Fish on the Radar

Black Drum: These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of our inshore waters. Known for their distinctive 'croaking' sound, black drum can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters topping 50 pounds. They're bottom feeders with a sweet tooth for crustaceans, making them a blast to target with crab or shrimp baits. The fight of a big black drum is something every angler should experience – it's like trying to lift a VW Beetle off the ocean floor. Spring and fall are prime times to tangle with these whisker-faced giants.

Sheepshead: Don't let their goofy grin fool you – sheepshead are crafty adversaries that'll test your skills. These striped bandits are notorious bait stealers, with a mouth full of human-like teeth perfect for crushing crabs and barnacles. Catching them requires finesse and patience, as their bite can be so subtle you might miss it if you blink. But when you hook up, you're in for a treat. Sheepshead put up a scrappy fight and are delicious on the dinner table. They're around all year, but winter and early spring see them schooling up around structures.

Redfish: The rockstars of inshore fishing, redfish (or red drum) are prized for their hard-fighting nature and their willingness to eat just about anything. These copper-colored beauties are known for their distinctive spot near the tail, and catching a "bull red" over 40 inches is a bucket-list item for many anglers. We target them year-round, but fall is particularly exciting when big schools of reds gather to spawn. Sight-fishing for tailing redfish in shallow water is an adrenaline rush like no other.

Bonnethead Shark: These smaller cousins of the hammerhead are perfect for anglers looking to tangle with a shark without the intimidation factor of larger species. Bonnetheads typically range from 2-4 feet and put up a spirited fight on light tackle. They're most active in the warmer months and love to cruise the shallows hunting for crabs and small fish. Don't let their size fool you – hooking into one of these guys will have your drag singing in no time.

Blacktip Shark: For those looking for a real heart-pumping experience, blacktip sharks deliver in spades. These acrobatic predators are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, often leaping clear out of the water. Growing up to 6 feet or more, blacktips offer a serious challenge on rod and reel. We typically target them in the warmer months when they move into our inshore waters. The sight of a blacktip's dorsal fin cutting through the water is sure to get your blood pumping.
