Welcome to a one-of-a-kind inshore experience tailored just for you by Thenna DF. This custom trip is all about giving you exactly what you're after on the water. Whether you're looking to chase redfish in the shallows, try your hand at some light tackle action, or just soak up the coastal vibes, we've got you covered.
This isn't your typical cookie-cutter fishing charter. Thenna DF has designed this trip to be flexible and personal, perfect for solo anglers who want a guide's full attention. You'll be the captain of your own adventure, deciding where to go and what to target based on the local conditions and your preferences. It's just you and your guide, making for a day on the water that's as laid-back or action-packed as you want it to be.
On this custom trip, we'll tailor our tactics to whatever's running hot. Maybe we'll be sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water, or perhaps we'll find some structure to work for speckled trout. Your guide knows these waters like the back of their hand and will put you on the fish using the most effective methods for the day. We might throw soft plastics, work topwater lures, or even break out the fly rod if that's your jam. The beauty of a custom trip is that we can switch it up on the fly to keep the rods bent and the fish coming.
Folks who book this trip rave about the personalized attention they get. It's not about following a set plan – it's about making the most of your time on the water. Maybe you're looking to dial in your casting technique, or you want to learn the ins and outs of reading the water. Whatever your goal, having the guide's undivided focus means you'll come away with new skills and insider knowledge that'll up your game for future fishing adventures.
While we can't predict exactly what'll be on the end of your line, these waters are known for some stellar inshore species. Redfish are a local favorite, known for their bulldog fights and beautiful bronze coloration. They love to cruise the flats and often give themselves away with their signature tail waving above the water – a sight that'll get any angler's heart racing.
Speckled trout are another staple of inshore fishing. These spotted beauties are known for their soft mouths and tendency to shake hooks, making them a fun challenge. They're often found around grass beds and oyster bars, and there's nothing quite like the explosion of a big trout on a topwater lure at dawn.
If conditions are right, we might even run into some flounder. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. They're ambush predators, so fishing for them requires a bit of finesse and patience. But when you hook into one, you're in for a treat – both in terms of the fight and the potential for a tasty dinner.
Since this is a custom trip, we'll make sure you're set up with the right gear for whatever we're targeting. Thenna DF provides all the tackle you'll need, from light spinning setups perfect for working soft plastics to heavier gear if we're chunking bait for bigger fish. Don't worry if you're new to some of these techniques – your guide will be right there to show you the ropes and help you fine-tune your approach.
While the fish are the stars of the show, there's more to this trip than just what's on the end of your line. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in the wake, ospreys diving for their lunch, or even the occasional manatee lazily cruising by. Your guide isn't just a fish-finder; they're a wealth of knowledge about the local ecosystem and can give you the inside scoop on the area's wildlife and conservation efforts.
Inshore fishing means we can usually find some protected water even if the wind kicks up. But weather can still play a big role in how your day shapes up. Your guide will be keeping a close eye on conditions and will adjust plans as needed to keep you comfortable and on the fish. Sometimes, a change in weather can even turn on the bite, so stay flexible and trust your guide's call on where to go and when.
To make the most of your custom trip, come prepared. Bring along some sunscreen, polarized sunglasses (they're a game-changer for spotting fish), and a hat. Dress in layers – mornings can be cool, but it often heats up as the day goes on. Don't forget to pack a camera to capture your catches, and maybe bring along a small cooler for drinks and snacks. Remember, there are no meals included on this trip, so plan accordingly.
At Thenna DF, we're big on keeping our fisheries healthy for generations to come. Your guide will show you proper catch-and-release techniques if that's your plan, or help you select fish to keep that are within regulations and sustainably harvested. It's all about enjoying the resource responsibly so that the fishing stays good for years to come.
