What to expect
Half Day Inshore is a relaxed but active 4‑hour outing from 70 West Marina, year‑round. Expect short runs between shallow flats, docks and nearshore structure with a mix of sight‑casting and bottom/bait work. You’ll encounter fast strikes (tarpon, ladyfish), methodical bites (sheepshead, snapper) and occasional follow‑and‑chase moments (redfish, snook). Seas are typically protected but can be choppy; the pace is flexible—periods of steady action interspersed with downtime for repositioning. Crew will handle gear setup and safety briefings; bring a camera and be ready for quick, exciting hooks and photo ops.
What to bring
Layered clothing: light base layer, mid layer (fleece or light hoodie), windproof/waterproof shell. Sun protection: broad‑brim hat, sunscreen SPF 30+, long‑sleeve UV shirt. Footwear: non‑marking deck shoes or sandals with straps. Accessories: polarized sunglasses, small tackle‑proof bag, light gloves, phone in waterproof case, zip bags for valuables. Bring at least 20–32 oz water per person, plus a compact, non‑perishable snack or sandwich and electrolyte drink. Optional: motion‑sickness remedies if you’re prone, and a small personal first‑aid kit.
