Listen up, folks – this ain't your average day on the water. We're talking full-on competitive fishing action that'll get your heart racing faster than a redfish on the run. Our tournament package is dialed in to give you the edge, starting with a pre-fishing day to scout out the hotspots and dial in your strategy. We'll hit the water hard, sussing out where the big ones are hiding and fine-tuning our approach. Come tournament day, you'll be ready to roll straight from the captain's meeting to your honey holes. And when the sun sets? You and your team of four have a place to crash, swap fish tales, and gear up for the weigh-in. This is the real deal, designed to put you in prime position for tournament glory.
Alright, let's talk brass tacks. Tournament fishing is a whole different animal, and we've got the playbook to help you come out on top. We're not just tossing bait and hoping for the best – we're using every trick in the book. Expect to work a mix of techniques, from sight-casting to skinny water reds to drifting live bait for those trophy trout. We'll be armed with top-notch gear, from light tackle setups for finesse work to heavier rods when we need to muscle those big girls away from structure. And let's not forget about timing – we'll be hitting transitions hard, working the tides, and making every cast count. This is precision fishing at its finest, where every ounce can make the difference between glory and going home empty-handed.
When it comes to saltwater tournaments in these parts, two heavy hitters steal the show: sea trout and redfish. Let's break 'em down.
Sea trout, or specks as we like to call 'em, are the finesse target that can make or break your day. These silver-sided beauties are ambush predators, often hanging around grass flats and oyster bars. They've got a soft mouth, so setting the hook is an art form. The best time to target these guys is usually early morning or late evening when they're actively feeding. Anglers love 'em because they're not just about size – it's the challenge of outsmarting them that gets the blood pumping.
Now, redfish – these copper-colored bruisers are the bulldogs of the flats. They'll test your drag and your patience, often tailing in shallow water where you can sight-cast to them. The thrill of watching a red crush your lure in inches of water never gets old. Fall is prime time for big reds, but you can tangle with these fighters year-round. What makes them a tournament favorite is their combination of size and fight – landing a slot-sized red can put you in contention, but it's those over-slot monsters that become the stuff of legend.
Look, if you're serious about competitive fishing, this is your chance to step up to the plate. We're offering more than just a guided trip – this is your all-access pass to tournament success. From the moment we start pre-fishing to the final weigh-in, you're getting the full pro treatment. We've seen weekend warriors turn into local legends on these trips, and there's no reason you can't be next. The clock's ticking, and tournament spots fill up fast. Don't be the one telling stories about the big one that got away – be the one on stage with a trophy. Give us a shout, lock in your dates, and let's put your name on that leaderboard. The fish are waiting, and so is your shot at glory. What are you waiting for? Let's make it happen!
Redfish are a blast to chase in shallow waters. These copper-colored beauties usually run 20-30 inches but can get up to 45 inches in deeper areas. Look for them tailing in 1-4 feet of water around oyster beds, grass flats, and mangroves. Fall and spring are prime seasons when water temps are right. Redfish put up a great fight and taste delicious - mild and sweet. Anglers love sight fishing for them and watching them explode on topwater lures. To improve your odds, keep an eye out for their distinctive tail sticking up as they root for crabs in the shallows. When you spot one, make a quiet cast well ahead of the fish and slowly work your lure into its path. A gold spoon or scented soft plastic usually does the trick. Just be ready for some drag-screaming runs when you hook up!
Sea trout, or speckled trout as we call 'em, are a blast to catch. Most run 14-24 inches, but we occasionally hook into real gators over 5 pounds. You'll find them in grassy flats and around deeper channels, especially at dawn and dusk when they're feeding. They school up in deeper water during winter. Spring and fall are ideal, but summer nights can be hot too. Trout are known for their soft mouths, so a gentle touch when setting the hook is key. They're not the hardest fighters, but make up for it with their willingness to hit lures. For eating, you can't beat fresh trout. Here's a tip: when you see birds diving, there's a good chance trout are underneath chasing bait. Get a lure in there quick!
