Ready to wet a line in some of Georgia's most productive inshore waters? This 6-hour charter out of Brunswick puts you right in the thick of the action. We're talking redfish tailing in the grass, trout smashing topwaters, and sheepshead picking oyster beds clean. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, Captain Brandon knows how to put you on the fish and keep the rods bent all day long.
We'll start the day early, loading up on live bait before hitting the water as the sun's coming up. The beauty of Brunswick's inshore fishing is the variety – one minute you might be sight-casting to redfish in skinny water, the next you're dropping baits around deep creek mouths for big trout. We'll mix it up throughout the day, targeting everything from redfish and speckled trout to flounder, black drum, and even the occasional shark. The longer 6-hour format gives us plenty of time to explore different spots and really dial in on what's biting.
Our go-to technique is live bait fishing with light tackle, which is both effective and a blast for anglers of all skill levels. We'll rig up with popping corks for trout, free-line baits for redfish, or switch to bottom rigs when targeting sheepshead around structure. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing – Captain Brandon will walk you through everything from how to cast to setting the hook. And for the more experienced anglers, we can break out some artificial lures or fly gear if that's your preference. The key is staying versatile and adapting to what the fish want on any given day.

Redfish: The crown jewel of inshore fishing, redfish (also known as red drum) are a favorite target for good reason. These copper-colored beauties can be found tailing in shallow grass flats or cruising along oyster bars. They put up a great fight, often making screaming runs when hooked. The best part? Redfish are available year-round in Brunswick, with fall being prime time for big schools of slot-sized fish.
Speckled Trout: If you're after non-stop action, speckled trout are your ticket. These spotted predators hunt in packs, so when you find them, it's often fast and furious fishing. They're suckers for live shrimp under a popping cork, but there's nothing quite like the excitement of a trout blowing up on a topwater lure at first light. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round in Brunswick.
Sheepshead: Often called the "convict fish" for their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are the ultimate structure-oriented species. You'll find them around pilings, oyster beds, and rocky areas. They're notorious bait stealers, so hooking one takes finesse – but the reward is some of the best-tasting fish in the sea. Winter is prime time for big sheepshead in Brunswick.
Black Drum: The often-overlooked cousin of the redfish, black drum can grow to massive sizes. While the smaller ones (under 15 pounds) are excellent table fare, the real thrill is hooking into a big one that'll test your drag system. They love crabs and shrimp, and you'll often find them hanging around the same areas as redfish. Fall through spring is the best time to target them in Brunswick.
Flounder: These flat ambush predators might not look like much, but they're prized for both their fight and their fillets. We target them around sandy bottoms near structure, often using live finger mullet or mud minnows. The satisfaction of feeling that distinctive "thump" when a flounder inhales your bait is hard to beat. Fall is typically the best season for flounder in Brunswick as they prepare for their offshore migration.
Look, whether you're a die-hard angler or just looking for a fun day on the water with family and friends, this Brunswick inshore trip has something for everyone. With a mix of species, varied techniques, and the chance to bring home a cooler full of fresh fillets – it's hard to go wrong. Captain Brandon knows these waters like the back of his hand and is passionate about putting clients on fish. So why wait? The tides are right, the fish are biting, and there's a spot on the boat with your name on it. Book now and get ready for a day of rod-bending, drag-screaming action in the rich waters of coastal Georgia. Just remember – once you experience the thrill of Brunswick's inshore fishing, you might find yourself coming back year after year. Tight lines!

Black Drum are the big cousins of Redfish, known for their distinctive croaking sound. These hefty fighters typically range from 5-30 pounds, but can top 90 pounds in rare cases. You'll find them in brackish waters, often around oyster beds and mudflats. Spring is prime time as they school up to spawn, making them easier to target. Anglers love Black Drum for their strong pull and good eating, especially the smaller ones under 15 pounds. They're bottom feeders, so live bait like crabs or clams work best. Here's a local tip: when you feel that telltale nibble, wait a moment before setting the hook. Black Drum are notorious bait stealers, so giving them time to really take the bait can improve your hookup rate. Whether you're after a trophy fish or a tasty dinner, Black Drum offer a fun challenge for all skill levels.

Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rock stars of inshore fishing around here. You can spot them by their copper color and black tail spot. Most are in the 3-10 pound range, but they can grow over 40 pounds. Look for them in shallow water, often so shallow their backs are out of water. They love hanging around oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths. Fall is prime time when they school up, but you can catch them year-round. Anglers love Redfish for their hard fighting and great eating. They'll hit just about any bait or lure, from live shrimp to topwater plugs. Here's a local secret: on sunny days, look for their tails sticking up as they root for crabs in the shallows. Quietly ease up and make a cast just beyond them – it's an exciting way to fish!

Sheepshead are the oddball of inshore fishing, with their human-like teeth and convict-striped bodies. Most weigh 1-8 pounds, but they can hit 20 pounds if you're lucky. You'll spot them around any structure with barnacles – docks, bridges, and reefs are prime spots. Spring is the best time to target them as they gather to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of catching these bait-stealers, and their sweet, white meat makes great table fare. Here's a trick: use a small, sharp hook and set it fast. Sheepshead are experts at nibbling bait off hooks, so you've got to be quick. Fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp are top baits. When you find a good spot, you might land several in a row. Just be careful of those sharp fins when you're handling them!
