted beauties are ambush predators that love structure - think grass lines, drop-offs, and channel edges where baitfish get pushed by current. They average 14-18 inches with bigger females showing up during cooler months. Trout can be picky eaters, which makes them fun to figure out. Some days they want a slow-sinking soft plastic, other times they'll crush a topwater at first light. The key is matching your presentation to their mood, something your guide has dialed in after years of reading these fish.
Summer flounder add another dimension to your targeting options. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, lying buried in sand near structure waiting for an easy meal to swim by. They typically run 16-22 inches and put up a surprising fight for their pancake-like appearance. Flounder fishing requires patience and the right technique - you're often bouncing baits along the bottom or working soft plastics with a lift-and-drop retrieve. When you connect with a keeper-sized fluke, you'll understand why so many anglers specifically target them. Their white meat is table fare at its finest.
