Highlights of 4 Hour Trip – Inshore (Day)
This trip focuses on targeting the diverse inshore species around Milton, with special attention to the productive waters of Garcon Point. Using a variety of techniques from jigging to fly fishing, we'll work both deeper channels and structure where spotted weakfish and redfish congregate. The variety of fishing approaches means there's something for everyone, whether you're new to fishing or an experienced angler.
Summer trips often produce excellent action, even with afternoon weather patterns.

The ability to adapt tactics—switching from light tackle to heavier setups when targeting larger predators like Atlantic sharpnose sharks—ensures productive fishing throughout your charter.
Local Tips & Conditions
The inshore waters around Milton offer some of Florida's most productive fishing grounds, particularly during summer months. Weather patterns typically include partly cloudy mornings with potential afternoon showers, but this rarely impacts fishing success. In fact, changing weather often triggers feeding activity among predatory species. The Garcon Point area features a mix of channels, structure, and flats that provide ideal habitat for multiple gamefish species.
Water clarity varies throughout the season, but the local fish are accustomed to these changes. When targeting spotted weakfish, focus on deeper channels with structure, while redfish often patrol the edges where depth changes occur. For fly anglers, we recommend bringing 7-8 weight setups with floating and intermediate lines to handle the variety of conditions we may encounter. The tidal movements significantly influence fish positioning, which is why having a guide with local knowledge makes all the difference in your fishing success.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your 4-hour inshore trip includes a fully-equipped fishing boat with all necessary tackle, from light spinning gear to fly fishing equipment. We accommodate up to four anglers comfortably, making this perfect for small groups or families. Morning trips typically begin at 7:00 AM, while afternoon sessions start at 1:00 PM, though we can sometimes adjust to accommodate special requests.
We recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), weather-appropriate clothing, and your own snacks and drinks. Don't forget your camera to document your catches! While we practice catch and release for many species, if you're interested in keeping legal fish for a meal, please let us know in advance so we can bring appropriate fish handling equipment. Florida fishing licenses are required and can be purchased online before your trip.
