Fishing 101: Inshore Style
If you're new to inshore fishing, don't sweat it. Captain Jeremy's got all the gear you need, and he'll show you how to use it. You might be tossing soft plastics for trout one minute, then switching to cut bait for redfish the next. The techniques are easy to pick up, and before you know it, you'll be casting like a pro. Inshore waters are typically calmer, making this trip a great choice if you're worried about seasickness or bringing along the little ones. And let's be real – there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that first tug on your line.
Top Catches This Season
Alabama's inshore waters are teeming with a variety of fish that'll put a bend in your rod. Redfish are always a favorite – these copper-colored bruisers can really make your drag sing. Sea trout are another common catch, known for their speckled beauty and tasty fillets. If you're looking for something with a bit more muscle, the black drum might be your target. These big boys can grow to over 50 pounds and give you a serious workout. Don't forget about the sheepshead – they might look funny with those human-like teeth, but they're a blast to catch and great eating too.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish: These guys are the rock stars of inshore fishing. Known for their distinctive spot near the tail, redfish can range from "puppy drum" size up to big bull reds that'll test your tackle. They love hanging around structure and can often be seen tailing in shallow water. Redfish put up a great fight and are excellent table fare – no wonder they're at the top of many anglers' target lists.
Sea Trout: Also called speckled trout, these fish are a staple of inshore fishing in Alabama. They're known for their beautiful spotted pattern and their willingness to hit artificial lures. Sea trout are most active in the cooler months, but can be caught year-round if you know where to look. They're not the biggest fish in the sea, but they make up for it with their aggressive strikes and delicious meat.
Sheepshead: With their black and white stripes and those crazy teeth, sheepshead are one of the more unique-looking fish you'll encounter. They're notorious bait stealers, making them a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels. Sheepshead love hanging around pilings and other structure, where they use those teeth to crush barnacles and crabs. They're at their peak in the cooler months and are considered excellent eating.
Black Drum: The big cousins of the redfish, black drum can grow to impressive sizes. While the smaller ones (under 15 pounds) are great for the table, the real thrill is hooking into one of the big boys. These fish love crustaceans and can often be found rooting around on the bottom. When you hook a big black drum, get ready for a drawn-out battle – these fish have serious staying power.
Blacktip Shark: For many anglers, especially kids, catching a shark is the ultimate thrill. Blacktip sharks are common in Alabama's inshore waters, especially during the warmer months. They're known for their acrobatic leaps when hooked and can put up a serious fight. While most inshore blacktips are on the smaller side (3-4 feet), they still provide plenty of excitement. Remember, these are catch-and-release only in Alabama waters, so have your camera ready for a quick photo before sending them back.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
It's not just about the fish – though let's be honest, that's a big part of it. What keeps folks coming back to Captain Jeremy's trips is the whole package.

Whether you're a local looking for a quick fishing fix or a visitor wanting to experience the best of Gulf Coast angling, this 2-hour trip hits the sweet spot.

Learn more about the species
Black Drum
Black Drum are hefty fighters, usually weighing 5-30 pounds but can top 90. Look for them around oyster beds, muddy flats, and structures in brackish waters. They use their strong jaws to crush shellfish, making a distinctive drumming sound. Spring's your best bet, as they school up to spawn. Anglers love 'em for the challenge and table fare, but stick to smaller ones under 15 pounds for the best eating. When fishing, use fresh crab or shrimp and keep your bait on the bottom. A local trick: scrape some barnacles off pilings to create a chum slick. These opportunistic feeders will home in on that scent trail fast. Just be ready for a stubborn battle when you hook one!
Blacktip Shark
Blacktip Sharks are an exciting catch, usually running 4-5 feet long but can hit 9 feet. You'll find them patrolling artificial reefs and continental shelves, typically in waters under 100 feet deep. They're most active in warmer months when they move closer to shore. Anglers love the thrill of battling these powerful fish, known for their high-flying acrobatics - they can leap 20 feet per second! To hook one, use oily fish like mackerel or herring as bait. Here's a local trick: chum the water with a fish paste to draw them in. Just be ready for action; these sharks are known for their excitable nature and can even jump into boats! Use heavy braided line and circle hooks to handle their strength. Remember, they're catch-and-release only, so have your camera ready for a quick photo before sending them back.
Redfish
Redfish, or Red Drum, are a staple in these parts. They're easy to spot with that black dot near their tail - nature's way of confusing predators. Most run 28-33 inches, but they can grow over 45 inches and top 50 pounds. You'll find them in shallow waters, often just 1-4 feet deep, hanging around oyster reefs, lagoons, and man-made structures. They're year-round residents, but fall's especially good as they feed heavily before winter. Anglers love 'em for their strong fights and great eating. To catch one, try shallow-running lures or live bait in the flats. Here's a local tip: look for their tails sticking up as they root around in super shallow water. It's called "tailing," and it's a sure sign you've found a feeding red. Just approach quietly and make an accurate cast - they spook easy.
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite around here. They usually run 14-24 inches and 1-5 pounds, but can get bigger. Look for them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love to hang out in 1-4 feet of water, sometimes with their backs exposed. Winter's a good time to target them, as they school up in deeper channels. Anglers enjoy their fight and their tasty, flaky white meat. To catch 'em, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. Live shrimp works great too. Here's a local trick: troll slowly along grass flats if you're having trouble finding them. Just remember, they're delicate eaters, so set the hook quick and don't overcook 'em if you're planning a fish fry.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead, nicknamed "convict fish" for their black and white stripes, are a unique catch around here. They typically run 1-8 pounds but can hit 20. You'll find them hanging around barnacle-covered structures like docks, bridges, and jetties. These crafty fish have human-like teeth perfect for crunching crustaceans. Spring's prime time as they school up to spawn. Anglers love the challenge - sheepshead are notorious bait stealers. For best results, use live fiddler crabs or shrimp and fish as close to the structure as you can. Here's a pro tip: when you feel that telltale nibble, wait a second before setting the hook. That slight pause can make all the difference in landing these wily fish. They're also excellent eating, with sweet, white meat that's a local favorite.
