Please arrive 15 minutes early for instructions. Our trip departs from Black Creek Lodge, where we will focus on targeting redfish and black drum. We’ll be casting off less than 10 minutes from my backyard, ensuring quick access to prime fishing spots. Depending on the group's size and skill level, we will use cut baits along with artificial lures, including subsurface and topwater hardbaits. For groups larger than four or if any member is unable to safely and accurately cast, we will exclusively use cut baits. Departure time is 3:30 pm sharp.
