You can cancel without any fees until 14 days prior to your trip and the amount will be refunded as a credit to your account. If you cancel less than 14 days before the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancellations made on the day of the trip or if you fail to show up will result in a charge of the full trip cost to your payment method.
All necessary equipment will be provided, but we suggest bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, clothing suitable for the weather, and any personal gear you prefer to use during the trip.
Drift trips involve allowing the boat to naturally float across the flats while blind casting lures into pot holes and along drop-offs. This quiet approach offers the most effective way to locate and catch fish. It is especially suitable for larger groups of two to three people, as well as trips that include children. The primary focus of these trips is targeting speckled trout, with flounder and redfish often caught as secondary species.
