Fall Fishing Frenzy: 4-Hour Charter + Free Hour
Hey there, anglers! Ready for some serious fall fishing action? We've cooked up a deal that'll have you itching to get out on the water. For a limited time, book any of our charters in September or October, and we'll throw in an extra hour of fishing time absolutely free. That's right - more time to land that trophy catch without spending an extra dime. Whether you're after hard-fighting redfish or tasty sea trout, this fall special is your ticket to an epic day on the water.
What's the Catch?
Our 4-hour private charter is already a sweet deal, but now we're cranking it up a notch. You'll get a full five hours of prime fishing time for the price of four. That means more casts, more hits, and more fish in the cooler. We're talking about that magical "golden hour" when the big ones really start biting. Trust me, as a seasoned guide, I've seen many a day saved by that extra hour on the water. And with fall being one of the hottest seasons for inshore fishing, you'll want every minute you can get.
Gearing Up for Success
On this trip, we'll be using light to medium tackle - perfect for the inshore species we're after. We'll rig up with a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day. Expect to do some casting around structure, drifting over grass flats, and maybe even some sight fishing if conditions are right. Don't worry if you're new to this - I'll show you the ropes and have you casting like a pro in no time. And for you seasoned anglers, get ready to swap some fish tales and maybe learn a new trick or two.
Fish on the Fall Menu
Fall is prime time for some of our most popular inshore species. Let's break down what you might be reeling in:
Spanish Mackerel: These speedy swimmers are a blast to catch. They'll hit just about anything that moves fast, so be ready for some high-speed trolling or casting. Expect hard strikes and acrobatic jumps as you reel them in. These guys are at their peak in the fall, often schooling up in big numbers. They're not just fun to catch - they're delicious on the grill too.
Sheepshead: Don't let those weird teeth fool you - sheepshead are smart cookies and notoriously tricky to hook. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting pilings, jetties, and oyster beds. The bite can be subtle, so you'll need to stay on your toes. But man, once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked. These striped battlers put up a great fight and make for some mighty fine eating.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these guys are a fall favorite. We'll be working grass flats and drop-offs, using both artificial lures and live bait. The fun part about sea trout is you never know if you'll hook into a little "schoolie" or a big gator trout. They've got soft mouths, so finesse is key when fighting them. Get ready for some light tackle action and tasty fillets.
Redfish: Ah, the mighty red drum. These copper-colored beauties are the crown jewel of inshore fishing. In the fall, we often find them tailing in shallow water, which makes for some heart-pounding sight fishing. Whether we're sight casting or blind casting, hooking into a big red is always a thrill. They pull like freight trains and will test your drag system and your arm muscles.
Why Fall is Prime Time
Listen up, folks - fall isn't just about pumpkin spice lattes and football. For us anglers, it's the season of plenty. As the water temps start to cool down, the fish go into feeding overdrive. They're bulking up for winter, which means they're hungry and aggressive. Baitfish are schooling up, and predators are hot on their tails. This creates the perfect storm for some epic fishing days. Plus, with the crowds thinning out after summer, we often have prime spots all to ourselves. It's like the fish are lining up to jump in the boat - and with our extra hour special, you'll have even more time to take advantage of this fall bounty.
What to Bring on Board
Alright, let's talk gear. We've got you covered with all the fishing essentials - rods, reels, bait, and tackle. But there are a few things you'll want to bring to make sure you have the best day possible: - A valid fishing license (we can help you get a temporary one if needed) - Sunscreen and a hat (that fall sun can still be sneaky) - Polarized sunglasses (helps you spot fish and cut glare) - Weather-appropriate clothing (layers are your friend) - Food and drinks (we'll be out there for 5 hours, so pack accordingly) - Camera or phone (for bragging rights, of course) - A cooler for your catch (if you plan on keeping fish) Remember, no bananas on the boat - it's bad luck!
Book Now, Thank Yourself Later
Folks, I've been guiding these waters for years, and let me tell you - this fall special is not something you want to miss. An extra hour of fishing time can make all the difference between a good day and an unforgettable one. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to put some meat in the freezer or a newbie hoping to land your first big catch, this trip is tailor-made for a good time.
The calendar is filling up fast, so don't wait to lock in your spot. Give Bluewater Charter a call today and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, when you're reeling in that trophy red or filling the cooler with tasty sea trout, you'll be glad you did. See you on the water!

Redfish
Sea Trout
Sheepshead are an oddball fish that'll test your skills and fill your cooler. They're easy to spot with their black and white stripes, earning them the nickname "convict fish." Adults typically run 14-20 inches and 1-8 pounds, though trophy fish can hit 20 pounds. You'll find sheepshead around any hard structure - docks, jetties, reefs - where they use those weird human-like teeth to crunch barnacles and crabs. They're most active in cooler months, with the bite really picking up in early spring. Anglers love targeting sheepshead for their stubborn fight and excellent table fare. But they're notorious bait stealers, so you've gotta be quick on the hook set. Try fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp on a small, sharp hook. Here's a local trick: Scrape some barnacles off pilings to chum them up, then drop your bait right in the mix. Sheepshead fishing takes patience, but the reward is a unique catch and some mighty fine eating.
Sheepshead
Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a favorite target for light tackle and fly fishing. These silvery fish average 1-5 pounds but can reach up to 15 pounds. Look for them around grass flats, oyster bars, and deeper channels, especially at dawn and dusk. They're most active in spring and fall when water temps are mild. Sea trout put up an acrobatic fight, often leaping clear out of the water. Their delicate white meat makes for excellent eating too. To catch 'em, try live shrimp under a popping cork or soft plastic jigs worked slowly along bottom structure. One tip: On calm mornings, look for subtle surface disturbances - that's often trout feeding on bait. Cast beyond the ripples and work your lure through the zone. Sea trout are fun to catch and great table fare, but they can be finicky. Patience and a stealthy approach go a long way in landing these speckled beauties.
Spanish Mackerel
Redfish are a prized catch around here, known for their coppery color and distinctive black spot near the tail. You'll typically find 'em in shallow waters, 1 to 4 feet deep, hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and jetties. They grow pretty big - adults average 28 to 33 inches, but can reach over 45 inches and 50 pounds. Fall's prime time for redfish, when they school up in the flats. They put up a great fight and taste delicious too, with a mild, sweet flavor. To land one, try working topwater lures or shrimp imitations in shallow areas. A local trick: Look for their tails breaking the surface as they feed in super shallow water. Just be stealthy - they spook easy. Whether you're after the thrill of the catch or a tasty dinner, redfish offer something for every angler. Just remember to check regulations, as they're a protected game fish in many areas.
