What Anglers Are Saying

"Captain Clinton was very patient with my wife who was a fishing rookie. Since I was not familiar with this type of fishing he explained the how and why for this type of fishing. We had a great time." - Stephen

"We had a great day on the water with captain Clinton. He was knowledgeable, patient, and just a genuinely good person. Captain Clinton knows how to catch redfish and was able to coach us into catching our limit in our half day trip. Whether you're a beginner or a pro you're going to have a good time catching fish with captain Clinton. I would highly recommend you book your redfish fishing with him, we will be back!" - Alex

"Captain Clinton gave us a great fishing experience! We caught fish immediately. Other Captains were calling him asking where to find fish. We did half day, starting at 7am. Afterward, he cleaned and bagged the fish for us and recommended a local restaurant that would prepare them for a fantastic lunch. Highly recommend this guy." - Herbert

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish are the stars of the show in these waters, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers can grow up to 40 inches and put up a fight that'll have your arms burning. They love to cruise the shallows, sometimes with their tails sticking right out of the water – a sight that'll get any angler's heart racing. Fall and winter are prime time for big bulls, but you can catch them year-round. The thrill of watching a big red inhale your bait in crystal clear water is something you've got to experience to believe.

Speckled trout are another local favorite. These tasty fish school up in the cooler months, and when you find 'em, it's non-stop action. They're not as big as the reds, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Cap'n Clinton knows all the deep holes and oyster reefs where the specks like to hang out.

Don't overlook the black drum – these ugly cousins of the redfish might not win any beauty contests, but they sure are fun to catch. They can grow to over 100 pounds, and even the smaller ones put up a great fight. You'll find them rooting around on the bottom, often in the same areas as the reds.

Flounder and sheepshead round out the inshore slam. Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. But Cap'n Clinton's got a keen eye for spotting them, and he'll show you how to entice these flatfish to bite. Sheepshead, with their distinctive black and white stripes, are the tough guys of the marsh. They love structure and have a knack for stealing bait, but when you hook one, you're in for a treat – they're excellent table fare.
