This is an artificial-only wade fishing trip, departing from the launch around 6:00 AM and returning by approximately 12:00 PM. We will fish from a 2024 El Pescador boat, equipped with the latest GPS and fish finder technology. Our fishing targets include Redfish, Flounder, Sea Trout, and Black Drum. At the end of the trip, I will clean all the fish you catch.
Committed to conserving the local fishery, I follow a personal regulation established after the 2021 freeze. Although official regulations have returned to normal, I limit the retention of Trout to a maximum of three, each measuring between 15" and 20". Any oversized Trout and Redfish will be catch, photo, and release only.
All light tackle rods, reels, and lures are provided for your convenience, but you must bring your own waders or boots. Please remember to wear sun protection such as sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. I will supply water and Gatorade, but you should bring your own snacks.
Safety is a top priority throughout the trip, with a First Aid kit and fire extinguisher available on board if needed.
