Techniques That Get Results

On this trip, you'll get hands-on experience with a variety of inshore fishing techniques. Depending on the conditions and target species, you might find yourself live-baiting with pilchards for tarpon, working soft plastics along mangrove edges for snook, or using cut bait to entice those hard-pulling jacks.

He's got a knack for explaining things clearly without talking down to anyone, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler. Plus, his enthusiasm for the local fishery is contagious - you can't help but get pumped up when he spots a school of tarpon rolling or points out a snook's ambush spot. The flexible nature of the trip means you can really dial in on what interests you most, whether that's learning new techniques, targeting a specific species, or just soaking up the beautiful Jensen Beach scenery while you wait for the next bite.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are the rock stars of Florida's inshore scene. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, snook offer an adrenaline-pumping fight that'll test your skills. They love to hang around structure, so expect to do some precision casting along mangroves and dock pilings. Spring and fall are prime times to target big breeders as they move in and out of the inlets.

Tarpon: The "silver king" is the holy grail for many inshore anglers, and for good reason. These prehistoric giants can top 100 pounds and put on an aerial show like no other when hooked. Targeting tarpon is often a game of patience and precision, but when it all comes together, it's an experience you'll never forget. Late spring through summer is usually the best time to find big schools of tarpon in the Jensen Beach area.

Redfish: With their copper-colored scales and distinctive spot near the tail, redfish are both beautiful and challenging quarry. They're known for their powerful runs and dogged fights, especially around structure. Sight-fishing for tailing reds in shallow water is an exciting technique you might get to try. These fish can be caught year-round, but fall tends to be particularly good as they school up.

Atlantic Bonito: Don't let their smaller size fool you - these speedsters punch well above their weight class when it comes to fighting ability. Often found in nearshore waters, bonito make blistering runs and are a blast on light tackle. They're usually more abundant in the cooler months, offering great action when some other species slow down.

Crevalle Jack: If you're looking for a true test of strength, hooking into a big jack crevalle will do the trick. These bruisers are pure muscle and can turn a calm day of fishing into an all-out battle in seconds. They often travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Jacks can be caught year-round but tend to be most active in warmer months.
